Another day on the AZ granite

[Offroader5]

Here's the second outing for this rig. Last time out I broke the chassis and the servo horn...this time out, it came back unscathed. I did get a good roll on film this time though

The first song has a couple of swear words in it in two spots...so I guess we'll call it NWS

nice location where in AZ is it?

[Offroader5]

About 10 miles southeast of Florence. It's the only area out there in the middle of the desert with these huge granite boulders.

Yeah, I suppose it does. It is a very high traction rock though...so I need to give the rock credit too :-P It will climb even steeper grades when I get the limiting strap servo installed on the front axle to keep the nose down

Looks like fun man - I havn't been down there in a couple of years. No rock like that around here, I just have these to play with...

Was just going to say..."hey that's Payette"

Was just out there a couple of weeks ago with the FJ Trail Team and Copper State Cruisers

Offroader5 - is that area south of Freeman Rd?

[Offroader5]

I believe there's a Freeman road out there...if you know the area, it's out off of the Florence-Kelvin hwy at the road to Cochran.

[2JSC]

Ok - thats farther east then.

Nice Vid

[Erin]

Is this the area just west/ a bit north of that intersection? Meaning towards Florence itself.

[Offroader5]

Here is where it's at:

Thanks for the map, I'm gonna have to check that out, only about a 45 min from my house. I thought it was the western side due to my map not showing much terrain on that side. If you ever want a tag along, let me know, most of my wekends are free.

The pushpin on the map is off just a bit, but when you turn onto Cochran road just look east and you'll see all the boulders. There's probably bout 10-20 acres of boulders out there in the middle of nowhere, It's a beautiful area too.

Well, when your out there...it's fairly obvious where the boulders are since it's mostly flat everywhere around them....but because your being so analytical about it This is exactly where I crawl at:
