I will Tell you all this, towing a trailer with 35s and 373 gears not alot of fun Time for a regear . Lori had a Blast and it was a lot of fun at the park and campgrounds. really enjoyed meeting you all and hope to have many more adventures in the future. I will post pics tomorrow Iam going to bed!!!!
You're the man, Buster. I got to thinking about that on the way home. I remembered that Dan was trailering Dex's stuff back to him. Then I heard that Dan broke later in the afternoon. I was wondering how it was all going to play out.

So does anyone know if Dan (Sargent Lane) made it home and how he made it???

Shoup,

Tell the Misses the pictures look great. The boys will remember that trip for a long time. Hope we didn't scare her too much. I know she thinks we are all crazy, but hopefully we keep it all friendly.

Dan left me a message said he got home at 0530 this morning. All is well and it was basically a 100 dollar clip to get fixed he said the Jeep is at the shop now.

She says thanks and that we are all certifiably nuts but she enjoyed herself and plans on going to our next event. She wasn't to impressed with me though, when I broke off from the pack right before lunch and hit the mud hole at about 35

Lol. I've been told I'm crazy more than once. I get the "who in there right mind would take a brand new jeep and start cutting it up!" response from people a lot. It takes a "special" kind of person I guess. Looks like you all had a great time! Thanks for posting up pics for those of us who couldn't make it. I posted the pics of my new mods over the weekend. They are in the thread about getting the rear bumper on. I'm very happy with how the stubby conversion turned out on my full length front bumper. The diamond plate was a nice touch. My welding buddy gets all the credit for that. He just happened to have the diamond plate on hand.
