I guess I was having too much fun to take more pics, but here is the few I havepics

My brothers video camera was really out of power, so I only got a few minutes of footage. It's at a pretty cool spot where the rear completely droops as the front goes in a huge rut and then stuffs the rear and climbs out of the rut. I think it's where we got pictures of Scotts 33's stuffed.
Oh well we'll just have to go again soon.

Nice Photos guys,
that hill looks intimidating.

Scott: nice flex shots.

lol: must be nice to wheel every weekend.
it sucks to be in Orange County, it takes at least a 2 hour drive to find a place to wheel.

That sounds like a good enough reason to go again.
Actually, I think the batteries went out on it, it didn't show a display for the last couple of miles, and I forgot all about it.
I think some more locals need to check this trail out, you'll definitely be hooked.

Look what TDS is putting on--

Lawsons Peak is Pancake rock from what I have seen on the map.

That could be fun with the right lights--Scott.

You should never follow right behind someone like that.

Don't take this as a flame please, I just wanted to point this out as what not to do.

Cool pics though!

don't worry, rob's a professional when it comes to unsafe driving...take a look at his avatar where he is dangling the left side off a cliff.

just kidding rob, couldn't resist

lance: you gonna make it to the anza borrego trip we are planning? you should come. someone posted on that thread wondering if "See if you can get that guy with the 2003 4Runner to come out as well, I want to see that thing in action".
looks like you are obligated to go. would you have that lift on by then?

Yeah I've been tracking that Anza trip that you're planning. I'd love to join ya but at the current moment my schedule's abit messed up so I'm gonna have to see.

Looks like I must go huh! hehe.... Lift is still pending. I'm waiting for Downey for final installation etc etc... I'd love to have it ready soon so I can test it out and look bad like you!

Actually, I'm pretty sure Marc was parked already and I was going to park behind him. We had just gotten past a challenging spot and I think Scott was next.

*OR*

Don't question a professional.
