    I would totally agree with you, butt this is actually my 3 rd truck


    first scenario, same situation you described, i ended up rolling it, second truck i saved up for 8 months (i work a full/part time I.T. job) got a little under 10k went half in with my parents for the second one, and gradually payed my dad back another half, I race motocross and wanted to get into off road truck racing, so I saw the truck i have now and opted to trade the owner, Ive been offroading for a little while now, and defiantly understand value of money, ive payed for all my mistakes


    I think im the exception to teenagers and not valuing their possesions

    For those that have been here before, I know previous entries have mentioned that they're PreRunner friendly, BUT what does that mean. I googled the area and it looks like its all desert! We kind of trails are you speaking of? How does it compare to Pine Valley? I ask because Pine Valley was freakin' awesome. Ocotillo wells has got a lot to live up to! How about a scale of 1-10.

    Alright...I've got friends coming! They're actually heading up on Friday. They are taking their toys up there too! Yes they have a taco, but also their quads! Lucky guys. I will be meeting up with you guys at Julian on Sat (early) morning and camping on Sat night! I can't wait. This sounds like more fun than Christmas.
