    WOW Thank you every one for the insights! I will have to report back on the trip! The more I learn the more I see just how big this park is!!

    I am somewhat of a preparedness nerd so we will have plenty of extra water and gas plus an inreach GPS to communicate with the outside world if needed. I already have a few maps plus iPad with multiple TOPO maps and will pick up a copy of death valley SUV trails.

    How was your trip? Anyone been down Lippencott road lately? A group invited me knowing I'm a 2wd (lifted, tires, armor) on a trip and said I'll have no problem getting down it. I'm double cab long bed too.

    Lol roads were great (while he sitting on his sliders). We are a crazy bunch. Is that steel pass? I'm taking my PreRunner from Titus to teakettle, down lipincott then over the saline hot springs next month with some friends. Can't wait!

    Great pics. Did the 4runner without sliders sustain any damage?

    4runner was actually the only person that didn’t need sliders. All the trucks had to use the sliders on steel there. Steel pass be the only place I’d want 4wd on. Even then going the direction we went you’d probably still make it.

    I loved it out there in the winter. One night? Personal I would hit Titus canyon and make it out to the race track. Those are my favorite places.
