Great pics once again Tim. 
I have not run Sunflower with the water levels so high. Sure looks like it was a ton of fun. Do you think the entire loop is makeable, or just to much water?
Really like your "fog" pics. Looked like you guys were recreating one of the Lord of the Rings movies.

I knew I was recreating something, just not what.
It was fun, but there were some drops and bumps under the water that took about a gallon more away from my gas tank. DOH! The Land Rover took some serious abuse and some plastic is now missing.
I saw a guy named seth heading in as we went out. He said it was passable, but was redicuously scary. Lots of wash outs and getting stuck. Sounds like a trail for us.
(oh yah. I am now officially an idiot again, financially, I think I may have just ordered some expensive treats for the runner... oh my...
)

Not that damage is good, but glad to hear you are messing things up when I am nowhere near around. I was starting to get a complex with our recent run to damage history.
When I get some gas money, and the rains calm a bit... I have a route scoped from Shea and 87 all the way up to Sunflower. I believe it's 100% dirt. I also believe it's 100% passable... but I have been wrong before.

A locker... WTH? After all the runs we have done I have only had to give you one mini tug, and that was most likely because your rear diff was on the way out. If you add any mods to your vehicle, you are going to have to start leading and I really don't want my SAS 4Runner to get tugged out by your "stock" ride.
You would have been better off with just getting the air freshener and making a sizable donation to the "Elvota Empty Tank" fund.
So, elaborate please. Ratios and locker type? When will they be in? When will I get a chance to damage them??

4.88, arb locker, compact compressor, I just hope they get in soon Racer Offroad is busy building real race trucks so I hope they get the parts in and work on my little vehicle soon. Maybe a week and a half though... DOH. Want to pull a front and rear diff?!

What kind of help are you looking for? Advice and supervision can be found pretty easily. Asking for a garage full of tools and someone willing to lend a hand might take a bit more effort.
So, you need someone to answer some questions... or turn the wrenches?
