After running Appetizer and checking out the waterfalls on Intimidator in the daylight, Keith and I headed over to Firebird.

This was the only spot I was worried about since Keith doesn't have nerf bars.

Just barely cleared the rocker panel, I think you'll be seeing nerf bars on Keith Zuk shortly :)

I was a little worried that my light vehicle didn't have enough weight to flex the sidewalls of the Swampers.  At 8psi they flexed when needed.
