Sounds good!
Maybe you ought to teach your friends how to drive!
I'm sure they'd appreciate the pointers.
I know the feeling of having no idea of what's in front of you. It's good to have a spotter you trust. If I don't have a spotter, what I do is pick a line that will put my driver's side tires on the majority of rocks. I can see my front tire if I hang my head out the window a bit, so this minimizes my chances of running into stuff.
Also, I adjust my power mirrors so that I can see the ground and back tires with them. That way I can keep an eye on what the back of the vehicle is doing.
And yeah, have you friends take more pics. I'd like to see some of your truck in the rocks. Maybe you guys ought to bring along an extra person next time just to be cameraman.
