Bertha's Maiden Voyage - Sycamore Creek, AZ (1 Viewer)

[GrantM]

Took Bertha out for her first run on a trail. Aired down to 18 pounds and took off. Very impressed with the suspension even over the kings that were on my 4runner. Rides great on the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 35's. Did a little flexing but nothing that pushed the limits to much. Got into 4 low a couple times and used the camera system. Its to much fun. Very happy with may over priced mall runner,

Nice, I love Sycamore Creek. Where are you accessing the creek? I assume off the Beeline Highway but which turn-off?

Hey Bluegill, We started at the Keyhole Staging area right of the beeline highway and bush highway exit.

Nice - every time I've gone down to Sycamore from that exit the creek has been bone dry. I just got back from another Sycamore access road a few miles farther north up the Beeline and there was plenty of water.

Nice! Which lift kit are you running?

I'm so envious of the trails you guys have over in the states... I wish I could take my GX there

Its a 1.5" SST Readylift kit. I'm going to replace it with the Wescott Preload Collar Kit. Everyone thinks the desert is bland and desolate but its actually very beautiful.

Awesome, I have the westcott kit on mine, I would say it's 15%-20% more firm/rigid than stock.. I've heard the SST kit is much better. I'm looking to do a spring and shock combo soon as the westcott kit just isn't comfortable enough for me and is annoyingly bumpy when going off-road. They look great but I think they are just good for cruising around town tbh...
