A couple shots from today... Had a great time per usual; great mix of familiar faces and some new folks too!

had a great time yesterday! I was really happy with the number of people that came out. Our group consisted of the following:

[MENTION=49537]4ShoreRunner[/MENTION]
[MENTION=51030]joneseyyy[/MENTION]
[MENTION=76166]Qjake[/MENTION]
[MENTION=86190]Alex T4R[/MENTION]
[MENTION=77604]SEP[/MENTION]
[MENTION=48772]Jesse1983[/MENTION]

there was another guy with a stock limited and I'm not sure if he's on here. With him was a Jeep and a XTerra, both stock I think. But I had a blast; always good to see the guys I've met before, and meet some new people too.

The day was cut a little short due to an issue with [MENTION=49537]4ShoreRunner[/MENTION]'s truck mentioned above, and an issue with [MENTION=51030]joneseyyy[/MENTION]'s truck. [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] will be getting some calls today :cell:

All iPhone pics, sorry

talk about prepared - we stopped for lunch and I got out my cooler with sandwiches, granola bars, etc. [MENTION=51030]joneseyyy[/MENTION] whips out a table, and grill, and starts cooking sausage!

Great Pics guys and very well done Ben!

Just a reminder that the black goop at RC is corrosive so wash 'em good! :bathbaby:

That looks like a good time. Maybe next year I can join you all. Strong presentation with all the 5th gens

It's quite a hike for me to get there. I know Billy(QJake) has gone a number of times now and he lives in my neck of the woods. I'd like to make the trip next time if I can. How were the trails?

[MENTION=76166]Qjake[/MENTION] has gone so many times that you really have no excuse to not go!

the trails were good. we didn't hit anything very difficult, though we may have, had our trip not ended a little early.

For anyone wondering, one guy (I forget his name and don't know if he's on here) was with us in a stock limited. there was only one spot where he damaged his rocker a bit and probably dented his skid. He probably would have had more issues on the second half of the run. point being, the abilities of a stock 4Runner are pretty impressive.

LOL. I'm getting the feeling that I'll have no choice next time!

I ran through RC in a stock(at the time) 2012 SR5 last year and had the same experiences. Some damage to the rocker and minimal to the skid. I tried to pull it off this past weekend to tag along with the crew but was waiting for my 4R to return to me with new tires/wheels.

Looked like a good time. I am in for the next trip to RC.

Jesse was so quick through this spot that i couldn't even get a proof of it. Actually Jesse went without bumping his truck, where Ben hit it twice.
