It ended up being me, tiny e and big l, and svx93. It was a lot of fun, a couple of tugs and a lot of waiting for a Bronco in a group in front of us getting unstuck

It was definitely a fun day. Watching the fight right now. Didn't have too many pics but I'll post after the fight.

tiny e and big l walking through the gate keeper





tiny e and big l spotting svx93 through some boulders



gate keeper is too fresh and untouched from the harsh winter so it proved too much for an unlocked rig



a little help from a friend



these rocks are farking huge






get close to the tree on your right...


...because when you come down the rocks your roof tips real close to the left tree



Here's the Bronco that held up most of the day




After finally winching through the gate keeper, his rear sway bar get's jammed up and had to be removed.

Sorry for the few pics but for those that missed this, you have to go. John Bull is an amazing trail. Not too many damage to report. I crushed my tail pipe, twisted the steering stabilizer up and pushed the right side slider up a little (fell off and on to a rock, HARD). SVX93 bent his front cross member (under the radiator), his side steps was pushed up a bit into the door sill. Tiny e and big l came away unscaved

A new section in the trail:



that's what happens when your 8 year old gets a hold of the camera

well i had a blast. as for the damage nothing a hammer(really big one) or parts cant fix.

the trail thought me a lesson that i need to buy those evo rock rails ive been drolling over and buy them fast! so evo you need to stay open at least one saturday and not when im stuck in the feild cuz thats my luck with everything.

thanks tracy for putting this togather i had fun! and it was nice to meet you guys. till next time.

and sadly i only have the videos from the gate keeper of when i ws stuck the whole time other then that my camera woman stayed in the jeep to much because it was cold :(

That looks about right. I'd get a paper map though. I used my GPS at the end of the trail to get out and it led us to a blocked/closed road.
