I didn't take any

But, I just got 90 from Donna and Fred shipped me a CD with 700mb of photos and video today

I am hoping to get some up on the site later tonight... How are these for some teasers?

hahahhah Yep, when you did a "one legger" in that stuff you got your fly wet Some of the drifts were approaching five feet deep

The Jeep and the SAS Toyota both garnered much respect from everyone on the run. They cleared the trail for us for most of the day and did a damn fine job of it.

The red '94 with the rack belongs to "Romeo". It's quite the sweet set up he has going there. It did pretty well in the snow too.

Thanks for the compliment Bud!

BajaTaco,
The red one with the roof rack is mine. Glad you like it. It needs an altitude adjustment if you know what I mean... as well as some really low gears... but like everyone's rig, mine is a work in progress.

Hey seafarinman,
Not sure if you remember me. I have a couple of pics of your rig coming down that 3foot drop at Tahuya.

Didn't notice it was you till I saw your rig in the Tonga Ridge pics. Im sure your sliders will be able handle that hit next time.
Looks like Jeff (BadLand Bumpers) did a great job on your sliders/bumpers.

smr4runner,
I was wondering whether or not the pics of my Smitty-Crunching drop off would ever surface. Thanks for posting them. Yeah, it was a real mess out there on Saturday. The last time that I got stuck I thought that I was a goner. It wasn't easy, but Pops XJ yanked me back from the edge of a scary cliff right when night was falling. It was a great experience, but I want more ground clearance, and especially lower gears and lockers before I try this again.:eek:
