    gotcha. so you can only have fun in a 4x or a locked diff truck. my apologies.

    in all fairness it has been a year and a half since ive been there. they probably put up signs stating that "all 2wd non locked trucks are restricted to sand highway only" come on. think about it. you gonna climb the hills? you gonna zip up and down china wall ? gonna mash up and down olds and cruise through the big dunes like a rail ? im sure most of you have been to the sand in non 4x non "locked" truck. come on. think about it.


    sincerely yours,

    - race car driver

    With 2wd you're lucky if you can even get to the hill haha. With 4x4 and some experience you can actually make it up olds. Just saying with 4x4 you're not nearly as restricted with 2wd.

    agreed. 4x makes you pucker up less when it comes to getting stuck.

    Ehhh. The thread is kind of getting poo'ed on right now. Who cares about 2wd vs four. I know I had a BAD ASS weekend out there, thanks for the hospitality from everyone at camp.

    It was awesome seeing all the AZ members come out, it was sick wheeling with all of you, hope we get to do something like that again.!

    Brennan has my go pro, so I can't readily post all of my footage. Have some odds and ends in my Iphone,and I know other people do too! Lets see it! :D

    Kaleb you better post all that shiii!

    & Brennan will get a SICK glamis video going, just gotta give him some time to work on it.

    All I know is me, you, and Bryan had no issues getting around, and I dont recall any of us getting stuck all weekend. There will be videos of RJ making it pretty far up olds and I went all the way up comp hill. Some people do need 4wd but as someone said a few times if you know what your doing you can get all over the place. Also when your in a truck there is so much more to glamis than the actual dunes and sand highway. I'm sure RJ will agree I showed him one of the best whooped out trails ever, I have been waiting to show you guys that trail since we started the thread.

    On a funnier note, Aaron got stuck and guess who got him out? Me, so suck it 4wds :p:D

    Nah! It wasnt even that rough. The other side was at a bit of a down slope so it wasnt too bad. :thumbsup:
