I have a go pro, and have used it on a few runs, and can say that it is truly AMAZING. The quality from it for its size is astounding.

Scottmen-

Thanks for the link!!  I'm mulling over lift options right now to alleviate the bottoming out problem.  Hopefully I can get it sorted out for the December run!!!

John, we missed you on this run.  i think you would have enjoyed Part I and part II as I did. let's get together for a run soon..  Did you get the skids yet?  let me know on installation, the drilling can be a bear but you'd have no prob..  ..
Will check out the gopro cam..  Since I'm as modded as I plan to be before 60k I might consider the $$ on the trail run cam..  .. 
Matt, good to meet you as well. Let me know if you decide Alcan, Deaver AAL or whatever.. I'm trying to hold of on my upcoming mod list till 60k on the x (@ 19.5k now) .. so i think you've got the mod. garage covered and if you need a hand let me know. 
soo..  bumpers, 285 Mt's, steering wheel radio controls, 226 axle swap with ARB Locker (or 200ck ARB locker) (stealth more stuff??)  to follow..

ArchX-

Thanks for the offer and it was nice to meet everyone as well.  I had a great time and was pleasantly supprised that my wife enjoyed herself too.  She is not much of an off road person; she did perk up when she saw the Borrego Day Spa.  I might be able to drop her off there for the next run .

I was thinking about going with the PRG spacers and AAL until I can swing the advanced lift.

Hopefully you can make the December run.  If you haven't seen it yet, its under the general discussion tab.

Hope to see you out there!

Hey Marc, I LIKE this list of mods!  Only 41K miles to go! 

My skid project is on hold for now, more on that later.  Stoked to see what a great run this was, and kicking myself more than you know for not making it!  However, I am for sure planning on making the 17th-18th of December, hopefully that will pan out as I would hate to miss another epic SCCX run.

This is a good lift, I was able to install solo (NOT recommended) to get a little extra clearance.  However, I would go with the PRG advanced kit that Marc has installed on his rig, much better for the long term.  A few more $$$ though...

Well, I don't know how epic it will be, but it looks like there is enough interest that I'm pretty sure I'll set it up. If you haven't explored around in those washes up at the north end of the Park just south of S-22, there is some really cool stuff to see. (Roaring through there at 40mph in the dark doesn't count either - not that it isn't fun, but you tend to miss the details that way.)

It's too bad you couldn't make the Sandstone trip John.  If you haven't been there, and want to go, let me know and we'll set something up. I want to hike all the way back to the end of where we used to be able to drive to and get some photos.

Gotta love those "roaring 40's" 

Thank you Frank for the offer, right now I am just trying to carve out the time for the run on the 17th-18th.  I will for sure keep you posted.  Happy to see that Marc made it out with the group for a run, he is a great guy and loves to blur through the desert!
