is there anything in silver lake besides sand or hills? any offroad obstacles? I thought of going but driving around on sand doesn't sound very challenging or interesting to me?

what kind of obstacles do you want? some of the hills are really tough and there are some water holes that will swallow your truck. theres alot more to the dunes than what you see in the pics and the pics just dont do it justice. those hills are steep. dont knock it till youve been there.

Rocks, dropoffs, ledges, etc.

I've never been there but intuition tells me there's gonna be sand dunes...

Are those orange flags on front for when you are cresting over a hill people on the other side can see you?

You could make it a weekend trip OZ! there is the twisted trails off-road park, not too ridiculously far from silver lake, and it kinda fits your bill. You can make a weekend/week out of it, there are plenty of places to camp or check out the many hotel/motel's around that area.

Yea, that and bundy hill are about equally far away, I am going to start putting together spare parts soon, I'm thinking axleshafts/cv shafts front and rear, and driveshaft(s), u joints...... what else...
