Not sure if this has been done before or not, but I enjoy the look of a good 4wd convoy in my rear or side view mirror. Sometimes even out the back window.
I thought it might be interesting to see what you see in your mirror while on the trails.

Here is mine. The cool part is that TJM on the SAS trooper might well end up on my 4Runner.

Bill, I'm always amazed at the rich color in your photos. :clapsmile
My side mirror never seems clean enough for a decent "looking back photo," but Bills' photo of a certain T100-FWC combo reminded me of a fun photo a buddy of mine snapped last year -

Thanks KC, you're too kind. I've always wanted, and I'm still trying to get, a shot like my second one with my dog hanging out the window, but I want the text "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" to be clear, kind of like the Far Side with the giant eye ball in the mirror. I tried to coach my sister a couple times when I saw it happening, but so far no luck.

We gave this pair of Federales a lift in Baja. I held the camera out the window as we drove, and this is what I got. 100% luck.

That looks like a really nice trail. Would love to run something like that again, it's been many years since I was in country like that. Where were you at in that shot if I may ask?
@ Paulj...
Nice Lilliooet area shot. I used to live in Ashcroft in 76 then Cache Creek in 77. Country around there is beautiful to the extreme. Thanks for posting to bring back memories. Man would I love to get back there now with my Jeep and a few friends to run the old logging roads we used to use for firewood, hunting and fishing access when I was a kid. There is miles of them up in the hills around the whole area.

Paul, that's in the Quilomene Wildlife area just north of Vantage, WA. Jump on over to Northwest Overland Society http://northwestoverlandsociety.org/ as someone is organizing a trip this summer and others just got back from there. It's a nice area.
Here's a couple more from deeper in that area but on a different trip.

Looking out of 550 Maranello, and though it says objects in mirror... it should say objects in mirror might not be there once in 2nd gear. That was a 150mph day.
