Knappster is right...mine is stock. I ran all of the trails on the days we ran, including Black Bear and did just fine (sans an occasional test of the skid plates). I did have some unrelated tire issues, though...including an embarrassing moment of trying to show off, running over a piece of metal, and busting a two day old tire! Doh!
DAY FIVE / YANKEE BOY BASIN & IMOGENE PASS:
Off Road Miles = 31.1 / Total Miles Driven: 136.1
Sorry it took so long to get these pictures up but we were having too much fun driving to stop and mess with posting pictures (the web access here is sooooooooooo slow).
Day five was very cloudy, there were some times as you will see in the pictures that we could barely see in front of us.

On the way home we took a look down at the river and as you can see it was not running clear.
This was the afternoon when ped4599 went one way and RMC & Knappster went another due to the weather.
