Exploring & Wheeling
I finally made it out for a quick overnight exploring trip. Not strictly wheeling, but checking stuff out. I went with my cousin who has a 99’ Tacoma 4x4 with rear locking diff. We had some fun and the pics below will show that. Nothing hardcore, but some good pictures nonetheless. He has a sweet Nikon DSLR camera! Toyota drivers are good for something! There are over 700 pictures. I'll post up some cool ones and more Ranger content.... rest are here... Picasa Web Albums - Jason - Bloody Basin ...
Airing Down (his check engine light came on right before we hit the dirt lol)
Elk burgers for dinner! I found that old rim and it worked good for my griddle.
Target shooting...
Flying Brass....
Wheeling.....
Too deep to cross so we pose....
Full gas tank Ranger lean.....kinda....
Up travel.....get some....
Best outhouse ever!!
Critter....
Best pic of all.....

Factory electronic locker. That truck got a little banged up underneath but still kicked ***. I remember the same always happened with my truck when it was stock height. Driving along and all of the sudden you hear a bang from bottoming out, a big rock or something.

Close. It is the Ruger LCP, looks very similiar to the Kel-Tec.
15x8 on 35x12.5x15
I really like how it sits. I always go back and forth about it. Should it go up 2 inches or stay where it is at? I'll keep it where it is at until I have a reason to raise it a little, which may never come.

I agree, don't raise it unless you're having ride quality issues, it looks awesome!
How are the shocks? I would think you could benefit from some higher end shocks out there in the desert. Arizona has always looked like it would be a cool state to explore in a 4x4 for a few days (weeks?).
Oh and it hardly looks like you guys aired down at all!

If I could I'd spend weeks exploring the desert as there is so much history out here with ghost towns, mining, and indian ruins. Plus the amazing scenery is a bonus!
