    he was being petted by me until i realized Mike was sneaking up behind me. i tried to run but i was pretty drunk an just standing up was hard enough

    i dont know who that is in the first picture but he sure does have some nice legs...

    in the second picture you cant really tell but me and Mike are doing the saturday night live thing where you get on each side of a girl and hump her until she finds you attractive. we also decided to multitask by eating fig newtons while we did it.

    My woman is the same way now. she's like "you definitely need a bunch of trail armor and sliders"

    they're an aphrodisiac

    yeah, that was pretty funny, there was NO place for them to camp except the gravel side road

    we need to have all the pics, from both crews, the RH guys and everyone else all in one thread or gallery

    yeah, you're lucky there was a trailer

    im honestly surprised my alternator lasted as long as it did

    i was able to save it and bring it back to life back in 06 when it tried to do the same thing...but luckily my battery was weak then and crapped out first



    now then

    for those of yall who put the pics in your gallery...maybe go thru and post some of the highlights in this thread too?

    and when someone gets the RH pics put the good ones in here...of course we wont need the 4098475982734 pics of the dealer truck...



    i was apparently very tired...i slept over 12 hours last night...glad i had today off :)

    Hey copper, of the taco's that were present would you say they all had lifts? Were there any bone stock suspensions?

    Did they have any isuues trail wise? The reason I am asking is I have been looking at my truck lately (yes in that funny kinda way) and I have noticed it needs leveled. The front is close to two inches lower than the rear, just by eyeballing it. Granted it is a tundra, but I am debating that if I do level it, it would probably just be as benificial to lif the whole truck. I should probably check out tundra solutions to see what those guys have done.

    not really...i think the drop bracket lifts scraped here and there...and luni hit his belly pan multiple times...

    i think the cruiser couldve used a bit more height...

    we did manage to take the stock tacoma and cruiser (both on street tires) down one of the hardest trails there...at night...with some good spotting the only damage was a crunched muffler on the cruiser :)

    Thats good news. If I got the lift route, I think it would be beneficial to get some underarmor.

    getting there....
    just got back from pressure washing my truck off..........that was fun. its still got alotta mud underneath, but i got the biggest percentage outta there. and checking over my stuff.....i caught my belly pan good one time....good long scrapes on it, and im guessing that happened on rocky mount look at the top.

    overall.....i dont think anyone sustained any trail damage, other than the crunched muffler on ross' ride.

    anyone else find anything they may have missed.....any good slider or bumper hits taken?

    My truck has very minimal lift at this point. TSB rear about an inch lower in front. When it's all said and done my actual ground clearance will probably be half tires, half suspension. Last time I went to URE I was in a 3" lifted 07 on 285/70/17 BFG ATs and I honestly noticed a difference actually having down travel in my front suspension. It kept a lot of drop offs and crossed-up sections from turning into puckering off camber situations. The ATRAC helped me drive through forementioned crossed-up situations.

    I'm a big fan of minimal lift, maximum tire (with room for articulation), and armor.

    EDIT: Once I get cleaned off I'll check my undercarriage. I was hitting belly skid and frame rails all day.
