The convoy to Mountainside.



HighOctane's nice rig.



Anthony wheeling.



Chris on Slider - he's up there.



Corey climbing.



Come on up . . . the weather's fine.



I'm 3 for 4 on this nasty little run.



Chris twisting his suspension.



Reminder to one of our own to do a little maintenance.

Default Sahara w/ Cut Fenders

Here ya go Justin - this Sahara looked wicked with cut fenders. Sorry, but this is the only shot I have of it. Some of your Huntsville brethren have close up shots they might post if you kowtow appropriately.



Edit: the Sahara belongs to Jeepoholic over in GA. Corey snapped the good pic below.

Thanks for posting the pics Anthony. Below Wilbur went right instead of left, and the whole JK column came to a halt while Chris got him extricated.
That's when the break-away group made their move. They knew if Wilbur was in trouble, they didn't want any part of it.

I did learn my lesson though - slow down and make sure you know where your line is . . . even and especially if you are in the lead of a 15 JK Wrangler trail convoy (i.e., you're the "trail canary").

Who is this "someone" that you speak of??

Did you get your vibration issue resolved?

Good luck on the vibration, hope it all works out. Great to get to wheel with you guys, lets do it again soon. Jeeps look great with the new lifts and meats.

Ditto here - enjoyed meeting up with you guys again. I had meant to pick your brain on Moab a bit more, but got distracted with the rain and all. Interesting hearing your overall impressions, but would like to hear more specifics on trails, timing for a ride, places to stay, etc.

I think everyone is ready for another ride, seeing this one was going great until the rain.

Had a blast out there sat. The steep rock slabs that were there were MUCH more fun to crawl on than the small rocks and large boulders littering the trails at Rausch Creek ORV in PA where I usually wheeled at. Im def in for another run if you guys have one going while Im still here, which I have no idea how long or short that'll be. Nice meeting you guys.
