Signed up once before, but forgot to post an intro thread :rolleyes:

I'm Luke from Denver (southwest area)- I've been a lurker on the forum for about 6 months, but summertime coming up and I'd like to get a little more involved with you guys!

I drive a 2005 Sport Trac, with a 3" body lift and 33"s- Other than that it's pretty much stock, but it gets me around, and to some pretty awesome views (http://4x4tography.com/ford-explorer-sport-trac/)! I have bigger plans for it, but as with most things, I don't have the time or money to make them all happen! I have a locker in the basement, and a winch in the garage - but haven't gotten around to installing them.

It's my daily driver, so I don't wheel it too hard, but we (me, my girlfriend, and Mae (yellow lab) like to get out and see mother nature whenever possible- whether it's trailriding, camping, or a combination of the two. Geneva Creek (http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=271), Johnny Park Road (http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=103), and Halfmoon Gulch (http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=42) are a couple of our favorites.

I have a hobby of taking pictures when we go out on our adventures, and I've started posting them on my personal page, 4x4tography.com (http://4x4tography.com/) - feel free to check it out! You might see a vehicle you recognize! ExplorerTom (http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?19599-1997-Explorer-XLT) is a buddy of mine that we have hit the trails with many times.


Here are a few pictures from some of our outtings:



Here's a shot from Rollins Pass East (http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=19):

Nice pictures, is that last one Argentine Pass? You could probably post it in the "Where is this? -Rocky Mountain Photo Game- (http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?20428-Where-is-this-Rocky-Mountain-Photo-Game)" thread and get an answer.
