Not very good pictures. I was using my new digital, instead of my SLR. The digital just does not do as good of a job.
But, we had fun.

Well, I didn't max out the ramp, but I am balanced

77 on the 30 degree. Respectable I guess.
Springs are pretty flexy..

If the front flexed as much as the rear it would be un stable to the point of un wheelable.
We did hit some stuff on the trail Monday that was over 45 deg.:eek:
I don't think I want to change it much.;)

Wet is an understatement.
I assume you are talking about these pics?

Most of the trail was not as wet as that mud hole, although some other parts were, but you can see the soup most of the trail was like in this picture

Many of the trails up here are wet year round. Traction, or rather lack of, is usually the biggest obstacle we fight.

Well I was a looooooser and was hanging out in a campground in South Lake Tahoe all weekend. Actually I decided on some final designs on our crawler so the weekend wasn't a complete loss. I was hoping to get to the roundup this year but since you all moved it to July I just couldn't swing it. RMIHR was cool, but we had NO rigs with us ~ SUPER LAME. We did sell the heck out of our new hats though...that was cool...

LOL. Hadn' thought of that. Just thought green grass would be more inviting than the dry yellow stuff we really had.. ;)
