    Just got back from a 5 day, 4 night trip in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Had an awesome time.

    You know you're out in the middle of no where when you find one of these gems:

    I finally hit up the Rubicon this past weekend and completed it without any crazy damage. I lost a bolt on my passenger leaf spring but luckily @jberry813 had an extra nut and bolt. Wasn't the correct size, but was able to patch it up and be fine with the remaining trail.

    It was a pretty intense trail (and long) and I knew going into it I needed to work extra hard because everyone else had either long travel or 35s or both. Extremely impressed on how the truck handled it. Without further ado, pics (all photo credit to @Mrs.Mademan925)

    Yeah it was an exhausting run for sure. And mentally too because of the need to focus so much. Didn't realize how tired I was until I got home when all the adrenaline was down. Definitely glad I ran it.

    Ran it with a buddy and a group of crawlers a few years ago and it was awesome! Gonna be a whole new beast doing it IFS.
    Also would like to hit the Dusy Ershim Trail. That's 30ish miles of rocks and awesome! Looks so badass. Check it out

    I'm sore. Between sleeping on the ground, stacking rocks, shoving trucks, hilifting trucks, stacking traction boards, running winch lines, daisy chaining trucks and going up and down hills. Im beat.
