I've been setting up a week long backcountry run in AZ for 17 years straight now. Here's a link to the most recent from back in October.


Should hopefully be in a print magazine in the next couple months.


Enjoy!

Sounds like a cool trip.

Just drove from PHX up to Gunnison, CO the Sunday before Thanksgiving via SR 87. My first time in that area of your state. It's GORGEOUS up there!

Well tell those "tailgaters" praying you do not go up a real steep hill, but know you are there to pull them thru, to take more pics of the ol Ford.

Way cool. Wish this was a little closer to my neck of the woods. Looks like a fun trip.

That was an awesome read with great pics!

How could I get information to dates next year if a trip is being planned again?

If I could make it....you wouldn’t have the only ‘77 Shortbox 4x4 F150!

Thanks!

Been doing these for 17 years now. Have been in the magazines a few times. You saw a Frontier with an exo cage in the article - that's my old truck that I sold to a buddy of mine.


I'm not sure I'm going to do another one for a while. I've invested over 2 weeks a year into this - 1 week for the run and another week or more worth of weekends prerunning everything to find the routes and the camp sites. I do anticipate doing a similar trip to Wyoming this year (where I grew up) but I'll probably be in my Ram for that trip because it has more room and a camper shell on it.


I had organized these runs off my website www.nissan4wheelers.com. After 15 years on that though, I'm in the process of selling that as well since I no longer own / wheel a Nissan.


Will see. If I do another run I'll be sure to post it up here.


That said, if you want a trip to AZ, I have several trail guides with GPS tracks to enable you to run a lot of the routes on your own.

If you do plan one please post it up some time in advance if possible. If we can do a vacation thing we’d go wheeling with you guys and I could also spend some time in Glendale, AZ and visit my aunt. Only see her about once a year. Checked out the link to your other website and checked the pictures out as well there! Thanks for posting!
