did you guys disconnect your sway bars for some of those climbing pics? i've gone wheeling before but not much rock crawling, so i've never really flexed it.

UZ, Yeah pixs don't really do that section (devils slide) of the trail justice it's a narrow steep off-camber uphill really dug out at the bottom with rocks followed by the waterfall then some more rocks and ditches with sandy/powdery loose terrain. Too many wheelers roll on this section by standing their rigs up on the waterfall and either torque steer too much, accelerate, or get crossed up causing them to slide a bit too much and flop over CV, Yeah what happen to you? Thought you we're going to attend, but there is always next month Most of the regulars like me have their rear sway bar permanently removed and some of us run quick front disconnects. I don't disconnect mine for this run and I don't recall anybody else that did either.

Brian, Totally awesomes pics! But you ever notice it when the driver is not behind the wheel? To me that says "Not a very tough spot if he had time to dismount". My .02. Sweet pics as usual.

sand down here is so much more forgiving, you would have to campout and wait for me to get through that. don't get to the rocks very much is all.

I will leave it at that. Jason

Cool, didn't know you were originally from up here! I feel the same way about this place unfortunatly. Too crowded, too dirty, too much traffic, nobody cares about those points (yeah I know CA has that crap too, but within a 60 mile radius of up here, you can't remotely escape that), and to go anywhere scenic, its at least a 2 hour drive (3 with traffic.) Even when you hit the end of that radius, it's stil considered a "New York Suburb." The sprawl never ends. Even to do some wheeling its almost ironic that NJAX has to *leave* Jersey in order to legally wheel Luckily with work, I can transfer anywhere in all 50 pending open positions, which are plentiful at the moment. Options are plentiful. Decisions!

Have you ever been here? The beaches are filthy. Anyway, I used to wheel a lot up in the Splitrock area. It was legal then. I don't even know what is there now. Probably houses.
