Nice macro! Did the plan-B hood tie-down make it all the way home?

Processing my pictures now, should be up in a few. Thanks to everyone for showing up on this "pre"-run... wonderful time, and I learned some new tricks. Another bonus - my truck runs better now than it did before the trip, I think it just needed to get smacked by a few rocks. :lol:

No major damage here, though I did curl my passenger door a little when I slid off a rock at the beginning of Heartbreak Ridge (Pontiac Loop?). I need to get those sliders installed...

Ollie -

The wire whip for the ATAS-120A is only about $10.00. I've had air braking on my rear panels since the Lucrum mount was installed - no issues there.

So I've got to ask - whats the "No Pansie Shields" ???

Ollie, did see the taco nuts? The first truck almost flipped. His front was coming off the ground and he had a crawler box. See his reverse lights as he backed down.

I saw that. You have some good pics there. That hill was pretty sketchy. I understand why they closed it off.
