Here is a sneak preview loaded while on the way home. We divided into a few groups, so I only have action shots of three trucks.

Here are the pictures from today. I think James just held down the shutter button for the whole day! If you move through them fast, it almost looks like a video!

Same here... Won't let me into my own profile, even... Logged out and back in, same thing...

Might take several hours for a mod to look over new usernames to give permission?

I think it takes a bit. The thread is in the great lakes staging area. Not sure if have to ask extra permission for there but it is about the only place I post but I got a couple hundred posts there. That is about half of the guys from there i wheel with.

I registered last night at 8pm and am still waiting for permission. I know one of the guys in our group has some pictures that I want. I am looking forward to getting in to be able to see them.

How about posting pictures here for those of us who don't want to join there?

Badlands is on my list of things to do this summer.

He was at the 4x4 jamboree too. His setup is quite similar to mine. Got his rad skid installed at badlands

I will post some tonight. I stole several and have them in my photbucket to post.
