Great pics as always, very jealous.

On your pic No room for error, 5th from the bottom, looks like your ARB bumper gave that rock a kiss!


Wasn't sure about ARB bumpers anymore, but man it looks good on Lil Nemo!

Are you running any type of adapter or spacer for the spare to fit on Lil nemo? I'm gettin my 35" MTRK's friday and i'm wondering if I'm gonna need anything extra to mount my 5th.

Great shots

You guys picked a perfect weekend, the weather couldn't have been any nicer
Didn't look crowded either
thanks! the weekend was outstanding especially being so late in the year. from what i hear, the tahoe area saw record temps about 20° warmer than average. although, i hear there's a chance of snow tonight. totally crazy weather

oh yeah, we gave the front and rear bumpers and rocker guards a good beating. the bumper did great and with the exception of some minor scratches, still look good. while the rockers did their job, they kinda look like what they got - a beating.

yeah, i had an extra wheel spacer and am using it to make the spare work with the factory wheels. without it, you cannot mount it onto the tailgate.

It's been said many times but it looks amazing out there, so beautiful.
I'm truly jealous. Looks like it was an awesome time. Also being able to watch Mel make his way through Little Sluice would be something quite fun to watch in my opinion too!

in addition to being challenging, it really is a pretty trail.
