1st gens to Sedona 2023!!!

Railroad or oil?

 

How long have you been there?

 

Security... I wish I was making oil money

 

4.5 years almost

 

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that thought that when I saw it

 

That was the October T2S right?...If so I totally scored C4 Bumper and Westcott roofrack.

 

I'd be so ecstatic if I won some 35" tires or some 17" 6 lug wheels that fit. I don't know why Toyota made the 2nd gens 5 lug and the 3rd gens 6 lug but different from every other 6 lug Toyota. They had such a good thing going across models across decades and thru it away. Stupid ass Mike Sweers.

 

OMW

 

Highly recommend the Petrified Forest if you get a chance. It was worth the stop for us. Cell phone pics don't do it justice. The Blue Mesa trail is the best I think.





We also did the tourist thing and stood on the corner.

 

You guys look like you're having a great adventure. Thanks for sharing the pics and anecdotes, keep 'em coming! living vicariously through you guys this year.

 

Almost like being there. Thanks for all the photos and words. Keep it rolling.

 

Been driving a few hours now with an unsolicited body massage. Anyone know of a shop that can balance a large tire in Flag? I accidentally knocked off the counterweights on my front wheel yesterday.

 

on the road.

 

I've got all mine done at discount tire on milton, but I dont have 40's. You could try Heath's on the west side of town.

 

how big a tire

 

Found a shop in Barstow.

 

What's the world's largest thermometer registering today?

 

I won’t be driving by it. Gotta jump on the 40 after Barstow.

 

That’s in Baker up the 15 from Barstow. Same place that has that popular Greek restaurant, Alien Fresh Jerky, and a brake fluid stain from my first attempt at the Mojave trail

 

Hang on,

​

 

It's been a lot of years since I visisted that forest. We did a job in Snowflake, AZ and spent some time discovering around there.

 

Snowflake / Taylor is like going back in time. I remember driving through there on Sundays in college and EVERYTHING was closed.

 

I was there about 12 weeks starting in mid-March of 2000. We would fly into Show Low and stayed in Pine Top. Nothing like having to get on a scale with your luggage before being assigned one of 6 seats (7 if they opted not to have a co-pilot for that flight) on the plane. That area reminded me a lot of the area I grew up in up in the very northern tip of Idaho (basically on the Canadian border).

 

lunch just outside Yuma. flying J truckstop

 

You ain't staying up late

 

The grand canyon is amazing. Well worth the 2 hour drive from Flag. @des2mtn was nice enough to lead the way.

 

I mean, you're probably right on that. But I should be back online before y'all manage to crash out, I hope.

(That is, if you're doing it right)

 

If you're doing it right. You're an hour ahead so when I go to bed it's at least 8am for you

 

This is what makes it all worth while.. thank y'all for taking pics with your 1GTs

 

Whoa that's pretty and I think it's funny the building is just a facade
