Welcome to our slide of MUD. Hope you can make the tree run.
Welcome Rokwell, looking forward to meeting you. Two engineers in the family. Your poor wife
I am the one with the son at NMtech. his truck is far from done. I went into the office at work and now have no time to work on it (Project 16). welcome you two! the snow run can be dirt roads or monster chaos. it rarely seems to be the middle. this is 2003.
for the record, that is the worst it gets...or has gotten.
By a long shot.for the record, that is the worst it gets...or has gotten.
Shawn, you're not supposed to show the 'worst' picture to prospective new members.
I know, right?
Hi Ethan's dad! I'm Noah's mom. 
He has a tundra, as well. My husband and I are introverts as well. I've been on here about a year but only met a couple of the members in person. I think it will be a fun outing, especially since we have a little bit of snow! Hope Ethan can join us. See you next week!

guess I'm possibly
. I would really like to get out this winter. I miss snow wheeling and the 4runner should be set up really well for it. I do recommend the snow runs for new members. I always learn a bunch about different aspects of wheeling. and I'm an old(er) timer...

We're good with a little challenge and are no strangers to off-camber shenanigans. We don't go snow wheeling much but get a lot of practice when we drive the 1/4 mile unpaved road to our house in the winter. It's a steep slog, about 150' elevation gain, and we usually get more than 12" a few times a year. Also have lots of practice recovering stuck vehicles - at least a couple of vehicles slide off the road each year. We aren't experienced snow wheelers but we probably have a decent foundation.
Also, don't let Ethan's age fool you, he ran Imogene Pass the day after he got his learners permit at age 15 and has run over a dozen moderate to difficult trails in Moab. He's the real deal.
Looks like we're all in for this weekend; looking forward to finally making it to one of your events!

Looks like we're out for this weekend. With my sister visiting and having to meet with the builder at 10:30 on Saturday, there's just no way to make it. Maybe some folks would be interested in a repeat in a week or two?
Bummer. Ethan and I have a lot of time off around the holidays, let us know what you have in mind.

Man that was an epic recovery. That was 2011 IIRC. The years are blending now. Kit never did psychologically recover from that. Car Crafters rebuilt it IIRC and then Kit left the LC world, right?
Yeah, he pretty much got out of it after it got fixed and sold. I'm glad I didn't make that one either. Not sure I would have recovered from it even as a bystander.
Speaking of being retired, how much longer before your better half can retire and you guys can move back here?
14 long years Marc.
You'll be retired too!Though we intend to spend a lot of time in the SW between now and then.
