In light of the fact that I've only had my Land Cruiser three weeks, and I mostly go out alone, I thought it was a good idea to get some training in off-roading. So I signed up for Tom Severin's Off Road Driving clinics. I took his Basic Driving Clinic and his Advance Basic Driving Clinic last Saturday and Sunday. They were given at the Hungry Valley State Vehicle Recreation Park and outside of Mojave, California. I learn alot and gained alot of confidence, and am amazed at what the Land Cruiser will do.
I only have pictures from the Advanced Basic Class. There were six of us, and two instructors.
Here we are doing some recon on a downhill section. There a big rock that doesn't show up well in this picture.
Before the class, I would have attempted this section. Here, I'm taking pictures because I've already made it through.
On the trail rides Saturday and Sunday afternoon we climbed some steep hills that I never would have attempted before this course. The Land Cruiser took them in stride.

Yeah, a lift, some BFG MTR's, and some rock sliders.
Daren, there was a Tundra the first day. And they kept up pretty well. Tom has taught people in all kind of trucks, including a $60K Ford Raptor. He also does corporate work, for like SDG&E, and work with the military.
