Ran lower 13 this weekend once during the day and then at night...
This has 4 rock waterfalls in the first part and then so e big rock steps ans nasty stuff on second half.
Day run
3 busted rigs (axle, drive shaft and TONS OF BODY DAMAGE)

night run
2 drive shafts and 1 axle a lot of carnage and laid my jeep into canyon wall front off the ground...
Locked it in low and towed 2 rigs out and winched 1 5 full 80+ foot pulls up waterfalls...


my damage: ssmacked tranny and oil pan tranny pan leaking, smo,ed front axle, bent drive shaft, pushed door in pushed top rear door in from layingit over on wall' bent slider a and body panels in...LOTS OF CARNAGE...

THIS TRAIL IS WHY I GO THERE.....










Then repair time....
Bent front drive shaft' replaced bad driver side drive shaft


Chris broke an axle had to tow him up the waterfalls between strapping and winching

 

New PS roll cage and pillar kit. Love it, except you have to remove the stock cage proton the attaches to the window. Doesn't feel as solid and have to work out a few squeaks and noises, but feels much safer!

 

That's the other part, I'm around 4" and my front ds rubs everything but never ripped. One good secton at 50 and the rear decides to rub on the skid lol. I'm actually very surprised my front hasn't grenaded yet. In all honesty it was a pretty long section of whoops so I guess the rear probavky danced more than it shouldave. O well time to upgrade I guess

 

Ran bullfrog & hammer down with yessamskates on Saturday. Had a blast



Oh yeah, I got stuck in a pocket on Hammer, took about 2 hours to work me out of it, winching rocks, doing a 19 point turn, off camber, almost rolled it, huge dent in crash bar, tore off taillight, etc.... may have been most fun part of the trail trying to get me out! Hahaha

When I got home at midnight I did experience death wobble when I got off the freeway. Looks like my frame side trackbar bolt came loose. Checked axle side bolt too & torqued everything to 125. Also checked all my CA bolts and torqued them to specs as well. Problem seemed to be solved. I think I got lucky with a simple fix. Amazing how one loose bolt can cause such a violent shaking. Might get the northridge4x4 hardware kit, or hit hardware store later, at the very least to replace the trackbar bolts.

Ate my winch up over the weekend. Came off the trail with it looking like this...



4wheelparts warrantied the winch because they kick azz, and because I purchased the "extreme warranty". Replaced/upgraded the damaged winch with the same model and added synthetic line...

 

What I've been doing for the past THREE WEEKS. I wrapped my baby in a matte metallic grey and I installed the rear XRC fender armor.

After

 

That's awesome!

 

Looks awesome! We need some daylight pics to really see it! What prompted you to try it?

Thanks Mike... well the fiancé bought me the wrap for Christmas so I really had no choice I was really going back and fourth with wrapping or plasti dipping the jeep because I bought the jeep used and it had a horrible paint job. I'll snap some more pics tomorrow, I still have to finish some details but I'm happy with the wrap and fenders. Installing the wrap was a lot easier than i thought it was going to be... It just takes time. Im not sure if I'm going to wrap my hard top or throw bed liner paint on it... What do you guys think?
