Actually, it's Photomatix...and you do need a camera capable of bracketing images.:smiley_drive:

Thanks. All of the photos are shown are HDR. A friend gave me the program to create HDR images and started experimenting a little.

I don't have too many pics of my rig out on the trails, since I'm usually shooting for others, but here are a few.
Garcia Ridge, San Luis Obispo, Ca

Prosser Lake, Truckee, Ca

Eagle Lakes, Tahoe, Ca

Slick Rock, Bear Valley, Ca

Mt. Reba, Bear Valley, Ca

Looking forward to doing more expedition type runs in the near future.

I'd like to hear some more about that rear bumper with the swing-outs.

Sure thing. It's a custom bumper by 4x4 Labs in Grass Valley, Ca. Same concept he does on the FJ80's. The cross member is cut and a new crossmember/bumper is put it it's place for maximum departure angle. It's got and integral hitch as well.

How does the sway bar disconnect work?

FYI, the pics below are from the prototype. Since these pics, the disco has been reinforced and made "beefier", but the pics below will give you an idea of how it works.

DaPit, I'd appreciate if you could share your thoughts about the GY MTRs vs. Hankook Dynapro mt and BFG KM2 in terms of traction, wear, noise, likes and dislikes, etc. Thanks and cool pics BTW.
