I got so used to the lifted look that even stock looks lowered now.
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

I had to take the day off because our daycare was closed, so I decided to take the kids to a local ORV park. We were very conservative on our trail choices, but we had fun just the same.

The pics were taken by my 8 year old daughter

Gave the oil pan skid a little test. A radiator skid probably wouldn't have hurt either

My buddy Chris always seems to pass up the fun trails. I got out and took the pic while waiting for him to turn around.

He's a terrible photographer...usually takes video of the ground. I need new friends. :P

Here's the top of the hill once he finally showed back up.

Someone move closer to me so all my shots don't have to be posers. :oops:

Some Malibu offroading!

Went to a spot off Deer Creek, on the cliffs right near the beach, and this time I had camera and cameraman! I think these are some of the nicest pics I have of the TB. Enjoy!

You don't think those deserve their own thread? Nice shots!!! I love the cut on the front bumper too, looks great!

Some of those are certainly calendar worthy.

No real trip report to go with them yet, just a few minutes of wheeling off of the PCH. I'll go back and get a thread up though.

On my way back from a trail run. I thought I would try to get the Vegas Strip as a backdrop
