Ran some trails in Anza Borrego state park. Included calcite mine trail.
Video to the point where my toddler (3 years old) decided the hill was too scary so we stopped and explored the canyon.

Wasn't this weekend but earlier in the week I installed some OME shocks and replaced my worn rear hatch struts.

What did you think of noob paradise?
Great video, much appreciated! When you are working all the time and cannot go wheeling, videos like this are a nice outlet. Your 3 year old is pretty smart. You could have done that trail but it was going to be scary!
Man that place looks damn fun yet intense! You have a locker(s) correct? I think I remember you saying last time you went to Anza Borrego you didn't have to use your lockers...how about this time around? That 10:00 mark on your vid looked a little tricky.
Thanks for the vid
definitely helps me to know what to expect when I decide to take a trip there!
Geologist Cabin near Striped Butte in Butte Valley (Death Valley National Park near Mengel Pass) and an abandoned mine on the 4x4 road to Darwin Falls.
Finally got around to fixing the passenger seat gears/end caps, and it only took one try! Now my chick can finally move the seat to her comfort level 
I had some mobile 1 synthetic red grease left over from a front axle rebuild. Probably not the best grease to use but it's all I had
. I guess I'll have to wait and see how how well it works out.

It was fun, but I thought the easy trails were way too easy. I will need to check out the medium difficulty level trails next time. Oh and I got yelled at dirt bikers because I wasn't paying attention to the sign and accidentally went on the ATV/dirt bike trails where 4x4 was not allowed. lol

Doh! Yeah you gotta pay attention to the trail maps. Some of those bike tracks are so narrow that all you do is pinstripe the hell out of your truck. Recognize the call signs too. They aren't saying "peace", they are saying there are two more behind that rider.

These video and all other supercool photos of awesome places on the Western part of the country are offensive to me and should be removed, since we on the Eastern side do not have them and I can't drive them on a weekend.
A few weeks back when we were out on the saddleback mouthains on a particularly technical downhill stretch (for me anyway) my 9 year turned and said "pappa, is your heat beating real fast just now"...no s*** - at that precise moment we were on 3 wheels and perilously close to a rather steep drop.
Not that I planned it but I changed out my rear rotors and pads. My options were dualast gold pads and dualast rotors. Not my brand of choice but not many options on a Saturday afternoon in this neck of the woods. Also took the opportunity to flush the brake fluid. I have a feeling the old stuff was original.
I didn't see any "bed in" advice in the FSM so I assume the normal "no heavy braking" for a few hundred miles applies.

• Installed a new winch (less the synthetic line that was missing)
• Intalled a new CD player with blue tooth and satellite and New 5.25" speakers in the doors
• Removed mid-pipe and had it welded up where it was cracked.
• Installed an in-dash cup holder
To come this week:
• Install new lift gate handle and latch mechanism (old one is rusted pretty badly)
• Install Slee step sliders
• Install new center console latch
• Repair rear side window vent/louver
• Have two new OEM Toyota keys cut
