It’s pretty cool if you go all the way back to the Book Cliffs and try to stay along them.
We bailed on this drop in the pic below and took a bypass. It was about 45 degrees pitch and probably 50 feet high.
We didn’t run into anybody - it was sort of a redneck Baja Fins ‘n Things run where you just headed in a general direction at each fork.
There’s narrow sketchy stuff with super soft shoulders and crazy steep drops and climbs. Not like anything I’ve ever wheeled.

And of course way too much opportunity to act like a teen with the teens.
You can drive anywhere - no stay the trail, but be damn careful where you venture as some of it is way softer than it looks and you can dig in quickly at bad angles.

Glad to meet you!
Had my chrome wheels de-blinged. Time for paint.
Yea the desert is fun there is trail out there they call the snake goes through washout with lots tippy spots and climbs. They are adding new trails and re opening some stuff, one will go from bangs all the way to 149 and connect in to all that stuff. One that just open is connector trail, makes Billings look easy it’s prob about 300 yards long of serious buggy stuff, pretty fun ride through it in a F toy
Worked on my 18 wheeler, had to fix the rear bumper on my Reitnouer trailer. Got to use my bottle Jack. Turns out its not a toyota one. Who knows what the hell the previous owner did with it.
Didnt have time to install the Aux fan kit I got from @LandCruiserPhil but I used the hell outta the gullwings. Even with the tailgate and hatch open, some things are just easier to reach from the side. Oh yeah, you can see the bottle jack attachment I got from Phil too.

Made a tilt slide
Spent the past 6 days on a 1,600 mile roadtrip. First part of the trip was in Creede hanging out with my friend and his family for the Memorial Day weekend. It was fairly quiet up there and the closest thing to offroading we did was going up to look at all the mines which were super pretty.
From there we headed over to Crested Butte where we camped for a night and just sorta explored. We went up pearl pass a ways and would have kept going if I was smart and put more gas in it before we left. We made it up to 11,000 feet and there was ZERO snow to be seen anywhere remotely close to being on the trail. It was very dry but I’m sure there is one drift somewhere making it umpassable right now but it was amazingly dry from what we saw.
Then we headed over to grand junction a day before meeting up with @Nay. We camped up on the National Monuemnt 3 nights in total and once Nay and my buddies showed up we went to the BLM land and 21 road.
Very disappointing my CDL was working in Crested Butte but of course when I really needed it it goes out. No towing required or body damage suffered either day but it made the trail wayyy harder then it needed to be and made the new locker basically worthless. On that note any ideas on what to trouble shoot? You can hear the actuator working away and I pulled the CDL sensor/switch off the T-case to clean but I don’t know what the next step should be. Where we camped in Crested Butte to get to camp there was a water crossing up to the bottom of the doors so I’m not sure if water got somewhere it wasn’t supposed to or what. Any help would be appreciated. None the less, super fun trip.

Painted my rims Satin Black and add my my Clubs name to my Trasharoo. Finishing up little projects before Rubithon 2018.
Today I installed a second battery tray in the 96. I found the pictures in this thread to be very helpful getting me started in my trimming job.

Took the kayaks up to a local lake for a shakedown before heading to AZ for a week on Lake Powell.
