what a day! going up the left side of duran is no joke. it was a mixed group of well built rock rigs, some nice jeeps, and a couple of IFS rigs. the groups experience also ranged greatly. perfect weather of course... and more ill fill in when im not holding my eyes open


the broken list:
-one ring and or pinion
-two tires
-multiple rock kisses

here is Rons run on the gate keeper. to be fair a jeep broke on the same spot right before his run. the rock is vertical and near impossible to get a tire up on to.

im going as long as i get my truck back from the shop(front diff is leaking) and i get a chance to pound out my gas tank skid plate. but id like some more trail armor before I do the left side of duran again.

it looks like a few guys want to do some class 3-4 stuff so i will hang with them. we'll have to see how this next trip pans out though. if it all goes to a wash on the more sane run, and the rock bashers like you get rounded up....id love to do a ride along and get more video and pictures. i got some video but i was busy driving most of the time and missed good footage of the lead vehicle(Joes truck)

DAMN IT! We were so gonna go but we were confused about how many would show up on which weekend. Bummer man. Well, is anybody going to head out this Sunday then. We really want to go do some good wheeling with you guys. Like I said in the other thread I am down to do anything but the gatekeeper.

just gotta hear back from the shop about my truck tomorrow. im hoping they can fix the leak without a full tare down of the diff. if i get it back by saturday then im all set. havnt heard from anyone else in this thread if they are coming. i think the date change really threw people off.

Had a great time wheeling with everyone. Man, I love Calico. Good times for sure. Ok here are the pictures I took from this weekend.

There are a lot of them (like over 800), but I think I got some great shots. Enjoy...
