Final set.









I had a lot of fun when I wasn't white knuckling

Everyone was awesome. Especially our spotter "Senior" that got us through the tough spots and gave me a strap tow over one! Actually I forgot his name already

 

[BrianSD_42]

Awesome. What trails did you hit up? Any hard ones?

Man that looks like it was a blast. I wish I could have gone. My battery was on its way out, so I spent the morning installing a new diehard platinum 31m under the hood. [MENTION=114132]Marcocopuffs[/MENTION] looks like you came pretty close to needing sliders on that one spot. We need to hit that trail again in the spring.

Had a great time today, couldn't ask for better weather conditions and no dust on the trail was great. The spotter was my dad Ken Sr. I was in the Tan 96. I have a lot of go pro pictures I'll post a folder later. Not as good of quality as 2014 Warthog but still some good ones!

Basically we went up and over Gold Mountain. There were three pretty challenging obstacles. Mainly because they were slick with mud making them all kinds of difficult. Then the backside going down in the snow had a couple of hairy uncontrolled moments

But then back down to fawnskin on the main fire road. Took us quite a while to get over. Three of the group weren't able to get over the first obstacle, either due to impending body damage or 4x4 not functional. I had to be dragged across one obstacle after my rear end twisted around on the wet surface trying to get up over it.

May be time for a diff skid plate

Yes definetly a fun trip. I don't think anyone got any damage so always a plus. I didn't take to many pictures but I will post the few I did later. Hopefully we can do it again end of January!!

Big thanx to your pops, he saved us a trip to the parts store!

Yeah man he had a blast, always helps to have a good spotter!

Well nothing leaking

Tomorrow I'll drive one side up my ramps and take a good look.

Nice. That's still with the P-rated Toyo's AT-IIs?

 

[E-ROCKER]

Not the best pictures but this is what I got from the day.

Ha yes There were some sharp rocks on that trail too! Was trying to be extra careful. Mainly I had a clearance problem more than most the others with 33 MTs. Even the MTs were skidding around on those rocks though!

Wish I had caught this thread. Going up this weekend to get in some much needed wheeling.

Clips are up, had one hell of a time if I didn't say so already! Got some dash cam stuff to but it's lengthy I'll try to edit it soon.
