Yes, thank you for asking.
A good day overall, awesome day, awesome weather, almost no one on the trail, finally saw one car at flagpole after waiting there 1+ hour, he came up from Switzer Dam. This was my first time off-roading myself in a car...I have done Moab in an ATV...I shouldn't have gone alone, at least a +1 or +1(+car) would have been ideal...
Some observations...
1. The 80 performed with aplomb, cruising at 80-85MPG and got up to mid 90's.. Near Switzer Dam, the check engine went on and I had lost my speedometer :|
2. The trails were fun, not sure they are suited for my stock GX, got a few scratches on the 80 from the bushes, got stuck a few times but those lockers..it was like cheating
3. Car kep bottoming out, not sure if my shocks are gone or it's the tow hitch/bar or both..probably both..I think the spare kept hitting, I was going a bit fast on some bumps but even when I slowed down, it hit a few times.
4. Road noise was very bad, I think the windshield needs a new seal...my noise canceling headphones came in very handy over my apple buds
5. the Viair 300p performed great, < 2 mins to refill each tire...
Now onto some upgrades...updated with smaller quality pics..initial too large.
