Thankfully Marc was the voice of reason, and saved me any more damage.

That being said, I WILL one day conquer Schoolbus.

Rick, School Bus isn't as hard as it looks..But be ready for more body carnage. I think I may try going up next time I go. I've only been down from Helipad. I want to try Slickrock and Peckerwood, I haven't done those yet.

Also you down for all of trail 2? I'm going...I'm trying to get Daniel too.

Not hard but a little sketchy. The 2 trucks that followed me up the 3rd section both solid axle, one with duel lockers needed winching. I would do it again especially if the the trucks I am with have winches also. It sucks bad turning around on that crap and using the winch. I winched twice after a flop and was very impressed with all the yota action.
I wired up an in cab winch switch from a cruiser (boat) windless switch. It has an anchor on it with in and out toggle. I am gonna run a kill switch so I don't activate it while on the road. That forgeting the remote and lifting the hood nonsence will not happen again, I promise.

I don't care what anyone says, but what we all accomplished this past weekend was nothing short of amazing! I would run all those trails again with all the same company. I had a great time guys, and the friendships are great!

Probably 35's, dual lockers and a total disregard for your vehicle. Also spare axles and knowledge of how to fix anything on it. Oh yeah and a winch.

Well ˟˟˟˟˟. I figured the big bawls would make up for the rest. Well I don’t have 35’s and I really like my truck, BUT. I’ve got 2 spare axles now and I can fix just about anything on my rig or a Toyota of that matter. Oh and I don’t have a winch, YET. I’ll probably have a winch before the next run.

2 strikes I’m out. I guess I’ll just be watching for lower 2.

EDIT: 3 strikes - I don't have a front locker.

Had a great time, and thanks Rick and Will for letting me ride the trails in your rigs . It was a a different experience from always driving. Hope to have some pics and short video clips posted by the end of the weekend. Can't wait to do it again, but take my rig on the trails next time.

Hey mike are you interested in a trail rig. I found an 85 in Ill. for $600. It needs a rear brake line... I think I have that covered.
