Here are a few pics of our monthly trail run with the Long Island Off Road. This time, MaBell trail in Massachusettes. I'm in the red JK of course. Only one rig had issues, a ZJ. Broken tie rod, engine problems, belt flew off, etc. Not his day. All in all, a great run.

Our monthly trail run with Long Island Off Road to Rattlesnake Gutter in Massachusettes. It was a great run since lightbulb trails were opened up and none of us have been on them yet, don't know what to expect. 21 rigs showed up, broke up into 3 groups. 1 group did go arounds. 1 did the main powerline trail. 1 did the powerline AND lightbulbs, I was in this one. At the end of the day, only half the rigs were still on the run, the other left home. 6 broken beads and 2 attempted rollovers later, we were STILL on the trail. Started 10AM, left the trail 10PM. 12 hours of wheeling and doing the Gutter backwards at night is PRICELESS.

No troubles getting the front end up on the ledge, but NO ONE got over it, locked or not, no matter the clearance. Just let the belly skid slide and let the winch pull you up over it.

Yes it was. Fixed it up, been hammering on her every since. Doesn't take it easy on that XJ, at all.

BTW, long time no see/hear/talk.
