Hey all, I joined this site several months ago to get more info and an education before I took the plunge. Happy to say that I am now the proud owner of a 2004 Astro AWD. I look forward to sharing my future outings and my future frustrations with you. Anytime you want to visit Sedona your welcome.. Just bring your tools!

Sedona??!! Aw man, I'd love to go back there! That is some beautiful county out there. Tell me something, I went out there in 1992, before I had even heard of the place. My dad, who lived in Phoenix, called it a "local secret" some of the most beautiful country, that no one else knew existed.. Well, a couple years later and everywhere I go it seems people are talking about the place.. has it "grown up and out"? or is it the same old quaint place I remember?

Anyways..Glad you found us, there's a great bunch of folks on here.. I've honestly not found a more friendlier, helpful forum yet. Everyone's family here and will treat you likewise. Welcome!

Thanks for all of the welcomes. I plan on getting some pictures on soon. It came with a, I assume custom, push bar style bumper that looks a bit over kill. So I suppose I will have to go with a lift and some bigger tires just to make the bumper look better. Right now it looks like a family van with a train front end. I guess the deer and elk are shacking in their hooves when they see me coming.
Astronut- Sedona is mostly state park land so we havent had the sprawl and the locals are holding on to keep it a small town. It is not a secret anymore so the tourist season almost doubles the population.
