    That's not 'off road... THIS is 'off road'! :):D:rolleyes:

    Here is where the locking rear differential is put to use! The grade is called 'The Widowmaker' and is on the trail to Mission Santa Maria in Baja California, Mexico.

    The mission is just over a mile, down the grade and through a swamp in the palm oasis. Going down isn't so bad, but to leave the mission valley one must climb back up the grade and that is where we put the truck into low range 4WD and lock the differential!

    I think that's why he called it an attempt. If this was his first time, he'll only get more daring.
    You can totally tell a California pic from others. Its crazy. There's something about the scenery and background that screams Cali.
