Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.

Yeah the whole thing is not full-size friendly at all. I was the odd man out in a group with all Jeeps. Yeah, there is a ledge at the end, with all the wheeling we did all day in some pretty nasty situations, this little section of trail scared the crap out of me the most. It was a washed out section about as wide as my wheel base and on my driver's side. I hugged the wall to the right as much as I could, but we hooked my right front up to a strap and kept tension on the whole time I was crossing in case my left side started to pitch over.

I know that's what I was thinking the whole time yesterday....should have done this sooner...it was hot. Let me know if you're down to go, I just would have to see when I can swing it.
