    One of a kind. It's like nothing you've "seen" before.

    Rarely see photos of these trails on here so here is a couple, next time I'll have to stop and take more pictures....

    2 Shots from the worst area on Dishpan Springs, as always, pictures don't do it justice, I was stopped there pull the person in front of me out of a jam with the winch.andy offroad 02.jpgandy offroad 04.jpg
    2 Shots from the rock garden on Holcomb Creek, I was being arrogant and wasn't looking out the window to check tire position and ended up high centered with my front tires in the air and the rears ended up digging into soft dirt, had to stack some rocks and a push from my companions to reverse it off the boulder

    There's another rough long area similar to the gate keeper, I think it was east of the intersection with 2n06x. It drops into a pool of water at one place and might take front locker or some speed to power up out of the pool.

    I think I found the other long rough area, looks like it is actually west of the 2N06X intersection, other than that stretch and the gate keeper the trail had a bunch of short large-boulder filled dry creek crossings I ended up banging my sliders and rear bumper several times.

    Yeah, I wouldn't recommended trying those without full armor. I'm short bed, my buddy has an old jeep (Not a wrangler, I forgot what type) with a little bit shorter base than a short bed tacoma and didn't have any problems

    I think I am going to order sliders and a front bumper.
    Then send the link to family and hint at the skids for Christmas ;)

    I got all my armor for those exact percentages off. I'm happy with my choice. You thinking of picking up anything from them? Demello announced their black November sales as well.

    Definitely, brotha. I know how hard you're working to buy a condo. Get yours, brotha. The armor will always be there. Low mortgage rates aren't as guaranteed. You can save 10's and 10's of thousands if you get in at a good time. Everybodies priorities are different. Happy to see you're fighting that urge. Respek!!
