From PA to Smyrna, TN is just over 13 hours of driving, without stops. So, the journey down there was just as much a part of the trip as the event itself. We convoyed down with a total of 12 trucks and convoyed back with a slightly smaller total of 2.

The trip was a bit of cluster, but we had a great time and took part in a unique experience. Here are the best of the my photos.

Nice job Stephen. Looks like it was a great event. If my X is up for the trip next year, I'm going to try and make it down.

Awesome

Looks like a great time.

I know one of those xterra's... the red one parked in the middle in the group vehicle shot... belongs to brian of GA I believe.. use to wheel with him down in Florida

Sweet pics. Just curious about the roof lights that were on the rig in the pics 15 and 16 up from the bottom? Did anyone see these in action to tell if they're any good? Would be a good alternative to backup lights that I've been toying with rather than having larger work/driving lights.

Loved the hood scoop too in the photo that's 20 up from the bottom; never knew they made hood scoops for X's, which I'm guessing is aftermarket. Kinda reminds me of the newer Taco's and 4Runners, which I think look nice.

Here's the wright up for the Rigid 10" Led light.
