Default Any AZ jeepers wheel during the week?

Curious if anyone in AZ wheels during the week at all? I have a crazy schedule working 12's and work the opposite days every week. So one week I work M/T Fri/Sat/Sun and the next week i'd work Wed/Thu ... rinse and repeat.

I work retail, so I am usually off during the week.

Do like Zoose say's and post up if your interested in a trail ride.

We can break you in at the Coves by Saguaro Lake, teach you the basics of off-roading and how your Rubicon and all of the electronic goodies work.

Take the advice above and do this one. You have to 'learn' your Jeep first, if you haven't already. If you have, then the trail is a fun one regardless

anyway i was in a parking lot, (fry's 67th ave and bell), and some 19 year old girl talking on here cell was doing a u-turn and ended up on the wrong side of the road doing 35. i was doing 15-20 and she hit me head on. i flew 35 feet over her ford ranger lol.

I broke my sternum, 2 bones in my right ankle, my left femur, left tibia, and shattered my left fibia. and almost severed my right thumb off.

i had to have a rod put in my fib, and it was about 5 months ago. its still not done growning back so it hurts still.

but lowes said i had 2 weeks to recover and if i couldnt be back they would let me go. so yea thats pretty much it. lol
