Damn that's a nice looking red Tacoma! Where's the rest of the pics??? I know you took WAAAAAAAAY more than that! Any action shots of Milton rolling? hehe... Sucks about that, but at least it's still drivable. I told him I'd help bang out his roof if he needed it.

I'll post pictures and video later. Next time we need to agree on a CB or FRS channel. I completely lost you guys with the poker run. It was Toyota's all over the place, but I couldn't catch up with you guys. Chris did very well with his stock FJ60. Will post later.

Looks like you guys had fun. WHat happened to Milton? SOunds like he ran into trouble at night??

Unhappy

The night run was pretty fun actually... until I rolled my truck... It was a slow roll and rolled only 2 times so it wasnt that bad (it could have been worse if the dune was steeper), landed right on the tires too (we put new Bilsteins on that morning, if I still had my Ranchos which were all shot it might have just kept bouncing)! Runs fine other than some cosmetic stuff like: windshield cracked, both fenders crushed, top is caved in, one of the rear windows is gone.....

Brad, James came over to pick up his grill and we notice why my doors werent closing all the way: the sides are bent, the WHOLE side is bent out..

Wish the roll was just a nightmare, other than that I had a great time! I'll post pics later if I have time.

FirstToy...hey are over at 4wdtrips too? I thought I saw pics of your 4runner with a cargo system in the back.

That was too bad about Milton, and his 4runner. I don't know if he was in shock or what, but he had a really positive attitude about the whole incident. I am just glad he got out uninjured. Did he make it home o.k.?

Pismo was fun, great to meet all you guys!!!

Oh Milt is just being dramatic. It's nothing a little factory touch up paint won't fix. Most of it will rub right out. Someone give Milt a bottle of Griots and he'll be solid.

Milton,

This was a great event, loved going out on the night run, to bad about Miltons, rolling his runner. Like any other Toyota it started right up after he stopped bouncing.

Heres a couple of my pics

There were runs to Big Falls, Garcia Ridge and Pozo. I heard Pozo was fun because the recent rain made it nice and muddy.

I didn't get a chance to go tho- too much other stuff to do! Wow, 2-3 days is just not enough for this much fun! (Other people have links to trail run pics somewhere)
