Does look like you guys found the mud. Looking forward to the pictures!

Here is a couple of photos that one of the drivers took of me posing. I have some on my phone, but they just show the carnage of what my truck looked like after the run. lol

 

[H3DONIST]

double post :huh:

Where are the rest of the pics?! The two I've seen so far make me believe that there was some good wheeling that day.

 

[Paladine71]

Here are some pics, with more coming soon. I haven't had a look at the video yet.

Nice! A couple of the Toyotas looked like they could use some different tires.

Wish I could have made it. Looks like you could have used a sacraficial H2 to test the depth of some of those mud ruts. I think you three represented well!

 

[Paladine71]

Okay, the videos turned out great. I have 122 minutes recorded and need to figure out how to edit and post up on YouTube, both of which I've never done before. Anyone have pointers?

Are you trying to create one or two movies? If so, Windows Movie Maker can be a decent (and free) starter application. Watch this:

Looks like you had some well equipped rigs along for the trip. Glad you guys had a great time and made some new wheeling buddies!

Please, more PIX people! I really want to see the FJs on street tires in the thick mucky stuff. Any STRAPPING pix would be great also!

 

[Paladine71]

Working on the videos now. Thanks for the help, Alex. Here is what I had to wash off today...

 

[Chastan]

I think I know that color, "Cliff's Kahaki"

 

[H3nightrod]

Those are great. Need video!!!!!

 

[3Hummers]

James, 122 minutes of video could play in theaters. LOL

 

[Paladine71]

I'll get rid of the boring crap and make a video or two of the highlights. Unfortunately, my GoPro recorded in MP4 format, so now I have to convert it to AVI so Windows Movie Maker will work with it. :gaah:

I hope to have something up by tomorrow night. It's slow going, I can't even edit it until I convert the whole file. :gaah::gaah:

Press the upload button on the top of the screen near the search button. Once you get to the upload page under the uploader there is a place that says "Basic Uploader", click that and videos seem to upload faster for me no matter how new the computer is. Then one you pic the file you edited it will start to upload. IT will say how long it will take and usually it takes longer. If you leave your computer on and to tell it to never sleep you should be able to get everything done in a day. You can upload multiple files at once so id just say to start all of them and tell your computer to never sleep so it can finish by the end of the day:thumbs:

Sorry for my not so good instructions:gaah:

Cant wait for videos:corn::corn:

Just to let you know: Download a trial version of Adobe Premeire elements and it accepts MP4 files and you can edit it:mock:

 

[M22KLARS]

That stock lookin' FJ looks like it probably didn't handle all that mud very well... Everything else looks great! :thumbs:

Here are some pics from Sunday at the Cliffs

The Toyo 4 runner was playing on the rocks and got hung up, blew his LF tyre and destroyed his rear drive shaft. So we assisted. He got wedged in tight so we had to move some rocks first.

 

[Paladine71]

Here are a few more random pics...

An action sequence from a steep hill...

I'm still working on the video. I've trimmed out the boring stuff and just have to edit the rest together and finalize it.

Looks like great fun and a good mix of trucks!
