I only have a few pics. I know GTKRockeTT had quite a few pics though. I'm sure we'll see them once he's rested.
Nice Pics Tony.

Wish I ran with you guys, our group, including the lead trail team Tacoma, didn't have any cb's even, so it was a bit quiet.

Actually I think he shoulda gone a little more left, going right, his right side went up on the rocks causing his left side to droop down and his suspension compressed a little too much, and thats when he hit. Just follow the spotter and you should be good.

He might be on this forum, so hopefully he can explain better.
Ah, Second thought, I see your point. I will say one thing about my driving with a spotter, I AM A ROBOT! I don't second guess and my actions are instant. If the spotter says jump, I'll ask how high after I'm in the air. lol The spotters in my opinion are what really make possible carnage non existant, as long as you follow their signals EXACTLY! We'll I'm sure there are some exceptions to that but you know what I'm sayin right?

Re: May 10th Trail Teams Run

Our run had quite a few familiar faces! The CBs were ok. The tailgunner's CB sounded like a voice box though... A bit creepy. It was great to share a table with friends at the convention center. Met Boboso and ZenMoto for the first time.

Yea Definitely, sometimes what the spotter tells u to do, feels unnatural, but they can see whats really going on so you just gotta trust em.

Re: May 10th Trail Teams Run

It's a good idea to take walk and see it for yourself before you hop into the FJ. You'll gain more understand of why the spotter told to you do what they told you to do. Makes you more comfortable too.

Re: May 10th Trail Teams Run

Ok, here's a few picts from John Bull - Not the section that the trail teams run, they could not do the whole John Bull trail due to time limitations (had to be back for the next group) So they were running the trail up to John Bull, which still had some good parts. Me, Demello, and two others split off at the begining of the real John bull and ran the rest of the trail (took 4 hours, which is why the trail teams could not do it) Had a great time there, and the trail teams did a great job with the whole event, it's probably one of the best run events and nicest I've been to in awhile.. and the badge rocks!

Re: May 10th Trail Teams Run

4 Hours.... Jon B, Dustpark, Marty, and myself did the entire Bull loop 2.5 hours east to west. Following JB's SAS FJ is a true joy. Thanks to Toyota for a great day
