I got some bumper damage and my skids took a hit or two. I know there was some other bumper damage. Waiting to hear the story on the major one, I only heard bits of it via the radio. Should have some pictures later and in hoping to have some video edited of the hard trails we took tonight.

[MENTION=60694]TheSentinel[/MENTION] thank you sir! You are a gentleman, a scholar and have a big pair for that first section alternate route. Channeling your inner Eazy-E with that 3 wheel motion! [MENTION=128841]Spenny[/MENTION] and [MENTION=117408]Oneluv13T4R[/MENTION] lets go any time. It was an epic run and great to meet everyone!

I was in the group that took all the hard lines at Cleghorn and we had some crazy situations. Can't wait to get a look at this video. If I get a wild hair up my ass (and a beer or three more in my stomach) I might just get it edited tonight.

Someone get this man 3 beers asap! hahah yea cleghorn had some pretty hard lines when we went last time. Definitely needed spotters during one of the downhill parts.

Hands got sweaty and my butt puckered in a bunch of spots haha.

I'm working on the beers. Kid goes to bed in 20 mins so I'll have a chance to sit down and start editing. I'm not even going to lie, after watching the couple guys in front of me 3 wheel it on sections and get REALLY tippy on some downhills, I was nervous as hell. I took the skid plate hits to avoid getting tippy.
 
Here we go. Thank you [MENTION=60694]TheSentinel[/MENTION] for setting up what was yet again an epic run. You have, without a doubt, the best organizational skills for these runs and I have yet to be disappointed by one you have setup. Can't wait to see what the next one is. Thank you [MENTION=117408]Oneluv13T4R[/MENTION] for leading the second easy group. I was willing to step in if needed and I know you wanted to run some of those harder routes. Good seeing you brother, we'll set something up soon. I don't mind running in the desert in the summer, I have AC :eyebrows:. Thanks [MENTION=102715]CrazyNorwegian[/MENTION] for leading us crazy ****ers through those hard routes. Great job with spotting. My damage was my own rookie fault for not really paying attention to you. Thank god for skids, they just paid for themselves. I need to get under the truck and see what I actually did tomorrow.

The daisy-chained 4Runner recovery is quite a story. One of our 2WD brothers found himself stuck in a difficult area and ended up with a broken axle. He had to be pulled out on a challenging 30 degree (at least) incline. One truck aired down in 4Lo locked wasn't budging him, so we added another truck and a recovery strap to the other guy. At one point, it was myself, [MENTION=128841]Spenny[/MENTION], and the inferno TRDPro all linked together to pull out the 2WD. We started moving, but then the weakest strap gave way. I disconnected and Spenny and the inferno pulled the 2WD to safety and down the mountain to 138. Tough, but definitely an accomplishment.
