Yep, 7:30 AM! Be ready to go too, the others will be waiting for us up at Hollister at 10am, they said they would wait until 10:30 for us if we were running late.

As in tomorrow!?!?! Bring them on down! We're doing a small wrench-a-thon on my truck tomorrow night to figure out what's going on with my rear suspension. We'll slap on your coilovers at the same time. We may not get to the shackles, but you can run without them for however long you want, it doesn't hurt your truck any. You'll appreciate the coilovers on the trails on Sunday.

Well, it was a great trip (for me that is.. I dont think I broke anything new, my window regulator gave up on me before... ), Aster enjoyed it very much!! I'll post some pics she took tonight. I learned alot from this trip I'll let the guys tell you what happened to their rigs

Oh, I know why it took us soo much gas to get back!! I was playing with my gps last night and checked the vertical profile, guess what, the elevation from salinas to the cuesta grade goes up slowly

Ok, Russell no longer has any fog lights, those got pounded before we even got to the obstacle course! he also took a chunk out of the sidewall of one tire. It still held air, but wasn't really safe to drive on, so we swapped out his spare. And as for his skid plate.... well, I think the pics need to speak for themselves. That was the funniest carnage I've seen in a while.
As for me, all I got was some rock rash on the tupperware on my front bumper. And I added about 30 lbs of mud to my truck in various locations, but mostly to the sides and suspension. The new Firestone Destination MT's are AWESOME! Those things went through some nasty mud like nothing! I am totally sold on those tires now.

I haven't even attempted to wash my truck yet.... I'm afraid to! I put my sway bar back on this morning and noticed I have about as much mud under my truck as yours did after the "skid plate incident." It's gonna take me a full day to get it all off. I stayed home today, but don't really feel like doing it today, I need to study for my test tonite.

Do you have fond memories of that mud hole Russ?
I like this one http://community.webshots.com/photo/...24290278dSBoxs it's the last time my truck was semi-clean before the trip home. I think this was taken moments before your friend got nailed with mud from my tires too! Hehe

Russ, you need to change your sig now too, you don't have fog lights anymore! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Saw your truck out at Hancock on my way home from work. I looked for you on the soccer field but didn't see you anywhere.

Brad.... There was a total of 318 pictures taken that day... but.... I should have switched the shooting drive to single instead of keeping it at continuous so.. what this means is.. Aster just kept clicking most of the pics are the same, the pics I posted were the ones I found important after going through all 318. If you want I can bring you the originals

You pass by Hancock from work?! How many stores do you guys have?! I ran to the levy from Hancock today... tired
