-Fun Without The Sun-

This is a compilation of a couple trips. This is by far one of my favorite hobbies. This top picture is out past saratoga springs with my "cousin in law" mike. On this trip his 4-wheel drive lever snapped off and he was stuck in 4 high. This was bad because we had a 20 mile freeway drive home, so we never got over 45mph. It was pretty funny. I had to brag about my Toyota that has a simple push button and functioned flawlessly.

These next few are up in the hills of Provo. I have been chased off of here by the sheriff a few times, but it's just too fun so I had to go back. I loved this trail because I watched a jeep Cherokee struggle and race to get up it 4 different times before backing down and watching me slowly approach and crawl right up. I was impressed with the flex of my stock suspension. Rach thinks I am weird, but I love this stuff!!

I could feel the truck teetering so I got out and this is what I saw. It was cool to me because in most cars the open differential would divert the power to the tire with the least resistance (ie. the useless one in the air), but in my case, my AMAZING Tacoma came stock with a rear locker that gives me a solid axle at the push of a button giving the same power to both wheels so it doesn't matter if one is in the air. I guess I am a little crazy, but it made me smile.

This is my favorite, because the back tire and the front are flexing in completely different directions. I was amazed that I didn't have any rubbing on the back one, because it's all the way up in the wheel well.

Of course when I see a puddle, it's a MUST!!

I was here by myself, so I jumped off the back tailgate to get out and take a picture. Getting back in was a little trickier.

I almost fell in, but I made it back in.

Well, life goes on, but you better believe, if I see any hills or puddles on the way, I will be checking them out!
