              Curtis thank you so much for letting me ride with you. Beau I see you and Gerald are running the same bumper... therefore next year you should run the EMC and you have a shot at winning because you are running the same parts

              Nice to finally meet Art, Fred and Beau... great people with greater toys Every time i head out i am learning a little bit more and am gaining confidence as a wheeler.

              Chuck, your new truck is pretty damn sweet and Thank Alicia again for the left over chili... I am happy Laura was not sleeping next to me in my tent though.. I would have blown her out for sure!

              Will post some of my pics later tonight. I need to empty my memory card to make room for more photos.

                      Again thank you guys for a fun weekend. I wish we could have stayed but I got to pay the bills.



                      This was not from one of ours but it looked painful.



                      Got to see a little action before the race.




                      MJR to the rescue again. Ran in to the Trail Gear buggy with a blown power steering cooler. We got him moving again. This was a killer buggy.


                      Fred going for the pass.






                      The damage for the day.


                      The rest

                        ah man, that looks like alot of fun! Such an alien landscape :-D

                        I'd love to go there sometime once my under armor is taken care of!

                        Is 3" suspension lift (and 1.25" body lift) and 35" tires enough to tackle some of these trails without great risk of needing to be trailed home? I don't mind body damage or having to be winched/pulled if necessary. (locked with 4:1 TC by the way)

                          Daniel, look at my thread, Looking for ratings for the hammers. We're set up real similar. I have 4" la lift and 35's, and we talk about what trails we can do. It seems that of the 22ish trails out there we can do 6 or7.
                          It was like that when I got here.

                            I have 4 inch RE shortarm lift currie 4" springs(seem taller to me) , 1.25 inch body on 35" crawlers. Savvy underarmor and tank skid. And I did fine. Had to winch once because I sliped over and got high centered on a rock. Also had to do a littlerock stacking because but nothing to major.
                            I forgot my camera but here are some cell pics that are not too good because figured out later lens was dirty.
