Nice, looks like it was a good time. The pin stripping just adds character.

Was definitely a ton of fun. I will try to post up some pics others took of the more technical sections since I was either spotting of driving and took zero pics of them.

Those actually look a lot worse than they are. About 90% of those are just scratching through the dust of the surface. The ones that do not come off in the car wash will usually come off with some effort and scratch out. The worse they are the more effort it takes to get them out, but it won't be too bad after an afternoons work.

That looks like alotta fun! one question though. weren't y'all worried about damaging the body on those rocks? I guess being careful and all but I only go mudding and thats the extent of my off-roading.

I shoot a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC H5, nothing too crazy like some of the other guys on the forum, just a basic point and shoot camera. I got my dust light from Off Road Warehouse

Hitting rocks is definitely something you need to look out for. I know my truck definitely has some pretty good size scrapes/nicks on the bumpers, and if you look at the GX in the pics, you can see his driverside bumper is dented in from a previous run.

Most of our day was spent on the high speed runs though, and we only did some playing in the rocks.
