    I've heard it's more than 8 for a permit? Not 100% sure though. Looks like a great time though!

    Need to be more prepared next time especially with directions on the trail + detour etc

    Ok, here is what I will propose. You can pm me your shipping information. I will put together a three ounce bag or jerky and send it to you. I do not know if I have enough of the Jamaican formula, but I do have enough of the peppered jerky. I was thinking of selling it for $11 or $12 for a three ounce bag, plus shipping. I need to find a cheap way to ship it though.
    You each get your bag, please request the Jamaican of that is what you want and I will do my best to accommodate the request, but you might get peppered. I will send it to you and you can say either yes, $11 or $12 per bag is fair, and then endorse my product, or not. You can Pay Pal me what you THINK is a fair price, and then I can do the math to see if I can mass produce the stuff.

    This is ALL made by hand, including the knife cuts to the beef, trimming fat and any yuck veins and arteries out of it, so it is very labor intensive.

    What do you think?

    How did it break? Isn't it mostly fire road? I know there are a few technical spots.

    Either way, have heard it's better to cross the water last in case something happens water related. Also there is a hill that can't be done in 2wd if you go west to east (from what I have been told). Doesn't matter to me though!:D

    Buddies truck breaking wasn't trail related. He had crap in his gas tank which kept clogging his fuel filter, an also was super low on oil. (Oil Chevy go figure)

    I say we run gold mountain and the trail up to crab flats next. Then if anyone wants to run John Bull or Holcomb with me after we can do that.

    Thats my fear even on the fire roads, ruts tend to pop up and at high speed I'm afraid of busting a ball joint or something. Going to be upgrading suspension soon though

    It is sketchy. There is a road me and my buddies do in Santa Barbara a lot and it has a few spots that would completely wreck a truck if you hit them any faster than 2 mph and they are around blind corners. I am amazed that we don't see more broken rigs there.
    We all have pictures we love whoring out. Mine is this one...



    But I think I have a new favorite thanks to @YBLegal

    Are your shocks special order? I got mine within 3 days from @Downsouth Motorsports. You will not be disappointed I assure you. They exceeded my expectations.
