A big thanks to everyone

I shouldn't really mention it, but Scotty once had to pull my Patrol of a dune I was crested on :( He's got a Tojo FJ Cruiser !

Done. Great shot amongst quite a few others.

I could take shots like that, if it wasn't for my total lack of skill and ability :)

good looking rig mate

It's not mine, belongs to a guy I know (Jjamel). I've driven it though, it rocks on sand - so much torque. It's got a Manual Transmission and it just rocks, goes almost everywhere, but is vulnerable to cresting when the lack of articulation can be a problem.
Honestly I don't know which I prefer.
The Y62 goes everywhere and can climb dunes that my 4.8 fails on - there's always another way to the top though :)
The Y61 is a much stronger car and (I think) has better feel. I think it needs more skill to drive well in sand and is a better judge of driver ability - ultimately the Y61 is more rewarding.

I try to remind myself of this when I'm still at the bottom of the dune and he's at the top. :(
