I love how it seems that everyone that HASN'T lived in AZ before thinks that the entire state is nothing but one giant desert. Weird.

[QUOTE=StealthyMcStealth;3455794]I know you were asking RocketMouse but I saw where you are from and it made me think of a quote from one of my favorite movies... "Cowboys? I had a run-in with a couple of them up in Prescott."[/QUOTE
So many movies filmed here.....I worked in special effects on one movie. Dropping a stuntman and a star off a cliff in a CJ7.

Anyone in the central AZ area; the monthly Cleator jeep run is this saturday, meet at the Turkey Creek trailhead at 10 AM, just south of Bumble Bee Ranch. Up from the valley take the Bumble Bee exit off 17. We don't always do the Turkey creek/101 trail. Lots of fun, all runs end at the Saloon at Cleator Bar and Yacht club. live music at 1pm this weeks vittles is pot luck (bring your own if you want). Valley folks can continue on up to Crown King, about 13 miles up from CB&YC, then down to Pleasant, or back by dirt road to 17. I'm in the blue XJ.

I think if I pretended I was 18 again in my XJ right now.. something would definitely break... Murphy likes to follow me around. lol.
Honestly think I'm just still getting a real "feel" for the true condition of my XJ. I've done a lot... I mean a lot of maintenance on her since I got her in Nov. The PO was a complete idiot.
I'd need a page single spaced for everything I've done thus far. No joke.
At this point, I'm starting to feel pretty comfortable with the reliability for in-town type stuff. I've always taken really good care of my vehicles so any leaks, worn parts, sounds that could indicate issues do NOT sit well with me. I think especially since this is my DD, and not just a WW vehicle.
That's why I want to start out on mild trails that aren't going to stress her too much until I get a good sense of capability and condition for it.

I think it's the Flag, the License Plates, and the old westerns where everyone in Az is always dying of thirst or fighting over water... lol

I lived here a few years before I learned of the Mogollon Rim. Now I love camping up there (only two hours away) but it still amazes me how many people that live here have never been there.

You are going to think I'm crazy, but have you had anything strange happen when you were up there? Lol
