Rich didn't even get above an idle.

There may be diesel plans for the PW soon.
I'd even consider it for the Burb after wheeling with Rich.

this sort of shows the angle

Rich made it look very easy

Why is there a filing cabinet in the back of richards rig?

 

[kellyjohn]

It's the coolest thing!!!

It's a portable pantry loaded with food.
The front and back covers are actually small tables.
Sooooo Cool.

Awesome. Seems everytime I see his rig something has changed.

I'll just keep loading them up when I get a few min. uninterrupted.

I'm just over 1/2 the pics taken.
Probably won't load them all unless requested to.

I hardly took any, but once Courtney starts posting them on FB, I will transfer her pics to this thread also

Trying to keep them in order of how the day progressed.

 

[kellyjohn]

That would be great!

She said she didn't post on the CK5 site so I figured I'd make up for it by posting a bunch.

I don't do FB.

Just about at a point where I'll have to deal with some actual work today

Hope there is enough photos of each ride for everyone.

Last for now.
Tried to get some of our trail leader but many times he was already up before i got there.

Few more of Josh

It was tougher than Josh made it look.

 

[kellyjohn]

Many pics

I figure I'll load as many photos as possible.
Better to have too many than be asked if there were more..??

More at the end of the day.

Keep em coming!!!

 

[kellyjohn]

few more for now

I'll eventually get through these pics.

Had way more wheel hang than what was caught on film.
Cool climb for sure!

The steering was almost non existent at this point.

Next was the least modified Blazer of the group

With driver skill it was able to keep up with the large tire guys very well.

A little winch work was required to compensate for the slight difference in ground clearance.

Did I really just get the vote for least modified?
I think the 17" H2s make the 35s look like 33s.
And I am seriously lacking x-over steering and rocker protection.

Great trail leading
Great spotting by all (especially John )
Great group of people to hang with
Great mix of rigs
Great weather (a little too hot for me though)
And all in all a great time

Even though I had to leave early Sunday, I still had a lot of fun Saturday. My buddy Tom (with the 4runner) enjoyed coming out as well, thanks for having him along. Can't wait to see more pics
