Some pictures taken today. Most are of soccerbrace's X, you can catch mine in the back of maybe one of them, mine's all stock though. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3133.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3130.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3129.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3127.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3124.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3121.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3120.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3111.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3108.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r122/nickigl/China%20Wall%20Off%20Road/IMG_3104.jpg

Alright, so after invitation in 5 different websites, I get 1 (one, uno, un, zero + uno) pther Xer to come along. Nick drives a stock 06 X and handled everything pretty easily. Here are some pics of what you didn't do....
So we were driving along like this......

And while driving, I see this guy.....

Following this guy......

and I say to guy 1, you wanna go wheelin?
Guy 1 was like"pullover" I said, "no, it's a cardigan but thanks for noticin." So we pull into the gas station and guy 1 is actually named fred, but I was calling him Greg, and guy 2 was named Mike, but I was calling him Mark.
We head to the trail head....

Mike (aka Mark) and I tackled this rock obstacle...

and I went way too slow through this mud hole plus I high centered (obviously) but I was the only one to try

This is the after mud...

Thanks for meeting up Nick! It was great meeting you and I look forward to hanging out again and modding your truck!
In Nick's defense, he was completely stock and only had 1/8" tread on stock tires. He did great and did not get stuck once the whole time.....
Must be the driver ; )
Thanks for posting those nick!!!!-James
