Sampson was the one with the Mazda B3000. He had sway bars front and back cranked tbars and beltech shackles 31"? Goodyear duratracks and he had no problem going through the stuff we went through.

I had a disadvantage cause of my wheelbase. A lot of 3 and 4 point turns.

This was Warn Valley. It was a level 4. Supposed to be the hardest trails.



This rock here is what killed the rocker panels on both the black ranger and Mazda.


When this happened, I was in front of Sampson about 50' or so and I heard it.





KyleM went through this last year and I remember seeing a video of him struggling. They need to add more rocks in places to make it more interesting

That picture was the first time I messed it up in the rut you told me not to go in.

That rock finished it off and made it worse lol.

WTF? Had a guy tell me this morning I ruined my truck. I said huh? He said it ruined, look at all the scratches sown the side. It used to look like a show truck. I said it still looks nice, I didn't build it to crawl around the mall. He said what is mall crawling? I said nevermind.
LOL.
