We went back to the orange trail and never could raise Woodweavil on the radio. We don't know the status of Dan's Jeep. Scooter Scott was supposed to meet up with Woodweavil regarding a bumper.
It sounds like all hell broke loose after lunch. I think Dan was supposed to trailer Dex1's trailer back to him. I guess that isn't going to happen. Well, hopefully Dan (SargentLane) gets on and lets us know if everything is taken care of.

He will probably post later.

I wanted to join the fun, so I went to the same rocks.
Weavil stopped me when the rear bumper started dragging.
(Ryan's tires and bumper had a distinct advantage, but I didn't let that stop me!)
WOW!!! Way to go man! I am super impressed! Your articulation looks WAAAAY better than mine!!!

Bummer! I have a BUILT D30 upfront and have broke the gears 4 times this summer. Currently shopping for a front D60!!!

I was REALLY careful; on this trip and only turned on the front locker a couple times all day!

Thanks.
Your tires and vehicle position made a better photo op, though.

My next upgrade should probably be a rear bumper.
I wedged my receiver under a rock ledge and HighRoller had to give me a little straight-up boost before I could go backward.
I gave the Jeep a preliminary wash tonight and the rear bumper has more than one kiss of contact from this weekend.

I handed my camera to my cousin today so I could get lots of pics.
I took more pics yesterday by myself.

Hey, Scooter.

I had 3 inches of standing water in the jack stowage area. (still had the plug in it, but took it out tonight to let the water out)
My front floor is a stinking mess.
I'm thinking I got a little deeper in that one hole I backed out of than I thought.
