    Last weekend on North Padre Island. Had some fun stretches of soft, loose sand that actually used the 4WD. And after a few hours on the beach I was as red as the 4Runner, lol.

    Used to make yearly treks to Ouray back in my jeeping days. I've done most of the passes around Lake City, Silverton, Telluride, and Ouray. I need to get back up there...

    Went down to Sardis Lake just north of Oxford yesterday. Lake is WAY up. I actually figured the lake would be down a good bit. Even the spillway going to Oxford was open at full force. But was a nice summer day to get out and kill a day. :)

    Where did you get those fenders? Are they expensive? Hard to install? Can you share your thoughts and links to where you purchased them? Thanks!!
