This will be my first year going, so I dont have a lot of info. I have heard that it is put on by Parker, AZ 4-Wheelers and this will be the 13th year. I have a few friends that have gone in the past and they all say this is one trip they will never miss.. For more info look it up on line under Parker 4-Wheelers desert Splash 2008.

Been 7 years in a row with my TJ got the 4 door now and went 2 years ago and ripped both plastic fenders off and said it was my last year. Becouse of vehicle, not the fun. I noticed you have 2 door which would be a little better but I found its the width that is tight for there. Luv Snake bite 2 trail and Presidents choice trails. Good wheelin there and don't forget the Desert bar.

I'm in az this weekend for this event. It's my first time out also. We are signed up for Presidents Choice tomorrow. Tons of jeeps and heavily modded rock crawlers. I saw a couple guys with jk forum stickers but didn't have a chance to say hi. I'll try to post some pics up later.

It was a fun weekend. We did have a little damage, but nothing too serious. My dad came down hard and hit his rear bumper on a rock, and the bumper bent into the rear corner of the body. I think we'll go back next year for sure. I was surprised at how many people were actually out there. I would recommend this event to anybody looking to get away for a weekend.

I'm marking it on my calendar. I checked out the web page last week. May give it a try next year... Looks like a fun event.

I'm heading out to La Paz campground with a bunch of Jeeps for Thanksgiving. They say there's some pretty knarly stuff out there.

Glad you had a good time.
