Was the weather perfect? Well...we had just about every kind of weather you can get. Rain. Snow. Hail. Sunshine (OK...not much). Did I mention rain?
Safeway parking lot. What can I say..it's a tradition

Time to drop the air pressure a little bit

Jen needed a little tug (Rob lies all the time, Jen. Don't believe him when he says how easy a trail is)

The question came up as to how many YotaTech members it takes to change a brake light (still counting)

What's this? Fall colors?!?

We had a great time, and really enjoyed the company. Rob..your truck is simply awesome. You drive like a maniac, however.

It came to me in a vision. As many of you saw yesterday, Jim had the prettiest rig on the trail. There was much discussion as to how he can improve upon those chrome "accents" and that wax job that sheds mud like it was never there. So, here's the next step...

Cool pictures. I was just wondering how that run went that you guys had planned on the 18th. We did a run yesterday as well, hopefully will get the pics up soon.
Haha, I dont consider myself a crazy driver, but i still have a pop can in one and my cb lol. At times I was steering with my leg, but only on the smmooooth stuff.
Thanks for the pictures

Hey..give me a chance. My rig is a work in progress. By this time next year, I can see you doing this

I must say, Rob, that your remote start is quite the bling. Well done!

Well I had a great time! Rob- Awesome "tour guide", I'd been up that way several times but had no idea I was missing all that we saw yesterday.(could be because my last vehicle was not for offroading) I look forward to doing many more runs with WATTORA and Yotatech once I'm back from Iraq. Oh yeah- I MADE IT UP THE HILL!!
lol, thanks guys.

and I have the originals for anyone who wants them and soon Crash should hopefully have them on his web site that you can snag them from also. Someday I'll learn to resize without them looking so crappy.

Man those pics are awesome. I really need to make a trip back to the mountains. Texas is a great state and all but it doesn't quite have the scenery that you northern guys do. Thanks for sharing the pics. I love looking at them.
