Impressive, but living proof that jeep guys aren't as fun as we are. None of us will live that long (we don't "tread lightly" on the fun):

You need a bigger fire to burn all that sh!t. Hang on for a bit and be ready to take notes.
 
The clouds are getting darker and closer. We get a few sprinkles at the lunch stop, but nothing materializes. These clouds will taunt us for the rest of the day - we are heading directly toward them.
 
We pass through another off-camber technical spot that additionally has some giant holes that must be dodged.

After a while we reach another mesa

...and we are going to drive down into it somehow.

We are at a pre-historic oxbow and if we follow the shelf roads down the side of the cliff, we can supposedly reach the shores of Lake Powell, where we are convinced that there are boats full of bikini-clad babes awaiting our arrival with umbrella drinks.

If you squint, you can almost make out the college girls frolicking on the beach.
 
So, close your eyes...


...and imagine you are rolling 8 trucks deep down a loose, steep shelf road, with a few ledges and rock crawling obstacles. With a 100' drop a few inches to the side to a switchback below and another 100' drop below that. And the road is barely wide enough to drive down, let alone choose a line when you come across an obstacle. And forget about trying to turn around if you came to a dead end...

...right next to a washed out spot that has loose rocks filled in...
 
Well, you're gonna hafta turn driver just "a little bit more" :grinpimp:

 
So Drew comes up to me and says "Hey man", I stop gawking at the huge abyss below and set my camera down for a second, thinking he's going to say something about lunch.
"So I got good news and some bad news, whatchya want first?"

"Hit me with the bad news" I say...

he starts off; "Well, we think WE can make it, but if YOU CAN'T, then we will all turn back, but we think you might have a few inches to spare, since you have spacers on, your'e the widest truck."
me: "Oh?, What's the good news?"

Drew: "You get to go first!"
 
We are entering a Stage II EPIC ALERT LEVEL at this point.
