    Had a great time, hopefully I didn't make too much of an ass of myself on my first trip out with other people.

    Here is Jason's pucker moment, after watching the video it looks like Jason was backing down fine the first time, but the second time was definitely a slide, I pissed myself a little watching him sliding that close.


    Here's a couple pics, I need more practice shooting vehicles on obstacles.
    DV01.jpg DV02.jpg DV03.jpg DV05.jpg DV06.jpg

    And my favorite, Andy contemplates life's meaning with Francisco stuck
    DV04.jpg


    And finally, forgot to do this before we split, but I video'd it so everyone could see how much it collected....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAQyw1aRyeg&feature=youtu.be

    It didn't collect much, and I think what it did collect mostly came from the silt/dust bed we passed through.

    Ugg, yeah, gonna switch over, might as well say screw it and put long travel on too while I'm at it, just have to figure out the logistics of it and if I want to do the CV rebuild myself or pay someone to do it.

    My bank account hates you. :D

    the start is tricky though, may want to ask me some questions before you attempt that part.

    Think my rig and I will probably be fine.. but what exactly makes it tricky?

    Ive never actually been wheeling in DV but want to get a group together (or join a group) to go explore a bit

    Would have loved to go but taking a few days off before finals was something that slightly outweighed it sadly..

    Im always on the lookout for a good DV group:thumbsup:

    Lay the seat down in the back of the minivan and stretch your tall ass from back gate to feet on the dash. Done.
