    Agreed. But you can just tell him he's wrong and why he's wrong. Your experience will still shine through without coming across like a jerk.

    Fundamental rules are there for everyone to continue having fun too. My bad for shooting off so aggressively. I'm just saying if you want these to work better do a little more organization and look at the big picture.

    I was trying to do my own thing but those other folks got caught up in our group due to your lack of organization. Next thing we're pulling recovery for one of the guys from your meet!

    You also have to make people understand what they're getting into and what they're going to need since the wilderness presents its own set of danger. Since you're the organizer you will ultimately be held responsible for the group's actions.

    I took tons of pictures and I am trying to get them done by tonight and posted ASAP. But just to put in my $.02 on this event...it was a little "all over the place" We (4WD Guys) kept chasing you down because we wanted the Pre-Runners to hang with you...the last thing we wanted to do was Baby sit any pre-runner on any tougher trail...

    I am not here to bash on anyone or anything like that...I am here as an observer/Photographer! LOL but You guys could have done a better job of at least trying to accommodate everyone that was there after all you guys are all Toyota Owners, it was pretty stupid and annoying spending the morning trying to freaking locate you guys..."oh we are over here" and then we drive there and you guys are gone. Instead of saying "Oh we will wait for you to bring in the Pre-runners" it seemed like you guys didn't really care...

    We told you we had Pre-Runners in our group and that we were pulling one out...what did you guys do...you drove by and then you kept going instead of stoping and asking if we needed a hand or anything...

    So whatever...maybe you guys got intimidated by the TTORA guys or at least it seemed you didn't want to hang with us, it's in the past! I will have my pictures up as soon as I can! :) For the rest of the guys that hung with us...the 4runner/ LT Taco you guys are hella cool as well as Nick, Renee, and Noe :)

    And for the guy who said he would never join TTORA you are missing out...if any of you want to know what it's like to really wheel your Taco and want to be taught the ropes then TTORA is the place for you. They don't just pose and drive...they wheel the shit out of there trucks! And that is how the cookie crumbles!!
