Well I am back from the Fundlands... Georges supersecret off road playground. Geez where do I start?

First... Mega thanks to George... this was the most challenging off road time I have ever spent. I was forced to push and exceed the limits of my comfort zone about every 40 minutes... and I am not exaggerating!

Never have I seen or have done so much in a single weekend. It really made me do some soul searching about how willing I am to exlore the limits of my truck and my skills.

I also experienced a whole new game.. Wheelign in the dark. And if you thought it could be tough in the day light... well... darkness took it to a whole new level!

The carnage was on a whole new scale too! I lost a window, the left rear bumper is bent in (will adjust with winch later!), and the right rear bumper that used to hang low from voodoo got smashed -back to original specs almost perfectly!

My undercarriage is doing fine. I've gotten better with the brakes.

I was forced to use the winch twice... without it recovery would have been near impossible!

Other damage to the rest of the vehicles was rampant!!

The groups was totally cool and I will be so excited to go again http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I'll write more later. Right now I am simply exhausted!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who can't get good night shots.

Looks like you guys had fun. Hope the mud cleanup isn't too bad.

BTW, you have to swap out that chrome brush guard for a black one. It clashes with the black Gobi rack and the winch cradle.
