New guy, near Sedona Az

Hello all. Thanks for the /join. Tried for a few weeks with no luck, but things are working again and I am all signed up !

I have a 2019 Tundra Crew Max Trd 4x limited. In Cavalry blue. Have 82k already! I can remember the first scratch (called AZ pin striping here). And how much it hurt. But there are lots more of them now for sure.

Also had a 92 Bronco, which I just sold. It was used for serious off road ventures and scratches I didnt want on my new Tundra .. But can justify keeping them both.. Sold the Bronco and get more than I thought I would ! YAY..

So started planning upgrades for the tundra, starting with a new head unit, speakers, amp, dash cam, and other toys.. Then wondered if I should be putting that much money in something with that many miles on it. Contemplated on buying a new one and starting from scratch. But thankfully common sense returned to me, much to the chagrin of the sales guy.

I live on a dirt road, and actually use this truck a lot. And I see people getting several hundred thousand miles on them, and its paid for. And I think most importantly, its already scratched. If I got a new one, I would be having to go through weeping every time it got a scratch or ding. Can't take it again LOL..

So been reading on how to spend money on here! and I am going to. Stereo project scheduled for next week. Also ordered a new shell for it so I can carry my gear with me instead of using the back seat for storage LOL.

Next project will be bumpers.

I have done a LOT of reading, and appreciated the brain trust! Hope I can add so it in some small way.

Thanks gents!

 

Welcome from So. AZ. Love your part of the state.

 

I'm a simple man, I see Sedona I click.

Welcome aboard from SoCal.

 

Big Arizona group on this site, and of course you're super close to the biggest annual meeting of Tundra's (unfortunately not in Sedona this year), Tundra's to Sedona.

 

Welcome from SoCal!

 

Welcome aboard! I too have a 2019 CM 4x4 Limited and would be 100% comfortable investing money into personalizing it for my use. I've got 77k miles on this one and 270k on my 2000. Both solid and dependable.

 

Welcome! Calvary Blue is my favorite! Lots of great information to be found here. Feel free to reach out and connect sometime. Sedona is beautiful! I live down the road in Rimrock/Lake Montezuma Community.

 

Welcome from Flagstaff. Gimme a holler if you ever need assistance w wrenching.

 

Following up on your concern - I’m dumping as much money as ever into my rig with 96k miles on it. No concerns.

 

Thanks!!

 

Thank you ~. I am originally from Riverside Ca !

 

Thank you ! Hopefully soon !

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

That is good to hear for sure. Was wondering if I was losing my mind there for a bit! Look forward to some customization !

 

We are not far apart.. I actually live in Cornville, but nobody knows where that is, but they do know Sedona.. So I say that

 

I just might do that !

 

Makes it easier to do bigger mods (like cutting bedsides and body mount chop) when it’s not a brand new truck…

I need the insider info on more great trails around Sedona - I’ve done Broken Arrow, Schnebly, Soldier’s Pass, Cliffhanger - Do you have any recommendations?

 

Welcome to the group! Post some pictures of your rig so we can see what you're working with! This is a great forum and community; I've learned a ton through everyone here.

 

haha classic! I do the same when I describe where I live to folks from out of state. "Oh, you know, near Sedona..." and the reply is, "oh that place on social media looks so beautiful" Hahaha

I bet you have killer views in Cornville almost as good as what Sedona can offer.

I appreciate my view and its more affordable than a proper Sedona view haha

 

Welcome from the Great State of Texas!

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Wow... there are so many ! Good place to start is the MVUM (Forest Service speak for the Motor Vehicle Use Map) which are free, and if you use avenza for navigating they are FREE! This is an odd area as within an hour you can be in the Coconino, Prescott, Tonto & Williams/Kaibab Forests. So plenty of terrain. One nice run is between Cherry Creek & Jerome, although it is snowed up right now. I think they are USFS 413 & 132. You can get all the way up from the valley on the end of Mingus street, but I wouldnt do that part in my Tundra. Took it is Polaris, and of course check the road conditions no matter what. Changes all the time

 

Other then the AZ pinstriping, it is stock pretty much except for an Ipad mount LOL.. I will take some pics after the stereo install next week!

 

Welcome

 

My views are South and West more or less.. House Mtn blocks my view of Sedona. But love the views out West too ! Looking around to see how to add a pic LOL

 

Welcome from Nevada

 

Click the uplaod a file button then choose your pic, then insert the image.

 

Welcome! If you're going to fit in with the other northern AZ toyotas, you'll need to add at least 1000lbs of lights, shovels, and other assorted bro-trophies, asap
