Here is a shot from a local off roading area I go to every once in a while. This pic is taken at the top of a small mountain you can climb.

And here is a pic of me and the truck, thought it was a nice shot to show the size of the rocks...Pictures with no reference don't do justice to terrain. I'm 6'5 when standing, that should show you size of the rock pretty well...

Nope, close by though. I know the area you're talking about, been up there a few times too.

Had it loaded for a bachelor party camping weekend. 4 tents n 5 sleeping bags n deep fryer n couple tables n few cnairs and lots of beer and food. Since i was in charge i figured bring it all for those that forget.

My spare typically is in the garage or on the hitch fold down but it is at bartons now for rear bumper build. Will be on rear all the time once that is done.

Went for a little wheeling with my buddy the other day, brought some friends and had dinner at the top of the mountain.
Another friend of mine got caught in the picture...probably should have waited for him to leave there before I took that one. Almost rolled it backing off of that rock cliff area, back left tire dropped down real far before the back right could match it because of the shape of the rock. My front right went straight up, one friend grabbed the right side and pulled down, the other pushed up from the left. It was too close of a call for me...definitely gonna be more safe next time.
