thank you, mark!

ok, a bit on the pics:
-if photobucket isn't posting it, i didn't post it. the pic is either a duplicate or poor quality
-the only damage i got was the steering column "shell" from me hitting my knee on it
-proof that i do go off-road

and some more pics:

Good pics guys. I was wondering why some of Ian's weren't showing up. Oh yeah I am home safe. Some minor issues will explain later, nothing to prevent me from driving home though. Just checking in right now and uploading my stuff.

some things i learned this weekend:
-spotters are your best friends
-rocks come out of nowhere
-air down
-know thy rig

and for off-roading, i need bigger tires, and my locker will help.

brandon- where's your pics?

Here are some of the pics on my camera. Some of them aren't the best. My buddy that went with me decided to take pictures of parts of the vehicle and not the entire rig.

Videos in next post. I'll post more that I get from my other friends that went. I hope they got some better ones.








Video of xxxtreme22r "finessing" his way through here in next post.



Broken Steering rack was the result. My friend has a video of me going up this hill. I need to have it sent to me. I heard I got the front end off the ground.






















His tire was further off the ground than this one. I was trying to tell him to hold it for a chance at a calender photo...lol







More to come as I get them from friends. I have my one friends camera that he forgot in my truck so I'm going to see what he's got and upload them next.

vids will come later.

Loaded and ready to go.




Arrived ready to set up camp.



irab88 showed up shortly after I setup




yotaluver was next. And that was it for the campers. Sinkhound came in the morning.





Cool FJ.




Proof that 37 12.50's CAN fit on an IFS LOCKED (ARB front Detroit rear) with just BJ spacers and custom leak pack including leafs and entire rear Taco axle.






He's also got a pretty trick shackle "hanger" set up. I forget what he called it by name but I have seen this done one other time once before. It's hard to tell in the photo but what your looking at is the rear section of a cut leaf spring that is attached to the frame via a u-bolt being used as the hanger. When the shackle droops out the cut leaf spring extends further allowing even more droop. Similar to a double shackle setup but less likely to invert the shackle.




Anyone remember this truck from the parking lot at the BoonDockers mud bog I posted? Yup he actually wheels it.




Rodge and 88 Beater's rig. Beater had some sort of injector failure/leakage which he was unable to fix shortening his wheeling on Saturday.





RightCoast4x4 group. Sorry I missed ya yotafrankie. I was busy Sunday morning to walk around. To be later explained.




The whole right side of the paring/camping area all the way back to us was filled with Yotas. The J**p's were shoved to the back all by themselves Saturday evening. lol.




Another Yotatech Group photo.

onto the wheeling photos from Saturday.




























Proof that a rear locker won't take you everywhere. Bad choice in line resulted in stuck in the mud. I had to tug on him a tad to get yotaluver out. Not my first tug of the weekend though. Stay tuned.




End of the day group photo.






Somehow irab88 managed to stay clean??
