Testing Ground Arizona

[AKGlobal]

Hello Mud family, new guy here. Recently picked up a beautiful 92' fj80 out of Flagstaff, AZ. After 4 days offroad in the last week I have to say she is running great and in great shape thanks to the previous owner. The current plan is to cross into Mexico on Nov. 18th on my way through to Panama and then to Colombia for next years South America stretch. It really is great to have a wealth of knowledge here, thank you to all of you for that!

Did you go all the way to Crown King? How was the trail?

 

[AKGlobal]

Yes, great trail. Cool bolder chutes off to the side on the way up. Keep your eyes out there are about 7 or so. Best to start at the bottom by Lake Pleasant.

 

[Skrugg]

Oh, I've run it before! Just curious on trail conditions as I'll probably run it this weekend.

We're about a year and a half into doing the same. The 80 will do great. Plenty of parts availability except for a couple countries.
Good ol Crown King. Been running that trail for the last 20 years.
Cheers!

@SOAZtim Thank you for the good news. I will certainly be checking out your blog of your trip. Watched one episode so far. You two do a great job in documenting your experience!
