Hey all, we’re slowly approaching a fun day on the trail. Is there anything in particular y’all want to discuss?

I'm really excited for this. I'll like to discuss how to use / not use traction boards and basic communication while spotting / being spotted.
Thanks

Also, in his GX460 he installed the crawl control module and switches I believe. would be nice to chat about that... I know you mentioned whiz bang buttons. Discussion of airing down, would be nice too. Maybe how to pick lines on obstacles, etc. trail etiquette also. that's what I can think of off the top of my head.
