The teaching was really good and he went over a bunch of different/applicable things: driving in general, how to prevent a roll over, survival stuff, shooting from your vehicle, etc.
The schedule for the class wasn't set in stone, so I really liked that. It allowed for teaching points along the way, so the instructors took opportunities they saw and went with it. I didn't see the pictures he posted yet, but I can assure you he wasn't MIA during the course at all with his lady friend.
I'd recommend looking into it. Some of the stuff was a refresher for me, but I still learned things over the course of the weekend. I've got zero complaints about the class in general and the instructors.

Not bad at all. That's with stock projectors? Makes me reconsider doing a retrofit.

Kissed a tree
Still discovering my new 4runner's limits. Mirror was tucked in, but there was enough contact with the tree to rub the mud off it (but no damage!).
And after wallowing around and getting nowhere doing it myself, I used the N00B button and the thing drove itself out!

Not exactly THIS weekend, but...
Spent a few days at Alexander Springs in Ocala National Forest. We really love that area and all it has to offer:

Remembered I had the slide out cargo tray, made it easier with the 50 pound boxes of tile. Wish I had remembered it 5 boxes earlier.

It was a couple days ago, but I finally installed my lift with the help of my good friend Beertimecontinuum over at Tacomaworld. Sorry for the sketchy pics! More to come when I    start putting my build thread together.

Picked up my new 2016 TE w/KDSS in Flagstaff, Arizona today. Drove a rental car out from L.A. because Flagstaff was the closest place I could find a KDSS-equipped Trail.
Wasted no time breaking the tamper-proof seal -- took it right from the dealer's lot immediately onto some Forest Service roads which included one pretty challenging one. Even gave the front skid plate its first rock scratch!
So far it's exactly*what I was hoping for!
