Not sure what is causing the parse error, but I agree it was a good time! Eh, well except for the tire! Luckily discount tire is setting me up with a new one this week. As soon as I get back down to Portland I'll put up my pictures as well, I think most of them involve a stuck bronco, but there's a few good ones to go along with it!
It was nice to meet you man! I'm definitely looking forward to some snow though!

Day 2 at the mountain
Not long in, the sidewall met a sharp rock
The Bronco tries the same hole he backed out of yesterday...
And it's stuck. The recovery required two JK's hooked together to pull him out. It was a cool sight and I wish we had a picture of it
All the rigs at the top
And a little pre-runner action heading down the mountain
That damn rock! Luckily I bought the replacement certificates through discount tire direct, so they're replacing it for free (plus the cost of a certificate for that tire) love that company! Dragging the bronco out was a good time! Once we got a set of tires out of that slop, I was really surprised about how smoothly it pulled!
I did manage to find out what the noise under the jeep was though! When I was trying to climb that hill, I managed to losen up the locking nut on my adjustable trac bar. Found it out when my steering wheel had about an inch and a half of play in it with a "clunking" sound once the wheels started turning.
Snow is on the ground in downtown Portland though! We'll have to make a weekend trip into it soon!
