I had 1 hell of a good time. I have already took the plastic sliders off and the piece under the bumper. I may put the lift on this week also.

And so it begins...the only problem with taking stuff off is that the stuff you put back on cost a lot more money. And thanks for the video.

Dennis,
I followed your track...take a good look at it. We managed to stay in the "creekbed" the majority of the time....and then all of a sudden we went from 400 ft to 1800 ft elevation. Pretty cool...

my internet is up/down/up...down.
give me a little bit to get things straight and I'll load my pictures.

BTW - it took $8 in quarters to clean off the mud and the owner of the carwash came over and told me I had to spray off his bay before I left
While cleaning....I found approximately 2 feet of snatch-strap wrapped around my front axle. I personally don't remember breaking a strap...guess I picked it up while "plowing" the mudpit.

Just a taste...

The first (and only) mechanical failure of the day




My pride went for a swim...and my ego drowned in the quicksand


Dude...maybe I should shave

If you start modding and need a hand, don't hesitate to post it on the forum. I'll help...hell...I think I speak for everyone when I say you 'earned' some wrenchin' time from us for your fine display of disregard for the welfare of a stock Sahara.

No doubt. Let me know when and where and I will definetely help wrench, if I can.

After my run to the car wash this morning, I discovered a nice dent in my step / rail, which apparentely was a victim of the same rock that claimed Prokchops' side step. I will try to post a pic up later. Other than that, and the RC Jeep, I don't think anyone had any other issues. Except for my pride being bruised, for not getting up the slope that Porkchop and Denny made it up.
