Possibly the cutest wheeling pic ever.

And once again to offset your sunny skies and shorts-wearing weather I was out with some friends on Sunday. It was snowing and around -20C. This is from when we stopped to bbq some burgers.

A few shots of me and my rig on a training exercise with the SDSO Search and Rescue Team. Ocotillo Wells, CA. (Before my rack and a couple other goodies :) )

Love it man!

Wish I had some spotters so I could get into some thicker trails. My wife would lead me into the rocks :hiding:

Thanks bro! That was my first experience with spotters and we were lucky enough to have a cuople guys (pictured) with some pretty extensive wheeling experience. It help a TON!!

My wife "spotted" me while trying to get our camper turned around in a very tight boondock site. She was so good that I ran over a $250 Pelican Storm case before she looked up from her phone and realized that it was there. I can only imagine if I relied on her for anything else :lookout:
 
Went out to Hollister OHV to hang out with the toyota120 guys and had a blast. This was the trucks maiden voyage with the new Icon stage 5 kit and 18" Duratrac setup. Long story short, the truck killed it out there. Good times!

Thanks to Steve, Liqudus of toyota120, for the awesome pics.

These pics do a pretty good job at capturing how steep 5 fingers is.

Made it out onto the winter trails one last time before they're closed to trucks until December.

This is what a Duratrac at 12psi looks like.

I took a shortcut from Vance AFB to the aux field at Kegelman in Oklahoma. Maybe this is why the shortcut isn't allowed in the Air Force van anymore.

Back from a little camping at around 5000ft. Went from 90 degrees at 2pm Friday to snowing this morning! I am happy I put the Duratracs on, had no problem pulling 3000# out of the axle deep mud. They spun clean quickly, really great tire. Rain began about 10pm and was still going until it got cold enough to snow at 8am when we left. If you have ever been out in the high desert when that much rain hits, you will understand how sketchy it can get.

Not much for photos from this trip. It is the same area I have been going all winter, so it wasn't really necessary. Just a few to keep the whoring up.

A huge Ironwood we pulled out of a wash for firewood. This thing was turning boulders of 500# or more over when pulling it out.

You can see the snow capped mountains where we were camping from our house. Looks like we made it out just in time!

Went playing around Capitol Forest, WA with some friends. The plastic on the sides is my attempt at saving my paint. The last time I went out I scratched the crap outta my sides and had to buff it to make it look good again. This time I went to the RV store and bought some plastic barrier and that stuff looks ugly but I had branches scraping the sides like crazy and I didn't have one new pinstripe. I know its a truck and I do take it on trails and scratches are expected but if I can save my paint then I am going to.

The Runner did fantastic, I was really surprised I made it through some of the trails, used the crawl control for the first time and it got me through areas I kept slipping on. I am totally sold on it, although it did feel like cheating.

This is my dog wondering why we aren't moving. Was hung up and not going anywhere waiting for my buddy to bring his truck around to get a pull.

A little flex.

Great pics guys! This is the best thread in this entire forum. I think it needs to be sticky'd.
 
Heh, did you have one of those "I wish I had a snorkel" moments?

It was definitely getting close, my only choices were to go in deeper or pull to the left and hope I didn't roll over lol. O and this was all in some deep water/mud in 2wd!!!
