Lo Range, HDC and mud/ruts for the most part.

It even started to snow up top. I bloody love this truck. More so now than ever now that it's appropriately shod.
More wheel lifting.



Choose your adventure.


Some pucker factor in the off camber sections.


A few more pinstripes to add to the collection and a little forest kiss for good measure.



Happy Friday y'all.
Wow looks like an awesome trail!! So jealous that you can crank that out in a morning

I was like a kid on Christmas morning. It's ridiculous. Up in the dark, getting dressed quietly in the dark before sneaking downstairs to play with my toys.

This track well and truly tested my meager skills. Learning as I go. A real fun trip.

Did the classic "Burns Canyon" Trail near Joshua Tree which goes from Desert to Mountains, Trail 2N02. Found some dirt along the way....


Going from Desert Joshua Trees to Mountain Pines in Big Bear.

Found sound dirt

The dirt ended up being a bit clay like....
