It was a pleasure to meet, run, and just hang out after hours with you all.
@ Jon, thanks for the day before pre trip in there. On top of common sense, just following you line of travel just help me moved up from the noob position, THX.
And will definitely know, when having trouble in them harder spots, just PUTTING THE HAMMER DOWN. LOL, but, it worked.
With my t4r being the lowest, definitely have some CARNAGE.

Took awhile to down load, took a lot of them along with others that will be posting.
Going through the " GOALPOST " on Friday- up hill.
Having to learn- PUTTING THE HAMMER DOWN. Done.
Saturday at the switch back, Jon no problem and I had to find the right grove, another just putting the hammer down, Sam catching my rocks as I was throwing them at him.
Sam, just rolling through hamming down.
Well, Rob and Chris just couldn't get the right grove to go on. Needed to hit the right spot.
Will be posting more, to many too go through.

Most definitely, I'd hate to see what damages that would have happen if I didn't have them. Took some major hits under there and the aluminum part did better than the steel area.
When I get ramped up, I'll take a photo shoot. Let's just say, my muffler was the only spot that didn't get banged up.
I thought I'd give a post run report
After hours of traffic trying to get through I80 I met up with Sam (4rnnerfan) and we rallied up through Truckee and went up 89 to meet 49 around the north side to avoid the turns. When we arrived at Gold Lake, there was a raging campfire visible across the lake. We knew it was the one. With our tires aired down and 4wd engaged, we made a night trail run around the lake to get to camp.
The next morning we started our run to Snake Lake.
Tight switchbacks
We stopped for a great view down to Gold Lake. Just a little more climbing until we descend to Snake Lake.
Continuing up
Starting the descent through the goalposts. Sam navigating here
What we just came down
Snake Lake is on the right. Still a bit to go
Rob picking lines
Leonard rolled a bead.. we tried jacking here but it was to steep. Once we descended a little more an air compressor did the job.
Rob gettin the flex on
Climbing out
Little rock obstacle. Steeper than it looks
I am glad I installed rock sliders the night before - they really paid for themselves this trip. Thanks for the great food and good times. Can't wait for the next run

Carnage report
This is why you need armor. And I need more.
Bent the 2 ends on the engine skid
Wonder what would have happen if I didn't put that support bar on.
Bent my plate upward in the middle.

More carnage
That one got bent.
And out of all non covered areas, muffler survived.
And the rim survived rolling down the slop without a tire aired up.
The bumper love tapped a bolder and saved the fender, YAH.

Ouch
Dad, more armor PLEASE.
What you guys mean these aren't sliders, looks like they did there job to me.
We save the side just like the bumper did on that bolder.
Almost steer it away from damage without a aired up tire in the front.
