    Sorry guys wish I had a video man or camera man so you all could've seen HB Murphy wheel the shit out of his truck. I sucked at trying to man the camera and drive at the same time. But believe me Murphy tore it up; one of the funnest trails I've been on and the longest. I consider myself lucky in the fact I only have one skid and sliders. One of my sliders suffered a pretty bad hit but didn't bend or flex held up very well.:D
    Goo0d lookin out on the invite and next time we def gottta hit up JDKEller to roll out:rolleyes:

    HB (Paul) Murphy and his Tacoma are (now) BAJA PROVEN! Nothing is too tough, anymore!

    I am curious as to what you found limited the A-TRAC, all the time I was in Low Range in Baja I was also in A-TRAC.

    Thanks for the photos Paul, I need to look the videos over more mañana.

    Too bad we didn't have video but I was going a bit faster and the hill was very steep and very loose.... it tried and tried but gravity was working a bit faster than ATRAC. I don't think too many folks would ever get it to that point and up to that point it worked quite well! :)

    Zoomie didn't want to go on this one... She is the next level of sports announcer!!!

    "Hard Core Wheeler?" Me? When compared to someone that can wheel this beast through the trails we were on in Mexico?

    [​IMG]

    I guess compared to that, wheeling my truck is like a threading a fine silk thread through a polished gold needle! :)

    Damn Paul and Mario, looks like a sick run. I would have to swap out the Rugged Trails before I hit up that much rock.

    It looked something like this:

    MillerJeeptrail2_c217a7a72629fd1fd15bccb076792feb2e053b1f.jpg

    and then gravity started pulling me more than the ATRAC could deliver.

    Okay, so constant uphill loose stuff is where the rear locker can do a good jog and give the A-TRAC a rest?
