Woodpecker/Ajax, AZ

Rocksurfer · September 30, 2007, 09:22:14 PM

Since my club is coming out next weekend and a little pursuation by bmxicanrivera I took a scouting trip out to Florence junction and checked out the area. We did a portion of Woodpecker and played around in the Ajax area Woodpecker is as I remember it from a trip there many years ago, in fact the rock I high-centered on was still there taunting me, I drove around it this time. It is a very cool area and may just become a regular for me. Here's some pictures of the run.

We hit the first section of Woodpecker, I was really surprised at how well my truck was doing since it is an IFS but for the most part I had no problems climbing anything. I did have an issue with a very big rock, it didn't stop me but it sure gave my rocker panel a good whack.

Hey don't knock it if it works, just ask those that were there, put that little truck in places an open truck with 2 straight axles would have (did) had trouble getting through let alone one that is an IFS.

That thing really IS an OPTICAL ILLUSION! It outperformed my truck. Solid axles and 35's didn't help at all. It was a fun day, and here is a few more pics.

Poser U-turn

I won't deny that, I am still a "Noob" in comparison to RS, and still need more time behind the wheel. Oh well, we will have to see how it does next weekend when I drop in my new Lincoln locker.

did you get a chance to lock it in

Rocksurfer · October 07, 2007, 04:15:21 PM

Just got back, we had a blast. Tice's rig is awsome, Scott's too, we had a pretty good size group. We're going out to dinner now and I'll start a thread on the run later. I got some great pictures and will post them up too.

Here's a teaser picture for your viewing pleasure, there is lots more.......
