Hey guys, I've been in AZ for a little over a year now, but I have yet to go off-roading out here, basically because I don't know any other jeepers or where to go.
My jeep is totally stock, other than the new Rubicon tires and wheels I threw on it, so be gentle with me!
I live out in Buckeye right now...so send some places my way!
thanks!

I think you'd enjoy Raw Deal. it's a relatively easy trail, but fun and challenging if your pretty much stock, I've been considering taking a few of the stockish jeeps on that trail and get them off of dirt roads, maybe you'd be interested?

South end of White tanks has several trails that you could do. Appitizer and Tax collector would work, also there are plenty of roads and sandy washes. I would be glad to show you around, during the week is better, less quad traffic.

Yeah I'll admit I graduated from the Shnipe school of wheelin' If the metal is still straight It's because I just haven't tried hard enough.

Thanks Dennis, I was just trying to figure out how to explain about Bill..... You know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words". I just posted up on another thread about meeting Sunday at 7 am on Watson road. Check out the info. on getting a State land permit on this thread;http://www.virtualjeepclub.com/showthread.php?t=15841
Don't worry Shannon, Yellow Jeeps ARE cool, and we will be gentle.:D

Whuut? :D

A special thanks to my ARC Brothers (And SISTERS) that were there to help. :o

And another shout out to Nick at Performance Off Road, whom I owe a great debt of grattitude for repairs. If you need something for your 4 wheeler, see these folks. You won't regret it.

And last but not least, to the sackless Shnipe, who wasn't even there!:eek:
Don't be scared! If you feel pimped, Just say NO! :D

Shannonmac, you may also want to pick up a copy of "Guide to Arizona Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails" by Charles A. Wells (<$30). It details many of the trails VJC runs and classifies them by difficulty and location.
