    Definitly keep me informed.... I would like to meet up with others some time.... I have done some of the moderate trails in CO. Several 4x4's ago, my Isuzu Amigo and I did about 20 trails over about 2 to 3 years. Our VX is almost trail ready again, summer projects.

    And then we wont mention my 'bad driver mistake'

    The road we were on was washed out on the right, and I had the pups with me, so I decided to straddle the wash out rather than get the car tippy and toss the dogs around, and of course mis judged the width of my runner. Next thing I know the front end is going down, but the trail is still going up...uh oh, slid off the edge. I was lucky enough to have a grouping of trees on the right, hit the brakes and stopped before whitneys door plowed the pines. Jon came to the rescue with his awesome VX and MTRS. Pulled the yota back to safety. Didnt know it at the time, but I was definately resting against a tree with the right rear 1/4 panel, as my bumper has a pretty nasty tree rash, but the car is untouched :-D

    Thank god for extra wide rear bumpers haha
