Just got back from EC4RJ!!

wow .. what a great park .. if you have not been to paragon .. this place is a definite must see.

I couldn't do the whole weekend, so basically I left early this morning and just got back in. apperantly yesterday someone rolled their 4runner, another runner took out his rear quarter panel window, a taco screwed up is 4wd system, a lot of people with body damage. It was awesome.

I did blue 3's, and some black ones today. Truck handled beutifully ... I did have some damage. the rear bumper flexed up into the quarter panel and damaged that. I tore a side wall on one of my MT/Rs. It still holds air though. I lost one of those little panels that goes under the headlight. Both skid plates are toast. I think I blew a seal in the air locker, b/c there is air hissing out of the extended diff breather. the locker still engaged though. I did something to my4wd system .. b/c now the VSC trac light doesn't come on when I put it in 4lo.

all in all a good run ... don't have too many pics .. jasonB was riding with me, so hopefully he will post his up. everyone else is still there and have many pics and videos .... it was a great run.

There is some pics posted on the ttora-va forum. I haven't checked 4x4 wire yet.

I want to know why there weren't more yotatech guys there. I was hoping to see a few of you .... and they call me the web wheeler.

How about those links to those sites so those of us that don't frequent them much can easily find the threads?

I went last year and had a great time despite the flooding of the campgrounds . I have a newborn so had to stay home this year. Glad you had fun.

Jason, are you going to Fall Colors again? See ya there

Carnage was pretty much confined to the groups running the harder trails (naturally). For those of us with less modified rigs running the greens and lower blues, we only had minor damage: a tree left a little souvenier in the side of a black extended cab pickup; and a turbocharged 3rd gen 4Runner blew out the spider gears in his front diff while climbing out of deep rut.

This was my first year and I can't wait to go back with some mods that will get me off the "bunny trails".

It was great meeting new people, the weather was awesome and I won a prize at the raffle!
