May 12th Box Canyon ATTEMPT to camp pictures :) - 13/05/07 11:08 AM

Here are a few pictures I took during our escapade.



Trying to un-modify a bumper.



Chiseling at the rocks.







Will it clip? Not this time smile



The end... time to camp out. If we only were in the right place and had the rest of the people with us!


In case we weren't having enough fun, pluvo's X blew a tire. Thank fully we had some scorpions to help us out with replacing it.

And a couple more.



X parking



Here is the picture of the rest of the Xterras... Can you see them? In the right corner? Small dots? Well, neither could we, actually.

I took a few pics before we got caught up in trying to get caught up.



At first I thought it looked 'wrong' without the roof rack, but it grew on me. IIRC, Mark is planning on a Calmini style rack similar to Dan's old one.





Obligatory scenery shot.



In some spots, the walls were close enough to reach out & touch.



You can see just how close in the spot mirror.



Mark did a great job as spotter, as well as jacksman & tire changer. I wonder if he cooks & cleans too...

That's the dirty summamabitch that ate my tire. I avoided it on the way in to the crack, but I must've spun it around while backing out & caught the sharp end.

Heck, in exchange for great spotting, I will cook and clean myself! I could always blame my tires, but with some of the lines I was taking, there was no way I would get out un-"modified" without some great spotting.

I did do 40-50 up one wash looking for everyone. To no avail unfortunatly.

Good pics dude! Thanks for posting 'em up. When you get sliders and tires I will be more than happy to accompany you back out there. When it cools off of course...little warm from here on out.

A little tug to the side


Well... The camera person owns that truck... So I don't know who is pulling me off the rock smile


Free at last with a little help of course.

Ok... So the biggest newbie out there was Sheila, my girl. This was her first trip driving her new truck that required a 4x4. The truck is 3 weeks old (oh... and my X was only 1 week). See... The bolder that I got stuck on, she got over it like a pro. I Guess I need more practice. laugh

Ouch... That was close... I lost paint on this rock. With the help of some spotters and a couple rocks piled up she cleared this with nothing to spare.


Ok... So we thought the bypass was the harder path... Guess we were wrong.


A little side by side action


Man I can't wait till my sliders get in... Doesn't he make this look easy.


Look what we found under the flat tire that had the truck sitting on it for a good 20 minutes. And he was still wanting to fight.

I swear this isn't the same truck twice laugh

Yep it sure needs a lift smile Any suggestions? I'm looking at the AC Mega Crawler Package... But the price tag stings.

But we have to pay off the armor that's on order first, well that and furniture we bought when we got our first house in January.

So hopefully that will be her Xmas present. She did end up breaking off part of the light kit on the tow bar too.
