Great pictures - thanks to all for letting me join up and wheel. My little black Jeep looks like a baby lined up with you guys!

Note - I have yet to un-pucker from that hill.

I don't blame you for the pucker. My sphincter was over reacting just watching you

I was at the bottom snapping pics and had an "oh ****" reaction watching. Made my decision to not go up that side. Have the conditions changed since Craig's episode, first time I've seen this hill.....

Well, i was trying to upload some pics on here but they are thumbnail size when I tested them. I decided to go with a more gritty cartoonish style on these images... we showed up late and caught up towards the end but we still managed to get a few shots of the hill climb. I will post a link for now. It is 100% safe, it's through 500px.com. http://500px.com/AlanCarrillo1/sets Once Again I want to say thanks for letting us join you guys. It was a great time!!! I will keep trying to figure out the image thing in the test section.

wow owlxxx the photos look amazing!!! what do you use to edit ? and if i recall you had a nikon right?
Thanks, I use lightroom and shoot raw. yes it was a nikonD7000 but get this, My brother actually shot these and it was his very first time using a DSLR I was busy driving. He didn't do too bad but his exposures were abit off so that's why I decided to go with that style of processing.

well jpeg is not bad but raw just gives you more wiggle room to adjust the info that the camera captures. so instead of letting the camera process the image, you do it in lightroom.

Everyone's rig look freaking awesome hopefully one day my panzer is as equipped as your guy's rig. because as of right now me and my wife agreed that it looks tiny compared to your guy's rig, as well thanks to the guys that took and upload pics of my Panzer i appreciate that, I was a little bumped that I didn't have the chance to take that many pics.

I have some pics to put up yet. As far as what your truck looks like, I ran mine with 33s and no roof rack for quite a while. You would be surprised how much of the off road ability comes from the driver. Then again, Hummers are just awesome trucks! Just do a little at a time and enjoy!

Funny you mention the UCP . . . my video camera caught you doing an inspection on your truck after taking the v-nootch bypass.

Yeah, I would recommend UCP and rock rails if you are going to continue to play with us. I would also recommend a set of Hunner skids for both the spring hanger and shock towers.

Seems like the hill is a piece of cake or a real pain in the ass. I think I'm a natural born hill climber, as for big rocks I'm still working on those :giggle:

oh yeah I did just to make sure everything was fine, and I'll definitely look on getting the UPC, rock rails, and the hunner skids for starters, hopefully I can have that installed for next time we wheel.
