    Got out to really test the lift for the first time. Flexes well for having the sway bars on.

    Went to Chaco Canyon and Bisti Wilderness this weekend. Left after work on Friday and got back late Saturday. 600 miles in less than 30 hours!

    Some 4runner shots

    I got many seasons. Full a/c and full heat were used!

    Camping or staying in a hotel?

    As long as there is no wind totally worth it. The 4wd road is closed right now, but I can show you some sweet spots!

    Camping... I'll have my RTT mounted and it'll be the first use of it for me. Sweet! hoped the 4wd road would be open, but wasn't sure if it was gated or not, and how much snow you guys have been getting.

    Absolutely no snow here. The San Juans havent gotten more than 5 inches in the last 2 months, wolf still has still gotten 350 inches though, go figure. The crestones have gotten a little but it usually blows away after a week.

    The road is closed at one of the picnic areas, which is coincidentally my favorite place to go.

    Sweet, just looking to camp, would have liked to go up the 4wd road just to limit the amount of people around... but ciest la vie

    sweet. I'll be out in Moab the friday night before. My GF and I will be staying at a campground in town as she wants to sight see. then she'll be headed back to Denver and I'll be headed down to run hole in the rock from Monday to Wed. then I'll meet you at the trail head. (I'm assuming we'll run it south to north so we'll finish near Moab)

    I know some camping spots. and you will have compete with 0 people as it is usually 20 degrees in the morning and nobody here camps. The national park has a campground, you may look into that. Zapata falls is a cool place to check out as well. I have no plans that weekend, so I can show you around.

    South to north would be sweet. We can meet an hamburger rock or the park for sure. I may go out wednesday night and camp, just so I dont have to spend all day in the car. haha
