WONDERFUL PHOTOS MUDDERS !!!!!! OMG - That looks like too much fun. I am very jealous.

I would love your opinions. Could a LX570 do these runs with stock bumpers? I plan on getting Slee's sliders. The AHC lifts the truck 2 inches above stock (normal) height. It goes as high as my 2" OME lifted FJ100, but i am worried about approach angles.

Tony P. - I think you were the one with the drone. May I ask what kind it was? I have been looking at drones recently and i am caught between the Karma or the Mavic Pro. PS: I have never flown a drone before.

Yes, can be done with stock bumpers if you don't mind scraping and/or denting them.

It's a Mavic Pro. Neither had I. I suggest not flying it indoor for the first time. You'll crash into things multiple times and need to buy new props.

There are more but I'm too tired to upload tonight. Long day of driving! Lots more of Hells Revenge and Hells Gate which was very fun (for most of us :) )

Tony P - Get out of here! Top of the world. That is fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to answer. I'm glad you said mavic. I was leaning in that direction. There is prop guards now for indoor flight but I will still heed your advice and not perform indoor aerodynamic crash tests.
 
Top of the World is my happy place. Here's a drone video form my last time out there with my black FJC. Skip to the end if you just want to see TOTW trail fly-by footage.
 
We had long day today. Came back to town around midnight. Very difficult trails-Poison Spider, and Golden Spike. @TexAZ broke cv axle at Golden Crack. We had pull @kreiten brother's 100 series out of water. His cab was full of water. Few places we had winch everybody up. Both trails are not recommended at all for LC 200. We tested our rigs to it full limits.

Oh... Water in cab...CV...

Amazing adventure to say the least! Maybe we can have a Moab-Crew debrief lunch or something in Breck. Incredibly eventful few days on the rocks.

Yeah that was a lick. You would've had an even more interesting day without that plate too. :eek:

Ya'll dudes are awesome. So did everyone get through all those trails w/out major damage (other than CV)? What were the sections everyone needed a winch for? Lastly, and maybe most importantly but how does a 100 series find itself in a pit of water like that?

Lots of bumper damage. Tons.

Waterfall on Gold Bar is probably not possible without winching (for a 200 at least). There is a hardened winch point at the top of the obstacle just for this. My winch wiring must have came loose as it was giving me issues after I winched up on the Waterfall. I had to fiddle with it just to get up this one. Luckily, Greg was able to winch people. Kamal and I just got out of the way and kept on the trail while they winched as the area above the Waterfall is snug to say the least. And some random spot on Golden Spike required winching just for safety sake as there was a boulder you could slide into, and I did, but I slid into it with my rear tire so no damage.

As for the 100, no idea. I'm guessing he zigged when he should have zagged.

That stock rear arm point is a rare LC weakness!. When installing a BudBuilt guard a few days ago, I realized how much damage had been done previously to that spot and not from anything all that violent. BudBuilt control arm protection went on Saturday night.

No doubt and it was smart not to delay either! It's also a similar issue with the 100's as well. When I do get skids this will also be on the priority list.
