Wheelin The Bradshaws

[Locked and Loaded]

My wife and I did a day trip to the Bradshaw Mountains. It's one of our favorite places in Arizona. Kind of our little secret. It's a 3 day weekend and we only saw a couple guys on quads. It's only 2 hours from Phoenix. Had a fun time till I got the carnage you see in the last picture.:mad:

Got hung up on a log. When it rolled it caught my grill and a little bit of my door. I call it a log. My wife calls it a "I can't believe you didn't see that TREE!":rolleyes:

X2 what Jaber said. I'm just dying to get a run going since I missed the smiley rock trip. Would have loved to go out wheeling.
Looks like ya had fun. and this weekend was a good time to go it was beautiful up here. :thumbsup:

[Locked and Loaded]

It was a last minute decision to go. We do that sometimes. You guys live up there. Go get them tires dirty.

I'd definetly be down for some type of run now that I have a running rig. I'm not sure if I could do smiley rock yet as I don't have a lift on her yet but it looks like Nathan made it pretty good. Jaber and I were talking last weekend and he wants to do another run as soon as he gets his sons xj up and running. Theres a place in the Flag area called the cinders that I'm curious about but thats probably a bit far for those who live down south a ways. But I'm game for almost anything and I'm sure those of you in the valley would'nt mind getting away from the triple digit heat. :D So if anyone has any suggestions I've got the next couple weekends off.

I'm booked until late July.

Get her lifted and that would open up a lot of options up around you. CK, Desoto Mine, Sedona, etc.

Pretty much the same here, maybe a local run or two pre-Ouray.
After Ouray I'll probably wheel in NM since I have not been to my place there since March.

[EnigmaticEngineer]

Yep....The only one to get hung up....The only one to run out of gas (lolz)...and now my rig marks its spot (leaks) with most of its tranny fluid within a couple days (trans converter seal) but No Worries.

No, I did do fine considering the rig and the terrain. It was a blast and I probably wouldn't have been hung up if I just had 30's or 31's and my stock wag sag.

I haven't been on much since I started work, re-adjusting to getting up at 4:45-5:00am has been harder than I thought in my old age :D (I'm 30 lol)

I hope everyone from the run is well and I look foreward to the next one. Let me know...if I haven't fixed the converter seal by then, I'll buy a case of tranny juice and go anyways ;)

I was more than impressed what you were able to do in a bone stock 40 yr old fullsize grocery getter.:fsj:

[Tad]

Nathan,
We talked about this at camp, I did the hanger replacement and added the longer springs. Works fine and have been back on the road since Monday afternoon.

Nathan was talking about knowing a bunch of trails out by his place, maybe we could do something over the weekend of the 4th? I will more then likely have 4 days to play.

What say yee????
Nothing major, just a dirt road to follow, maybe a mine to stop at and explore...

[vintagetrks]

Were you off of the Senator Highway? It looks like a nice place to explore?

[Locked and Loaded]

I wasn't on Senator Highway. But you can get to Senator highway from there.

Where were you? If you don't mind me asking. I'd like to go check that out looks like a fun place to explore. :thumbsup: Is it in the Az Backroads and 4x4 trails book?
