    Hit 100k miles. And a lot has happened since then. Been to Utah twice, dunes, crawled over Mt. Charleston, installed rear locker, lights, relocated the skid jack, new tires, siren, and a few other things.

    50" LED light bar install.

    50" Rough Country Black Series light bar
    MCM Fab light bar mount

    I'm very happy with the results. The MCM mount is very nice. I like the mounting location. Not too high like I've seen some, and not too low. Once the bar is tied between them, the mounts are very sturdy and solid.
    I've had the same brand and type of light on my 4runner for about 3 years now, in Florida (humidity and rain all the time). and now in the desert for a year enduring the sun, snow, heat, and freezing temperatures. Still works perfectly, and no condensation. So I went with the same one, just wider. For about $450 it's amazing. I've used it several times out in the desert, crawling over Mt Charleston at night, at Fins & Things at Moab, and up at the San Rafael Swell in Utah. Bright, and the range is great.

    San Rafael Swell - Utah 2019

    On the way - I70. Weather was perfect.
    [​IMG]

    Our itinerary was running Devil's Race Track starting through the tunnel under I70 from the camp area where we stayed the previous night.
    Devil's Racetrack then becomes the Eva Conover trail which will then take you out of the valley and dump you out onto the west bound side of I70.

    Our campsite the first night

    Cruisin through the meadow

    An arch near the entrance to the Devil's Racetrack, and no tourist to see anywhere!

    An omen of things to come...

    The main obstacle closer to the entrance of Devil's Racetrack.

    The trail got tight in many areas. Al Tundy was about as wide as you want to go on this trail

    Stopping along the way to scope out some cool rock formations

    Plenty of cool rock formations to view along the way

    One of several drop offs along the Devil's Racetrack descending into the valley

    Another look at the map:

    The cliff faces down in the valley of Devil's Racetrack were massive and directly accessible.

    Where's Waldo?
    [​IMG]

    About exiting Devil's Racetrack and heading towards the entrance of Eva Conover which takes you up out of the valley.

    Now winding up the canyon on Eva Conover
    [​IMG]

    One of the many gulches and rock formations along the route

    Eva Conover is a bitch on tires. Thankfully I had two spares, a skid jack and helpers.

    Leaving the Eva Conover trail and onto I70.
    Eva Conover Trail can be accessed directly off west bound 70 about mile marker 120 I think.
    [​IMG]

    Out onto "pavement" and aired up.
    [​IMG]

    We then camped the night before heading out the next day.

    A small clue about where our campsite was. It's well hidden, and incredible
    [​IMG]

    Packed up and ready to go

    Even our way out of the camp site was a fun trail
