We had an awesome, amazing and outstanding time this last weekend. There were seven trucks in total. 3 80's, 1 100, 2 4runner's, and an LX470.

The weather was perfect all day long and no smoke was visible at all. We were able to run all three passes, Italian Creek, Pearl Pass and Taylor Pass with only a few minor issues. We had an issue with a yellow box affecting a speedo and I developed a leak in an old power steering line which caused all of the fluid to dump out of my reservoir about every half mile or so.

Here is a video I put together of the run. Enjoy!

Yeah, it was a great time with a great bunch of people!

During the course of the day we...

Tamed a bear:

Did a little wrenching:

And soaked up the great weather:

More pictures to come as I'm still sorting through them all.

Again, really, really good time. I'm glad this finally got to happen!

Was a fun trip and sorry to not finish the third leg, but had to attend a family event in Aspen after we got done with Pearl Pass. Was happy that the 100 could keep up with the 80s. My new rear Locker really helped with some of the trickier stretches. Gorgeous weather and fun to go with some veterans.

Any hints about how to keep the photos from losing their original orientation?

Great weekend. Good to see everybody and with no serious breakdowns. Would buy a Triple by-pass T shirt.

How are you inserting the images?

I'm clicking this icon here:
insert image.PNG


And then I click inside the "Drop image" area and it lets me choose the image from whatever source. I usually save the image to my local drive first and then grab it from there. Then I just hit "Post Reply"

I usually use the attach files button below to insert photos. That or I will copy and paste.

Using the attach files button is how I encountered the problem. Will try the photo icon and see if it is still the same issue.

thanks!

It’s one where photos just can’t do it justice...

Every direction you looked that day was a view worth capturing and why not show a fuel tank.

Thoughts on this for a T-shirt graphic? I've never designed a shirt or any graphic for that matter.
Also, not sure if the elevations are correct. I'm going off Gaia.
