You got one photo to show up.
Here are some I took.  Had a Good time wheeling, and now have a couple things to fix, which was expected.  Here are the only photo's that turned out.
You made this look easy.

And a couple I grabbed from Kaley.

This is where I was going to push you up

Kris was amazed at how deep this has been dug.

The rock that I got high centered on going downhill.

It was a lot of fun, and I had forgot how tight Walker Valley is.  Do not know how some of the bigger rigs get through.  Oh yeah, they just tear it down, and make big holes.

3 things I like

1) creative hold downs for the hood
2) most pics show tires on ground (so they can work it)
3) it wasn't raining/snowing ???

P.S. ruts like that can high center ya ... but get tires with decent side lugs, and crab back and forth (this will result in body damage when done "properly" ;) )

BTW, that first pic is AWESOME ... it's true "on the trail" articulation versus "look what I can do at the mall"

That is moonzuk52's (new member) ride, he has been testing a recent switch to coil springs on both ends, and enjoying the results.  I have been wanting to make a real 4x4 field trip, and he has been doing them last couple weeks, so we made this run Sunday.
I don't think he broke anything, and my casualties were a blown fuse (minimum required amps) and an air line that came off.  No dents for either of us, which is a first for me at Walker Valley.

That place can be tricky...
