10 days and 2,000 miles through Nevada, California, Arizona and Mexico. I volunteered to work as race support for the 2016 Sonora Rally. This was my first rally race and I am hooked! The race took place over 4 days across dunes, deserts and beaches from San Luis Rio Colorado to Puerto Penasco. Each day had a different course over beautiful terrain. There was a bit of everything from a Class 1 buggy to a Myers Manx to a Subaru Wagon. The racers and staff are all amazing people. Can't Wait for next year!!!! Check them out at www.sonorarally.com and join us in 2017!IMG_5870.JPG IMG_5879.JPG IMG_5886.JPG IMG_5905.JPG IMG_5923.JPG IMG_5928.JPG IMG_5951.JPG IMG_5869.JPG IMG_5878.JPG IMG_5902.JPG

Wow, from that view, it looks like it has only has the bumper trimmed for a better angle of attack. I'm sure there is more, but it doesn't look as lifted as I'd have expected. mine looks taller. Thanks, @Ryan_Blaire

[EDIT] Ah, clicking the photo to see it larger, and I see it has a nice lift on it. That would be fun to try!

It was lifted, not sure how much. He did mention it had 4 1/2" of travel. Inside was gutted behind the front seats and had spare tires and all gear mounted nicely.
