Here's a few of the shots I got from the trip.  I was amazed at the scenery down in The Swell and surrounding areas.  I didn't get any of the trail wheeling, too worried about damaging my truck.  

Couple of shots from our camp at The Wedge Overlook:

Nice Brady!

That was a great trip. I think next time I try to take a fullsize truck and trailer through Black Dragon I'll invest in a set of sliders first though.

Agreed. I think I would have got through just fine w/o the running boards on. I might look into a set of sliders that can pull double duty as side steps.

Thats why I wouldn't wheel my Ford when I had it. That makes me cry a little. Either its that or the fact that I couldn't go on the trip.

Everything makes you cry a little!  No, I'm good with the pinstriping.  I don't see the point in having a truck if you're not going to use it.

Here's some pics from Copper Globe:

Primitive smelter, I think:

We ended up gashing a sidewall on the way out of Copper Globe.  Here's the ensuing Hilift lesson:

... and tire changing lesson:

It was a good trip, wish you and Andrew could have made it, you would have had fun.  It was great to meet Miles and his girlfriend, I hope they join us on more trips.  I'm going to invite lilmule and his brother over to the board too, neither has a 4Runner but I don't care, they're cool guys.

I agree that it's pointless to have a truck that doesn't get used, but to me I would use it differently. Just my opinion.

Great company on this trip! Thanks to everyone who helped out and made it a good time! I got a bunch of pics and video while wheeling on the Gopro I just need to upload. Stay tuned for further!

That means I need to find the stupid cable that keeps wandering off every time I actually need it...

It's getting there. But then you would have to ban me for not actually making the trip.

Just for the record, if you do ban me then you'll never get the pics or video. rulez
Also I did get everything loaded onto my computer and now I'm just working on stitching the good videos together and making it look good before uploading it. That is all.

I have all the raw footage loaded but this program isn't playing friendly and making it simple to put together.

Also I loaded some of my pictures onto our Facebook page since it would let me there but not here Question Question Question

And I still haven't even cleaned all the dust out of my truck yet and I need to do some more pounding to my fender wells if anyone is interested.

And I don't like day shift. That is all

I have a serious case of the "Lack of Wheeling Blues" going on. (That's a medical term). So I've been doing some extensive web wheeling while at my desk the past week or so, and have been going through Trip Reports. I've been down to the Swell just one time rock climbing (not crawling) and was really looking forward to the video that was promised in this thread. Not to re-open old wounds, but that was never posted anywhere, right? Figured I would ask.

Brad's a big flake.

I've got the Lack Of Wheeling Blues too. Somebody come do the upper ball joints on the WifeRunner for me.

Dammit! I totally am a flake. Forgive me Kevin for I have sinned. I'll work on getting that footage figured out on some of my days off this week. Stupid kitchen remodel is kicking my ass right now

I've been there all summer. My 4runner sat on jack stands for waaaaaay longer than I'm willing to admit while remodeling the kitchen this summer.
