    We were talking about how you would have liked this trip. We went a bit harder than the other times you've been with us

    I had to bypass the first part. It's been dug out a good bit at the beginning and the bypass misses most of the mid part. Good chance neither of us could do that middle part without locked front and rear. It's a bad mix of soft fluffy dirt and rocks. Always spots that would make you spin an open diff.

    No one else made an attempt. I had a bust cv boot and it was binding everytime I turn, so it's time for a new one! Lol. Alex probably coulda done it but I dot think he really wanted to.
    Ditto on the fall meet

    As you all know, I am up for whenever I can take off work. I had hoped there were more photos of my Taco (and videos) I know I'm not lifted with big tires, but my girl did good! lol. I am having trouble getting my videos and photos uploaded. I am not sure the problem, but when I get them up I will post them, or links!!

    Depends on when the next meet is. I'll plan new mods according to time I guess. I'm kinda burning out on stony lonesome too though. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy going there, but i'm down for some new scenery.

    He left the first day. We did all that stuff the second day.

    All my pictures aren't worth posting. There apparently was dust on the lens and everything was grainy.

    haha. I doubt they are required too. getting rid of those wheels should be in your future plans.

    haha, they will be gotten rid of... AFTER I get the CV shafts, tie rods, and make sure that I am not going to get rid of it first. The talk is to get rid of wifey's honda and the truck and get a Runner.... not sure though

    If you really want to get into something expensive with an automobile, try track days.

    Makes off roading look comparatively cheap. :p That's always the justification I use. "Honey, I sold the Integra, and look, my BFG's may have been nearly $1k for the set, but they'll last me several years, rather than several days at the track..."
