Hello everyone, this is Robert, or Bert for short with the white 4runner. Truck haven on Saturday was great, thanks to Ollie and JJ for taking the lead, and anybody else that helped put this together. Here are some of the pics I got:

Great pictures Robert. Thanks for joining us. I was very impressed at how you handled that stock Runner (and a manny tranny too) out there. I had concerns going in but you proved me wrong. It was great to meet you.

They look fine to me. They always align left on this forum.

Thanks to Ollie for a great run, it was the second time that I have been out with Ollie & Chris (Frogeye). Ollie was taking all the right lines through the rocky notch. I was able to find Tipy which helped Ollie find a hill climb he liked and a route to the phone booth. It was really good group and we did not have anyone break anything or use a winch or tow strap.

If anyone has photos of the blue YJ at the Arch please post them or PM them to me.

Thanks,

JJ

P.S. Thanks to "salad_man" Robert for the photo of my Jeep. :D
