I drove up with the GF and my son Saturday night after work. Camped out along 576 and woke up, packed up, met some fellow forum members at the El Dorado Outpost and went right up Daniel first thing. It was nice to get to follow a group the last time I went up without any other Jeeps and I spent some time looking at the map. I didn't do Daniel the last time either so it was excitement right off the bat. The other rigs were much more built than mine so I was anxious about being the weak link, but with some good spotting I made it right up the steps on Daniel and everything was easy after that. (except for a tight spot with some slant that brobbins67 spotted me through) I encourage other guys without lockers and 33+ tires to get out to URE and give the trails a try. Just check for clearance, play it safe and bypass if your not going to clear an obstacle.
My casualties were a steering stabilizer which was useless and my drive shaft boot which I knew was coming after the lift.

Here's some Pics and a video of my second trip up Daniel

No, It wasn't too dusty when I was there, but there was rain the night before.
