Tundras to Sedona - 2024

I can’t confirm nor/or deny that.

 

Dates are confirmed!

February 27 - March 3, 2024

 

On my Calendar

 

This an old picture? Is that Tron?

 

I believe that's Scott, another local but don't think he's on here.

Gotcha. Good to know

similar rear ends I guess with the high clearance and stamp on the tailgate

 

Well, that's a little farther this time but I'm down. So I need to regear, locker, and bumpers by the end of February. Grill said she wanted to come this time after seeing how much fun it was so I should be +1. I just don't have any room for my stuff in the truck anymore. The consequences of my actions are catching up to me....

 

You and your grill get down like that, huh?

 

Can you drop info / coordinates for the base camp?

 

If I put my grill in my truck I wouldn't have room for camping gear either, but big grills need love too.

 

When are you guys doing Tundras to Juarez???

 

Parker is a pretty neat location. When I lived in SoCal I worked with a guy that had a house on the river just north of the Bluewater Casino. We went out there frequently to ride dirt bikes and I even romped on my old pre runner tacoma out there a few times. Feb is a really nice time of year for this spot, weather should be great! The river will be cold so don't plan on swimming. There's also limited public access to the river, it's mostly private in that area. There's literally hundreds of miles of trails to explore and, as noted, you can run the Parker 425 race course if you want to see how fast you can break your truck.

The town of Parker has all the amenities you could need, including repair shops if you get in a jamb. Off roading is huge out there. The community is basically built around that and river activities.

What's the plan for a campsite?

ETA: Looks like there will be a race on 2/24, just prior to the Tundras get together. The race course will be thoroughly torn up from the trophy trucks so folks can get a real taste of what those courses look like if they've never seen or driven one.

 

We’ll be in what’s commonly called The Shea Road Spectator Area.

This google maps link is close, but not the exact spot. Within a half mile or so of this location.

I could imagine a Tundras to Cabo, or Loreto, or even Ensenada. But I’m not sure about Tundras to Juarez. Mostly down to personal experience - anything good to do in Juarez?

Camp will be by the Shea road spectator area.

Yeah, we worked with BLM and scheduled around the 425 in order to avoid land closures. Was gonna schedule it for the weekend of the Super Bowl, but everyone lost their minds when I posted those dates a while back. Haha!

But Desert Bar will be open! Might see if we can talk them into opening on Thursday for us if we can get enough people committed to make it worth them opening the bar just for us.

 

We've got this deal running through the end of the year. $1850 for a Tundra. Shop is in California, but there is a core/ship in old diffs option available.

Put in for vacation for the whole week... What's the scoop on trails in the area?

 

Hey Dave... I have never been there myself. great question.

 

Really need to get my schedule figured out…

 

We are looking for volunteer trail leaders for the Tundras to Sedona, Parker Edition. If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to trails@tundrastosedona.com by Halloween, October 31st. We will then schedule an orientation call the following week with further details.

Thank you for your help!

 

Wish I could make it, but I'm official "out" for 2024. Daughter's 21st birthday is the exact same time, and wife and I have been asked to come along on her birthday trip.

 

Y'all can celebrate her 21st birthday in the desert. I'll buy the first round of shots. Maybe more.

 

I was angling for that, but got shut down. Her good friend is the one scheduling the trip, and I've got no say in where or when.

 

Tell her good friend that there is this AWESOME bar in the desert that is AWESOME to go to. It's an adventure in itself to travel to this desert bar.

 

Def Interested in this... Will be looking at camping options nearby.

 

We went and checked it out a couple weekends ago and it was pretty awesome. Good mix of wide open go fast desert, and tight technical rocky trails. Lots of shale and some cool mines to walk into.

good stuff in Parker! Put on your Trail Leader shirt.

we have a dedicated camp area for the event. You’re welcome to camp elsewhere, but we have an entire section of the area set aside.

 

Which part of the open desert do we get?

 

Maybe I’ll rent a pink Jeep in Vegas and drive down for a day…

 

Sorry, no jeeps allowed.

 

@BillyB was welcomed at the campfire!

 

I don't make the rules, but those first gen guys wont even let you hang out with them if you make a joke about making a joke about having a 5.7, I doubt they'd let a jeep driver participate.

 

Don’t think I’ll find a Tundra to rent in Vegas, but maybe I can find a Toyota of some kind that will get me there…
