Got the 4Runner a lil dirty plus a few pinstripes. Scraped some paint off the sides of my new Shrockworks Rock Sliders. Had to knock the newness off this rig!

Aftermath:


Couple pics from some easier trails:

I'm in for next year. Had a blast.

Drobs glad you had fun. Was nice to meet you! Sorry it was at the end of the event but next year we will hit up some trails together. They changed the 2020 date from Halloween to Oct 15-18. When registration comes up I will put up another post for 2020.

Those who couldn't make it this year should really try for next year! Its a great time, good environment and lots of nice places to ride! Last year they gave away 23,000 in prizes and this year was 40,000. Last year was 300+ rigs this year 400+ rigs! So come join the fun!

just saw this one - brahahahahaha

I spent a couple hours chatting with the guys from West Plains, Missouri (Ozark Overland Outfitters - Offroad Parts, Fabrication and Mechanic) that had the Unimog ($30k if you want to buy it) and 3 Land Cruisers. Seems they are importing rooftop tents and overlander gear from South Africa plus had a couple guys from SA there with them. They also rebuild / outfit Land Cruisers and other Toyotas.

Spent some time talking guns and Toyota's with the owner's Dad. We noticed pretty much everyone there (myself included) were packing pistols. Everytime someone got up to collect their raffle prize, their holsters were poking out from under their shirts.

He was packing a nice stainless Ruger Blackhawk flat top revolver in 44 Special. I carried my Sig P365 the whole weekend.

Next time I find myself in West Plains - I plan to stop in for a visit.

Things that go boom are a big interest to me and ammo! He packs a 38 special under his beard and I pack a full size 357 under my beard! Nothing better then 4runners, guns, and beer!

and.... they gave a ruger mk4 as a door prize!!!! THAT was pretty dang cool!

Pretty sure we were on this exact trail on Saturday but going the other way. At 1:14 we stacked rocks to avoid that boulder sticking into the trail. 2:33 we took a short cut around that section. Lastly at 3:09 I had gravity on my side coming from the other direction and went right though that mud hole.
