    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    Good to know I can get rid of mine when the time comes for around $200.

    Not sure if you would get 200. But you might want to do it before it gets all scratched up.
    Mall crawlers don't like scratches

    A few audio upgrades, tinted windows, remote start because it f'n hot in Texas! 6in Fabtech DB lift, 17x9 Fuel Trophy wheels, 315/70/17 Duratracs,BAMF 80in sliders w/kickout, Prinsu cab rack w/30in Heretic light bar, custom bedside decals, custom hi-lift jack brackets, US Offroad front bumper w/winch, bed rack with RTT, CB, Short wave base station, Ultra gauge, color matched grille surround, an ungodly amount of recover gear, ARB fridge, hood struts, RotoPax, traction pads.
    No winch or plate bumper or even skid plates. But I do have sliders, 35's, and some traction pads. Hopefully that's enough. It works be cheaper to just plastidip a chrome one.
    Loks like It's just going to be you and me Chris.

    Traction pads were hit or miss out there.

    They helped me not dent up my bedside when I had to back out of a trail.

    I got some video of me going into it (before they added logs to help with traction). I'll have to see what I find. I haven't even looked at most of the footage yet.

    Wide shot of the corner

    The corner on your left is sharp. And if you get stuck in the mud like me, you risk sliding to the wall. So watch out if you have to skinny pedal your way through.

    On the right side, watch those roots sticking out if you have to reverse. Notice how that area is slick as well. When we were figuring out the recovery, we could see the ground just crumble away .

    Here's a screenshot right before I entered it and got stuck.

    @MJS put his passenger tire on the far right to get around it.

    When I walked past that area, it wasn't bad at all. Just some mud there that could cause some slippage. For those going, if you go down Desi Way and see this area, get out and check it first.

    The earlier you leave the better.

    More time to setup camp and check out some of the trails.

    I have to wait for the kiddos to get up and going, go have lunch in Longview and then drop them off at their pawpaws house. I think Warren and Chris are going to go there after we eat lunch and set up
