    I never did much off roading at Eglin, I didn't have my Taco at the time. Check out the Pensacola thread, sometimes they do a trail ride.

    ya, I guess apparently even though I acknowledged the copyright notices, I need to be a partner or something to be able to change the syndication settings to be able to have them be viewed on mobile devices. youtube must have changed that recently, it never used to be like that, I have several videos on my channel that have the "copy right" notices and they are still viewable on mobile. Its only the last 2 videos they cant be viewed on mobile...which is stupid
