Spent Thanksgiving weekend wheeling in Moab.
Ran Metal Masher on Friday, Rusty Nail on Saturday.

There were 10 Toyotas in the group Saturday, evenly split between pickups (and my one Tacoma) and 4-Runners. Everyone but my poor Tacoma was solid axle and on 35s or larger.

Thanks!

The snow was crazy. My buddy (with the white exo'd Runner) and I had a snowball fight, and then started throwing snowballs at random windows.
Ahh, good times.

My first trip to Moab in October was the first in my life, and my first wheeling outside of Alaska.
Too much fun, and it's so much cleaner than Alaska wheeling.

Whenever you guys are in the area give me a hollar. We have a good club here.

I get a little crazy down there, though. The truck is starting to suffer.

Yeah, I was thinking to myself, "I'm living the dream," when sitting in the hottub at Motel 6 after running Rusty Nail trail.

Never thought I'd be playing in Moab while going to college.

Thanks!

It looks good in some ways, bad in others, LOL. I love the stance and look of the gunmetal wheels on the black truck, but the frontend damage is getting annoying, and I need to drop some $$$ on fender flares to keep the cops happy.

Are you coming down again next year?

There's gonna be a big crew I know from Alaska stopping by on a national tour in September, around the 9th.

Ahh, nice weather, though I would be in hell. This summer in AK it was 80+ degress with 60-70% humidity and I was constantly on the verge of passing out, LOL.

Some friends and I were visited by a little blonde chick in Moab, at the Motel 6, who said she was moving to Tuscon for beauty school. She flashed us some damn nice T and A. Tuscon is a great deal larger than Moab, but keep an eye out for her, LOL.

You take care, too.

We met Megan and saw some "things," but her shorter friend is the one that gave the big show.
