Basically its a huge, gotta be over 250 acres of land that seems to be abandoned. Dirt trails run all over the place. And that place above is right in the center of the property and a zillion fig trees were de-rooted leaving almost vehicle sized craters everywhere.

I talked a bit about this place in my Project thread, so here are the pics of the place. We drove around a bunch and found numerous cliffs, dirt drop offs, steep side hills, a canal that's dry and you can drive through it, numerous huge mud pits - some are shallow and others look pretty deep. :nerv:

My truck did pretty well for open in the front. I pulled the e-motor off of my rear locker and slid the fork over to engage it. It'll be nice once I get the locker wired in.

Tim's truck, aka Flam'n Toy, did amazingly well for stock suspension, street 29s, and a crazy maniac behind the wheel. He is welded in the rear and has a lock-rite in the front.

I got into a couple of nasty positions where I couldnt go forward because im open in the front and Tim went right through it. So I would just use 3rd gear in a single 4.70 case and MAN! this engine is nice to wheel with. It revs so smoothly and has sooooo much power for 4-wheeling. I can do 4WD burnouts while moving in 4th gear single 2.28:1 at 40MPH. Its power on demand basically.

Here are some crazy small videos of Tim and a couple of me. If you've got some minuets to burn, enjoy. :thumbs:

Yeah it looks really boring but I had alot of fun regardless. Not to bad for something to do within city limits. And no one was around, its far from any roads, so we've got nothing to worry about. :thumbsup:

And besides its my first real test of my vehicles 4WD system :yupyup:
