Those are the ones I recommend. I had to Oasis brand, but gave them away in favor of the Staun.

I don't know why I didn't center it. Yes indeed it looks mighty familiar. Next is the bigger rock pile before that one, you know the one, the one you eyeball everytime we've been there.

I have actually been up both lines on that rock wall on non-chapter events. It looks even worse from the drivers seat than it does from the ground. I might do it again, but I want to see someone else go up it so I can see it from the outside and decide it if it's even half as nasty as it feels from inside

That thing will be about the limit of my "hardcore" in this truck... at least until I bite the bullet and start removing/caging body panels.

I'll go up it - in your truck that is.

If you saw what we are talking about, you might not be so eager... I will take some pictures next time I am there.

Let me just tell you that one day, I'll be there.

Could be today, could be tomorrow, but I have always wanted to visit WA for it's off-road attractions (not that AZ doesn't have any but I am more a forest guy than a rock guy) and one day, I'll make it.

I got a few new shots just in from MidiWall Thanks Mark!

Here's a fun one of partial extension of my front axle, with a bit of stuff in the rear.

Excellent C'mon up, we will keep a light on for you

Here's another of the mud pit stuck. You can see the 'runner, stuck, my winch cable going to him, then a strap from me to another rig to keep him from pulling me in. He was THAT stuck

I have 31 more coming to that one link courtesy of my Right Seat (Shannon/FunRunner).

I have the pics cropped and uploaded, but I've only done a rough pass at organizing them. Work's more than casually loaded up today, but I'll have it together in a few hours. I'll post here when I do.

Ditto on the Staun's. They're great. Repeatable accuracy, and don't require more than 1psi difference to start.

Probably not, it's a monster of a rock, but at least we can give it some scale for those who have not stood there and felt it's call. I have a good, healthy respect for that thing. When I went up it, I must have had ten guys standing by to apply weight to my sliders and I still felt like I was climbing a vertical face and was about to find out that gravity is more than just a "theory".

Great pics Mark, is that just your collection or FunRunners also? I didnt even know you got many pics. You were offroading like a pro and keeping her screamin good. lol Fun fun day, cant wait til the next one. That was the most confusing part for me having two Bens on the run. Every time I heard "Ben" on the CB I wanted to reply. I guess when I bring my rig over you will just have to call me blue. Anyone see my roadtrip plans for Spokane & Moses Lake on the Trip Planning section yet? Trying to get a group to go. Ben errrr blue

!

The top section are my pics, the bottom section is all Shannon's (FunRunner) work.

I used to be better about getting a lot of pics, but I've slacked off - Shannon's doing a great job at making up the difference and then some!


I've heard about the Moses Lake run this month, but my April is pretty full.

Your ski breaking is the Offroading Gods punishing you for not going to Reiters.
