Here are a couple of shots I got this weekend. I was kind of busy doing pit/chase duties so I only got a few.

Nice... The first shot is my favourite, I'd perhaps try cropping a little closer for effect though. That last ute looks pretty heavily modified :p

You're right I looked at the first shot again and it would look better tighter. Not sure why I did that. Thanks. Heres a couple more UTEs? What is UTE?

Ute is an Australian word what you would call a pickup, short for utility vehicle. We actually invented that style of vehicle, there were already small trucks with a flat beds but we were the first (albiet by an american owned company) to create a vehicle with a cab and then sheet metal permanent sides to the tray.

Great series Dan, I'm liking the 2nd and 3rd shots. Always amazing how much travel those suspensions have.
