Here are a few pics from my trip to Bundy Hill on 3/17/2012.

It was a beautiful day for wheeling. Started at 50* then by the time we left it was around 74*. Wasn't to muddy or to dry but there were plenty of slippery hills and rocks.

Start of the trip


Met this guy at a gas station 10 miles from the park.


This is where we met up at. Small market a mile from the park.




Shortly after we entered the park.



At this point water/mud was making the belt squeak.


My only damage was a tree didn't like me in its space so it let me know.


This was the only body damage I got. I was the tallest truck out of the four so I was the only one that didn't get any rocker panel damage.




My son had to get a picture of me. Not to bad but where I had maxed out the suspension I didn't get any pics.


Towards the end of the day we all posed for pics.










In these pics you can see that I was the only one with the most flex in the front.

I have a few videos on YouTube I will post on here later. Plus my son has pics in his camera i will get later.
Also Dan's girlfriend took a few videos of me doing a hill climb along with other pics.

Sampson was the one with the Mazda B3000. He had sway bars front and back cranked tbars and beltech shackles 31"? Goodyear duratracks and he had no problem going through the stuff we went through.

I had a disadvantage cause of my wheelbase. A lot of 3 and 4 point turns.

This was Warn Valley. It was a level 4. Supposed to be the hardest trails.



This rock here is what killed the rocker panels on both the black ranger and Mazda.


When this happened, I was in front of Sampson about 50' or so and I heard it.





KyleM went through this last year and I remember seeing a video of him struggling. They need to add more rocks in places to make it more interesting
