    Billy,

    I think these are the most excellent pictures we have had in all these years! How clearly you can see each obstacle. Thank you for posting these so soon for all of us to see.

    Thanks for the pictures. I'm glad we've got a few MWIOR members out there & Kasia's putting her Proton through better trails than Indiana has to offer. Wish I was there!

    Insane ! Scary ! Awesome ! List goes on and on ! I saw one VX with Toyo Proxes. Interesting how were they for such extreme off road ?

    We need to do something like this in the North East

    toyo proxies

    The toyo proxies have done just fantastic out here in Moab!!! (I think that's either Tom's or Don's... either way, the street tires I'm seeing out here have impressed the heck outta me!).

    Pbkid's VX had STOCK duelers (sp?) that were completely BALD! and did better on a few obstacles than my VX with Nitto Grapplers!!!! (proving, it's all about picking the right line!)...

    Thanks Biju,

    I have Proxes and I thought that they will be only good for street, but now I see that they can perform when needed

    Wow!

    Those are incredible shots!

    I admit, a few of them have me thinkng about the potential damage that could occur when someone bites off more than they can chew.

    But I am in awe and a lil' jealous...

    So, next year anyone wanna try live video feed via EvDO laptop card?

    Nope! Make the trip and you wont have to rely on live vid.

    You WONT be sorry.

    I agree, Awsome pics. I wanted to be there sooo bad. Hope Billy didnt scratch up his truck coming up the V notch. That looks awful darn close.

    Only a few scrapes on the cladding from gently laying on the wall on Hells Gate. Gave Larry a real good view of the rock!

    thats why i love the cladding! just a few days ago i was parallel parking when i heard the worst sound ever (CRUNCH) i got out and realized there was a tree stump that had conviently hidden itself under my windows... tore the hell out of the stump and left a very small scratch on the cladding that my friend claims im making up because he doesnt see it..
