    Leo impressed me getting that fat ass 2nd gen on 285s up to the city. You 2nd gen owner have no excuse, but make sure you have a 1st gen in front to pull you through. :D

    Yes. I went around that same rock, just not over it like Leo. After a reset, I don't think I hardly hit the slider on it.

    Next time I I'll be trying a more difficult line.

    I took a road trip with the family a couple weeks ago in my T4R.

    The T4R was #EAF with the RTT and fridge, just need to build some drawers for it.

    We camped in the salt flats a couple different days while we were in Moab.

    We did the white rim trail in Canyonlands and it was amazing!

    I recommend doing it if you can get a permit. The trail itself isn't hard, a stock truck could do it. But there could be some problem areas if it's wet.

    We camped at white crack which is the midway point so we did the trail in 2 days but you could easily do it in a day.

    Thanks! it's all the camera I'm just the neanderthal pushing the button

    Get your permit now! They only issue 1 permit per campground per night and only so many to go through per day. You might need to adjust your dates to what is available.

    Lifted, Armored, needs more lights.
    Is this permit available via online or only in person?

    Remember trip to other park where we would all show up at 6am to enter drawing/ see who won the permit(s) for that day, not conducive to trip planning.

    The best part is NO UTV or ATV's allowed! I only saw some Jeeps (rentals mainly) and some GOV F350's and F450's

    Fun trail with great weather and the traffic was not too bad for a holiday weekend.

    Heading to the trail

    I believe this is the Swan River water crossing where it converges on the trail
