    Wow guys. I love your pics! Thanks for posting. I feel like I beat my truck hard this weekend and she is just smiling waiting for more. Can't wait to get back out on the trail somewhere...

    Here is camp in the morning, such good weather:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-027 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    We got on the trail and encountered the first obstacle. It seems to me this has been dug deeper and made more tippy since last June:

    [​IMG]exportedhires-049 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    [​IMG]exportedhires-060 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    [​IMG]exportedhires-062 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    Moving on from here, we mosied through the trail, stretching the legs of our rigs and occasionally tapping diffs and armor:

    [​IMG]exportedhires-077 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-088 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    This spot above the granite slab seemed like a nice plays to take a breather and have some lunch.

    The pups also enjoyed a little rest from being tossed around:

    [​IMG]exportedhires-181 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    [​IMG]exportedhires-139 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    I was worried poor Brent would be left out of all the photo ops (boy, was I wrong), so I snapped a few. The beauty of the Sierras is something to behold:

    [​IMG]exportedhires-133 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    Moving on, we entered the stretch leading up to the stair case. Even got to bust out the recovery strap, which was a new experience for me:

    [​IMG]exportedhires-259 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    Sliders were definitely used here:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-267 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    This was a cool line to take, too bad it didn't quite pan out:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-317 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-320 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    This was a little more comfortable:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-321 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    Here was a nice spot we all were able to flex, stuff, and smack the armor pretty good:

    [​IMG]exportedhires-384 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-394 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    The camera guy (me) was a dick and neglected to warn them that they were about to drop several feet onto the slider - oops!
    [​IMG]exportedhires-405 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    That is it for now. I'll post up the remaining pics from the stairs and beyond tomorrow.

    Did you get any pictures?

    @Rames was running a set of your SR8s. They looked pretty sharp. His Bead lock rings took some damage, so I was telling him I had seen a thread about another company you were talking about that sells replacement rings and retrofits. Do you have that info handy?

    Ok here are some pics from the staircase. By the time I got there Brent was already most of the way up. He made it relatively easy.

    [​IMG]exportedhires-451 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-452 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    I went next. Took an interesting route into the stairs from the side since I was blocked in - pretty sure that is where I dented the gas tank skid. I tried the line Brent took, but got my tire pinched between some rocks, and was in danger of breaking a bead. We opted to pull my butt out with a strap - first time I've ever needed a pull.

    I think I missed one or two rigs coming up while I was parking/examining for damage, but I got pics of Kent next:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-475 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-480 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    Followed by Budman:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-489 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-494 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    Then Jeremy:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-501 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-507 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    And James:

    [​IMG]exportedhires-513 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-514 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    Moving along... we found some more rocks... No surprise! Everyone did their bit spotting (some more than others, admittedly I am not the best at that), here is Steve walking Kent through the line:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-518 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    And for the money shot:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-522 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    This line is just to the side, and it is quite fun, just ask Kevan my passenger... Here is Brent, like a boss. Steve took this line too I think, but I missed the photos of it for some reason:
    [​IMG]exportedhires-527 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr
    [​IMG]exportedhires-537 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    John doing a little passenger side spotting. I think Budman is going to put John on his payroll for future trips ;)
    [​IMG]exportedhires-552 by johnboyTRD, on Flickr

    After this we crossed the bridge thinking we were 'out of the woods'. This was not the case, and we encountered one of the trickier sections of the day. It required some throttle + lockers and much banging of armor! I personally didn't get any pics of it, but hopefully someone got a few.
    Here is one last pic from camp, Bret and Daisy enjoying a cold one:
