It is one of the more challenging sections of bobcat, especially for a SWB vehicle. I can do it when it's dry in the 80, but at times have to lock in the rear diff.

I'm thinking about going and running the new optional trail at around 2pm today, if any of you are interested in going.

I post one picture to show the trail has changed a bunch over the last year of me trying to worry my buddy's g/f (who was behind the wheel while I was taking pictures) and I get a driving lesson?

Two questions:
1. How can you tell that I need help behind the wheel from a picture of someone else driving (seriously what gave me away? I'm "that guy" and no one but the people there can believe I broke what I did or got stuck where I did)

2. How come Ary posts dozens of pictures and gets two comments while everyone else makes fun of me? I'm going back to teh 60 series section where my truck's disassembled in driveway... much safer

Yes, hood is custom. Trying to fix an over heating issue, which this ride suggested was a bad guage then later turned into mulitple over heating problems while blowing off a lower radiator hose...

The forest service made some sweet jump on the top of bobcat at the end of the summer. So the upper part is not quite so boring anymore.

The lower part is pretty nasty when everything is wet. I know there have been a couple flops.
