Here are some pix of the run. We had a great day. No major breakdowns. One tire bead was lost by a Taco. I dented up my skid plates good in a couple of spots (they were new when I went in there). Would have sheared off a plate bolt if I hadn't welded on a bolt protector. It took the brunt of the hit. Only sheared off the top of the bolt. The 3rd pic is my rear diff plate. You can see the 3/16 steel is dented. Glad I bought that thing. Would have been my a** if it wasn't there.

We had a total of 6 vehicles. Four frontiers (my 2004 was the oldest and the only 1st generation) a locked Toyo Taco and a jeep yj. Here's the pix starting off with a sequential 3 wheel action shot.
The last pic is my buddy in front of me at the same spot

We got stuck behind an old bronco with an exo cage on trail J1. His panhard bar axle side mount broke.

We were all over the park. Can't wait to go back. I can truly appreciate having a guide that has been there before. 
Nice hairy spot.

Sweet bro! I remember some of those areas. I also remember jamming my diff down a couple times on some hidden rocks... makes you cringe a little.
Time to relax the butt cheeks a bit eh?
