Well we had a great showing - 5 of us there. I'm drunk and its late, so I won't post my pictures till morning, but parrothead blew his clutch or transmission - we had to tow him out. I had to leave early to go to my wife's boss' xmas party. They got him out though and last I heard his wife was coming to get him. I hope you don't get in too much trouble Brian!

Took us a few hours to get him out because the terrain and people kept getting stuck, but I think we still had a fun time. I think everyone really liked the dunes, and we didnt even really play on the trails. We'll definitely do it again soon - maybe in Feb.

I would be interested as well. I know that sand can play havac with lots of stuff, that's why I try to stay away from it. It is alot of fun. I have been so buried in it before and know what it's like in wet or dry.

Glad to hear it Brian - If it makes you feel any better my Jeep is sitting a the dealer here as well, and probably will be for a week or more while I fight them on fixing my steering knuckle and/or ball joint.

Been having the problem since the lift was on, but I believe it might have happened prior to that.

Fortunately, I got a call from the dealer earlier - it sounds like they are going to warranty the steering knuckle or ball joint as of now, and also they are going to warranty my rear locker solenoid which was defective.

The other good part is no matter what they replace on the axle, they will have to realign the vehicle as part of the install, so I get a free alignment out of it assuming they cover it.

Hold your breath for me on getting it covered.
