ARIZONA MEET & GREETS

We have a big community of off roaders here in Arizona, so why not get together and get to know each other a little bit? Check back here regularly for upcoming events, whether it be "coffee and rigs" or trail runs. Post suggestions in the thread and I will try to keep on top of maintaining this OP.

  Phoenix, AZ

Upcoming Trail Runs

We had a good time hangin out at Trident last night, sorry we missed all you Tundra guys!

 

I know its tough for the Phx guys, no worries we'll figure something out later this month or definitely October! I'm thinking Brushfire BBQ or Old Chicago Pizza off Campbell in Tucson for the next meet on Monday 9/12. Lets say 5:30-8pm again or show up anywhere in-between. Throw out your votes on which one and lets make it official (old Chicago does have a better parking lot for a meet).

BrushFire BBQ
2745 N Campbell Ave, Tucson, AZ 85719

About 9am on the 21st, I plan to run Bulldog Canyon Trail with a few TacomaWorld Members along with any others interested. You do need a permit to run the trail which can be found HERE . Meet point is in the little parking lot HERE The trail will lead out to Bush Hwy and from there it's about a 10 minute drive to Butcher Jones Recreation Site. Should arrive just before or close to Noon to begin setting up. That's all optional for those that wanna sleep in

At the Butcher Jones Recreation Site, we'll BBQ and bring some games like bags and such. Please BYOB, drinks, and food, but I'll have a grill for use. Should be a good time checking out everyone's rigs! Once we pack up, for those that either didn't wheel in the morning or just want more trail time, I plan to lead another run through Butcher Jones to the coves and back out to 4 Peaks Road. Bring your family, dogs, and friends!

So this is plenty of notice for me, thanks Stephen. I'll put it on the calander and plan to meet up there. Sounds like a great day! I'll add the link you sent me on Arizona Tundras Facebook page too, maybe we can attract some new peeps.

 

Sweet I have been waiting for the next meet! I can probably do the morning run and BBQ

 

This isn't on a Sunday, how am I supposed to attend this? Plus I don't know how I would fair up in 4 peaks, never been up there.

 

Tell Cliff to tag along and it's for "marketing purposes"

 

A sponsored trail run!!

 

can't wait for the pics.

 

We have 35 tacomas on board so far along with a couple FJs and T4Rs, need more Tundras!

*CURRENT UPCOMING MEET*

CHIVA FALLS Trail Run/Camping Trip
(32.258433, -110.595700)
Saturday October 21st, 2017 @ 0800





October 21st at 8AM we will meet at Circle K off of Tanque Verde at the following address:
11271 E Tanque Verde Rd
Tucson, AZ 85749
From here we'll head out no later than 0830 and continue East to Redington Pass Road. There are 2 entrances for the Chiva Falls Trail. Each trail will test you, but we confirmed a 2wd Tundra on 34" mud terrain tires and a 2" lift can make it to the camping location using the second entrance aka "2wd" route. This route bypasses a large 4x4 section and a difficult obstacle, then junctions with the original trail near a wash where camp will be. I highly recommend minimum 2-2.5" lift and some good offroad tires for everyone.

The first entrance or "4x4" route leading up to Chiva Falls and back out will absolutely require 2-2.5" minimum lift, offroad experience, listening to your spotter, willingness to accept AZ pinstripes, and some front and rear bumper dragging. This trail gets pretty tight and is not for the fainthearted. I also recommend sliders, especially for those sitting right at 2-2.5". Within the first quarter mile of this route off of Redington Road is a challenging obstacle called 3 Feathers. This obstacle can be extremely difficult for our long wheel base Tundras if less than 2.5" of lift. Sliders will help with that but then the rear differential can get hung up. I currently have sliders and 3" of lift and made it through with ease.

Other than that, Chiva Falls is truly an Oasis in the desert even though it isn't currently running. There was a small trickle coming down, but it's still a great trail to experience. The weather unfortunately is still pretty mild, forecast says about 86 for the high, but low 50's for the low Hope to see some of you soon!

 

It gets virgin on prom night tight.

Also, @TRON I'm fairly certain you have now posted more photos of my truck than I have lol

 

Well atleast you aren't creeping the whole time!

 

You’re making me miss Tucson. Used to ditch class with some girls and go up there with some beer fairly often when in high school. Rincons, back side of mt lemon, Santaritas, Gates pass, damn lot of beautiful country! I hope you’re bringing shotguns, this used to be some great quail country too. Send some pictures of the ride.
