    I jacked up my alignment and have a new light on the dash I have to figure out as well.

    Hit a rock coming down part of the trail a little to hard on the passenger side.

    What light? Not a CEL hopefully?

    You rocked Suicide Hill btw, I'm jealous lol. I need a front locker or ATRAC at least :(

    That was a really fun White Mountain run. We ran 3N17 almost all the way to the end, there are some really technical/tricky hill climbs back there. Got some good photos/footage of it all that I'll share once Dominick goes through his footage.

    I'll go through whatever drone shots I got later today. Who knows what I captured since the fucking thing only worked 10% of the time.

    Actually looking at this map, we did do it all the way to the end where 3N17 merges with 3N16 (we ended at point 9 on the map)...there was more trail though heading east. I wonder where that goes, will have to go back and check it out sometime.

    Yeah that sounds about right, where we merged with 3N16 it was only about a 15 minute fire road drive into Fawnskin by the lake. The last section of hill climb was really rocky on 3N17, the right side proved too difficult for me after trying a few times...just kept digging into the soft ground underneath all the rocks and eventually got hung up on a big ass boulder that we had to dig out with my shovel and roll down the hill, lol. I tried Suicide Hill too at the beginning but it was too steep and soft for me, @oni06 got up it though after one or two hang ups.

    With a front locker both would be doable with hardly any trouble I imagine, or maybe I just needed bigger tires lol.

    Is that you going straight? :eek: lol

    Mine's turned a little to the right to keep straight but nowhere near that bad, that light is for some kind of traction control warning I think? Probably related to the hit you took, I bet a good alignment shop can take care of it.

    Couple screen grabs my buddy sent me from the drone footage...the video he got of me getting part way up Suicide Hill is awesome even though I didn't make it, lol. He's going to be in Mexico the rest of the week though so probably can't share any of it until he gets back.

    And of course, the mandatory poser shot :D Figured out how to mount the Trasharoo on my tailgate using the bed rack as an anchor point to keep it secure and in place...works really well actually. Stayed on perfectly for the freeway trip home.

    haha. Only rocking a rear steel bumper here and it finally took a hit yesterday on White Mountain...backed down the last rocky climb straight into the giant boulder we had moved out of the way to get me unstuck :anonymous:

    Yep that is going strait and yeah light has to do with traction control. I looked it up last night in the manual but I forget the details right now.

    "If the steering wheel is off-center enough, the steering angle sensor will send bad data to the VSC system (resulting in the traction light)"

    From this thread, 2nd post. Sounds like after you get an alignment the light should either go off on it's own or just get reset, should be good after that
