New Years Day crawling - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Well we all finally got time to wheel after New Years Eve, we partied hard all night, woke up fairly early and went to the Canyon to crawl for the afternoon.
Some things have changed with my rig, lowered, I'm running 3000wt. oil in my front shocks (droop set up) and 80wt. in the rear with medium coils.
My buddy that's back for a few weeks from Marine Corps fire school got his crawler running (the orange rig), that thing is less than 1 pound, while mine is roughly 3 to 4 pounds. Here are some photos of our playground. Hope you enjoy.

Just a quick example of the rock lights, they work pretty well, one rock light fell off so there's only one shining down on the rock in this picture.

The riverbed we crawl in goes for miles, we choose different spots every now and then to explore and find paths to take, it's a blast. Mostly rock obviously but a lot of sand and spots to haul ass in, I think it'd be badass if I made some kind of comp. out here called King of The Canyons.
