That what boy scouts was for. Also I learned how to clean house at poker. I remember going on a camping trip with $20 and coming home with alot more. never trust a 14 year old kid when he says he doesn't know how to play. Also learned how to say "The tree just fell over" or "dam that fire can roast a cow". There was always the cloud comming from the SPL tent (remember don't inhale)

The truck is all clean again. Covered the burned area inside the bed with a thick coat of primer. Sure was a PITA to clean the ceiling of the camper shell. Had to use some commercial strength concrete cleaner to get all the black stuff off of it. Fun times...

can someone post up a map indicating where you guys go for the run?
i hope to be joining you guys if all the upgrades are done on my truck.

Find Mesa and Payson, AZ on a map. there's a bunch of trails in between that we're doing and one just north of Payson.

I still have to get my:

On the way to AZ Run VII, I was explaining where I was headed to someone at a rest area. He asked "Where abouts in Arizona does this take place?". I replied "Who cares? I'm on vacation!"

You could make three complete round trips and still not match my milage. You're practically in the neighborhood, for Pete's sake.

holy smokes thats a long way to go wheelin. is it good wheelin or the wheelin and good people that you come for?

Its all good the wheelin’, scenery, people, camping, eating, etc. I’ve been to a lot of events, runs, etc and this is one of the best around.

Drive from CA is pretty easy , you can make it in ~ 7 hrs, well worth it just make sure you stay for most or all of the week to get the most out of it.

As far as mods; If I have time this winter hope to have my rear triangulated reverse link system done on my X if not guess I'll have to slum it with the leafs

Yes.

Around my neck of the woods, most of the folks that come out to camp and wheel with me think I am a bit extreme. I own a motorhome, yet I prefer to throw a tent in the back of the truck and head deep into the wilderness.
Around here I am a nut. On the AZ run, I feel like I fit right in.

REVEREND!!

Manual trans conversion DONE!

Nice John,

I have dropped the front diff, got the truck running again, changed the oil, cut off one of the sliders (plasma cutters rule), and tore off all the IFS stuff.

Kit will be ordered this week, and all the axle rebuild parts are here or in transit.

Doing outer CV boots tomorrow evening.
Need tires early next year along with three more new rims.
All fluids due for change around that time. All new Redline throughout.
French the jack and shovel into the inner bedsides.
Raise the rear tire carrier and fuel tank.
Possibly mount a fresh water tank under the bed.
Install the linear amp if I can find it in the garage.

Axle is at the diff shop and the kit has been ordered.

as long as the truck is done, im there!
got the green light from the girlfriend yesterday.
