Looks like you guys had fun!! Shawn the jeep looks sweet! Have to do some welding now looks like! Brant the new bumper looks good.....just need painted or powder coated.

Darin is always good for a show!! Hope everybody had fun.

Man that a blast! even though i broke my strut. Thanks to my 2nd Gen Tacoma brother Brant. I was able to get my truck fixed that night. Thanks Brant!! And thanks to everyone who came you guys are fun to wheel with!! Cant wait till the next run!

[Mr.TRD]

Had a blast guys.... No problem John, if I have spares and you need them, they are there.

Cory- Getting it powdercoated when the sliders get done.....It was had to stay off the rocks without sliders until I watched Derrick nail his sliders really good and thought it would be best to wait until they are on for me to try the rock section. How was it out there for you?

[Sandman]

Sunday went pretty good also. It was a lot more wind but we had a smaller group with four rigs. We went through the channel and then further out on the desert to the bigger sand hills and played around. HAd a good time!

Only took a few pics though.

[wildthings]

Rockland sounds fun!! I should be up and running again by then, as long as i can find a new part. i welded it just to get it off the trailer, but i think i better fixer right before i wheel her to hard. Parts truck had the wrong one:lame:

[jb5150]

Rockland sounds fun to me!! let me know when.

[blackdiamond]

Ok, so i know that it is a couple months after the fact, but John Dutton came over and plugged in his camera, and i got a couple pics from lake channel, so i thought i would throw them up. We all enjoy pics.

So did it go up it this time a bit easier than last year??? :drive:

[blackdiamond]

Up the rock garden, yes. up the sand hill it did about the same. i didn't break anything on the rock garden, so i was able to go up it 2 times this year, which was nice even though i did worse the second time.
