I'll take you guys on a quick tour with some pics. It's difficult to capture the elevation, grade, and magnitude of this place.

Warming up the motor and heating up the tires



First hill climb on grass



5 over crest



Surface: hard beaten sand, rocks, parts of trees. Difficult to climb as the sand frowns upon wheel speed, aim for rocks and sharp edges for grip



Lots of canyons to climb and navigate up and down





There's a lot of ways to climb to the top, only limited by your skills ...and weight



Very steep grades, be prepared to sidehill and spin all fours struggling for grip









Some nice scale crawling to calm your a$$ down after jimmying your rig up a 20 foot hill on 3 wheels





Up close you can see the definition of the terrain







Allow me to blow your mind.

This is why the pictures don't do this place justice.

From the top:



From the bottom:





If you don't break a sweat going across these crests there's something wrong with you





Up closer of what the surface composition



Nice and easy



Chasing away a giant moster



Dirt, roots & sticks



Dry and tough as a rock, minimal wheel spin once you dust of the surface



Bottoms of the hills let your stretch your suspension setups muscles





If none of that interests you, have some black top to crawl on, extremely high grip surface, test those shocks out and see where your Center of Gravity limits you







Want some rocks? Tarmac slabs. Nuff' said.







Feeling ambitious



Random formations and spots to crawl on

On the way back












This would be a great condidate for a safari run. Bring your tow straps, winches, pull pals, stakes and everythiung else you've got! It's team work that will conquer this one.

Disclaimer: Everything has been driven to with this heavy a$$ rig, no assistance from the giant.
