BayRunner’s Tundras to Sedona 2022 Journey (There and Back Again)

Yea, it was cool to see that herd. Sorry you had to leave today, but other necessities may take priority.

So far, Broken Arrow is my favorite. Think I’ll run that one again tomorrow and let the daughter take it down the staircase.

 

Nice to meet you @BayRunner. Here are a few more shots after the Oak Creek Homestead trail run just past Jerome on the next trail back towards Williams. Be sure to post up some pictures if you end up in Moab on your way back home. Safe travels.

 

@AZTundra It was a pleasure meeting you as well. Thanks for posting the pics from our run. BTW, Your truck is awesome. You can send me that supercharger any time

 

So most ended up packing up and leaving on Sunday, but I stayed another day to do more wheeling. Spent the day hanging out with @kyle11863 and ran Broken Arrow again. Ran across another T2S attendee also doing Broken Arrow, whose not on Tundras.com.

Speaking of Broken Arrow, most will agree the best part is the Devils Staircase. It was an eventful day for a Jeep (not a pink Jeep) who was sitting on its back at the bottom of the stairs. Their is really only one line down the staircase and the driver tried to make his own line and then tumbled down landing on his back. So, not only did he embarrass himself by being stupid but also totaled his Jeep. Sorry did not get a pic of this for I was part of trying to clear the traffic jam.

Followed Broken Arrow with a great lunch at the Outlaw Grill and then took the bumpy Schnebly Hill Road back to camp.

BTW, the daughter absolutely loves wheeling. She drove the second half of Broken Arrow including down the staircase..I was filming at the bottom with @kyle11863 spotting her down.

 

Nice pics, you forgot to paint your towhooks red though. Missing out on that +15 grip bonus.

 

So that’s why it slid several times coming down Devils Staircase . Noted, paint tow hooks for next year.

 

Loved reading this thread! Very jealous. Down to do a trip like this!

 

Do any of you guys that wheel in the brush do PPF on the sides of your trucks? Or maybe some cheap vinyl wrap off of Scamazon as a temporary PPF to prevent the backwoods pinstriping? After the trip you could just peel it off.

 

Was that @1lowlife ?!

 

The journey continues: setting up camp and cooking dinner in Arkansas.

 

Well, I went to your build thread in your sig to see what your bumper is, and I left you another message about updating it.


That bumper looks to fit pretty tight. Any issues with it rubbing the body panels/grille this trip with all the torsion on the trails?

 

The front bumper is an nFab and I absolutely love it. I did use the 1/2” CoachBiilder bumper shims when I installed it. This gives a little more clearance from the grille.

It performed very well on the trails. Didn’t get touched once on the rock riding. I did kiss the engine skid, cat plate skid and rear receiver a couple of times but it was just scuffs.

 

where’s camp in Arkansas?

 

your rig is dialed in for camping !

 

Wasn't me, I drive these..
But only 1 or 2 trailers..

 

Is that for real? That’s nuts!

 

Finally found somebody who drives a truck that's bigger than yours, @Cruzer

 

I settled in north of Little Rock last night. Crappy weather now but pressing on.

 

Thanks man. It has been nice and performed to expectations.

 

safe travels, the weather does suck today.

 

Hope she can still see, that looks like it would blind you.

 

@BayRunner great pictures and adventures. Glad I had a chance to meet you and your daughter...!

 

Not as bright as it looks. iPhone extends the exposure time when taking pictures at night, so the lights were over exposed.

 

The pleasure was all mine @SAGE63 . I throughly enjoyed meeting you as well as wheeling with you. The daughter also enjoyed meeting you and we are looking forward to next year.

 

Setting up camp in the Tennessee mountains. Getting ready for the approaching thunder storms. A true test for this RoofNest tent.

 

He showed us another, earlier in this thread too. Maybe he’s building ‘em as he goes…

 

That’s the Edgar Evans State Park. They do have nice spots and also have a handful of wheelchair friendly ones with concrete decks. This was last nights spot.
