Well, I just bought some sweet Konig Reasons 15" & kept the stock Goodyear tires.
I live in Sierra Vista, AZ which is about 30 mins north of the Mexico border and about 15mins west of Tombstone. I took a drive into the area called Ramsey Canyon. Here are some pics, links will take you to the larger image.
It's been monsoon-ing nonstop down here, so everything is greener than usual, actually, greener than ever. Enjoy

Oh yeah, ignore that sign on the tree.

 

looks good

 

Looking good. Nice clean box you have. Like the wheels to.


<--native Arizonian, home sick.

 

Nice box and great pics!

 

nice pics!

i always thought that Arizona is a hot dusty desert. damn i am wrong...

 

same here.

scenery looks nice, and so does your box.

 

Nice pics for a nice clean ride...BTW, I'm a native Arizonian, not many of us left anymore.....

 

Its only some parts of AZ that are desert. Most of it is covered in forest & nice areas. The only thing is, those nice areas still reach about 100 in the summer time. Flagstaff aint to hot & gets a good deal of snow each year. Great place to ski & get some good pics to.

 

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments everyone. If you really want, all I have to do is drive 30 minutes in any other direction and I can photograph all the sand desert you want!

Seriously tho, Southern Arizona has seen a LOT of rain this year. It's the only thing thats making me hold off on a Cold Air Intake. Roads gather 1-2" of water in a matter of minutes, which I think would totally soak the filter. Then again the water is gone like 30 mins later! Ahh AZ....

I'm thinking I'll be doing some photo-shoots in some of the more interesting places down here, I've been envious of other forum pictures of Scions and cool urban environments. Tallest building around here is only 4 stories high. We just kind of end up spreading out flat.

OK a couple more pics.

When I visited my buddy in Patagonia, Az., he advised me that "Arizona White" is the only way to go. WOW, you helped me decide on the PW. I'm in Florida now and miss the Western vistas. Moved from Wyoming, Indian for land of many valleys. Ready to order my '06 PW xb today!!!

& you even have a Camo. Dang that really does make me fill home sick. Im from the Prescott area, so I got to see snow a few times each year. Now Im in a part of FL, when the last time it snowed was in the 80's
