Thanks for the videos! Nice that you all got out!

Hey Joe-rubber side- down rolls more smoothly that way! And what do you do...glue your hat on? Also, I thought that you were trying to keep the glass in that thing....

[Jamie]

All I can say is what a fun day! Thanks to everyone.:2thumbs:

Amazingly there was no damage to glass, there was a small scratch on the side.that was it.

looks like it was great day of riding, I don't think my ranger could handle that trail at least not til I do the SAS and the 35s.

[Brody]

Since most of the obstacles, with the exception of two, are pretty much optional, you wouldn't have much of a problem. We ran this trail earlier and had quite a few only slightly modified rigs along...lifts, bigger tires, open/open and had a gas.

It isn't a giveaway trail by any means, but just challenging enough and with nice scenery.

[WINKY]

I think you got some dust on your sindshield... thats worth like $1000 in damage there... :P

last june funrover, patrolman, and I ran it. Patrolman has 33's and ifs and he did fine. over the years we've got a number of stock trucks through there. like brody said with the exception of a few most obstacles are optional.

[Warrlord]

WOW! Glad you guys had fun & glad Joe didn't get crushed. Man, I missed a good run.

[Roostercruiser]

glad yall had fun

[Jimmy]

Thanks everyone for a great day. My father-in-law, who came along, thinks we're all crazy. :lol: When I get the pics he took (though it wasn't many as the battery died), I'll post them up.

I added a couple more bumps and bruises to the ol' Disco - either I'm out of practice or I'm gettin' lazy!

Thanks again!

[SCRubicon]

Even after dumping it over Joe still had a smile on his face. The Coyote Cantina was nice and relaxing after the run too. Again, thanks guys. This trip took my mind off of a lot of things.

[Funrover]

Had a great time!! Thanks to all who helped me with gas and such so I could go!! I really love this group!

Joe - you rock man.... you flopped your rig just because Jesse said to hahahahahahahahahaha.... seriously the smile you still had on your face was great!

Hope I can make another great run like this soon!

[JeepersCreepers]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaan I'm so bummed :( I didn't even know about the trip till last night. Otherwise I might have been cough cough sick for work. :D but I still have the 28th to get out. So I'm sure I'll see most of ya out there.

[Pathrat]

Wow, great pictures. Glad there was minimal damage. Looking at the pictures made me think of when we did this run last year, and specifically think, "I went over that?" Note to my spotters on that trip: THANKS

[Brody]

Yeah....looked like a great run! I am sorry that we couldn't make it either! All you guys are fun to hang with and I miss seeing all of ya....well, maybe not Aaron...yeah...maybe not Steve, either...come to think of it all of ya'll are kinda weird...maybe I don't miss seeing any of ya!
