do you think the Mav has enough clearance to get out to racing rocks on a good day?

NICE! Looks like a great time! I grew up on roads like this in west Texas, but we didn't have the hills where I was.

Yes I do! And also when I was at the saline valley warm springs a lot of the people there were saying that the route to the race track got recently grated (Lippincott pass) and you can take anything out there awesome little expedition for the maverick. I’ve taken it on much worse like old man dale road in Joshua tree

Took the little Maverick out to Death Valley and had a blast! Over 100 miles of dirt in 3 days and just about every terrain you think of. The truck held up great and there was definitely a couple times I was driving this little thing like a rally car going 55+ on windy dirt/sand roads and I do have to say the truck doesn't just handle it but she enjoys it. Didn't scrape once and definitely was pushing the suspension at higher speeds and it was fine. When you start getting on the gas and throwing the truck around it really feels like it livens up. You can here the turbo blow off valve and just spool up and it sounds really good. Noises I don't always here on my day to day driving. I'm excited to get new suspension when these blow out.

Also on the way back heading southbound on the 395 I saw another maverick with a go fast camper (you know who you are!) awesome to see another one in the wild! Yours is looking super clean! Had my buddy who was following behind try to get a good picture of both side by side but It didn’t work out (in case you were wondering why I was driving weird and slowing down for a second lol)
