I will try to make the next one. I have done several mods that will help me make the run. 2.5 coil lift, 35's, CB, looking at sliders.
The pictures are great, really want to make a trip up there

Whew, and I'm still dragging around - 3.5 hrs driving up, 8-9 hrs on the trail, and 3.5 hrs back home. I'll probably stay up there for a night next time.

I think it's that rally suspension he installed. Did he ever take his Jeep out of 2WD? Noticed that he attached his front plastic bumper for Sunday's run (see Sat pic I posted of 08{GA}Rubicon's black JK - Mike's silver JK is in the background sans plastic bumper cover).

Good wife. If she hadn't, you might have ended up with more than just a driveshaft issue.

I'm all about that. Let us know when as soon as you've got a date.

TINMAN_2469, how'd you guys get to Guardrail, from the bottom of 11 off of Trail 4 (and how'd you get back down)? Thanks.

Awesome pics by the way.

Nice to meet everyone, even if it was only in passing. Sorry we didn't get to hang out or ride together. We headed up School Bus, Helicopter Pad, then down Guardrail after you guys passed us on your way to Fain's Ford. It was very slick this weekend and School Bus and beyond has definitely gotten harder than the last time I was there about two months ago.

Only two of us made it up School Bus without winching, me and the XJ on full width axles. It was just too slick for the short wheel base guys. Unfortunately for the XJ, this would be the last time he had rear wheel drive for the rest of the day. He busted the bolts out of his rear yoke and we didn't have the tools to tap them out. Yours truly puled a 4,000 pound anchor with only front wheel drive the rest of the day, which was no easy task.

All ended well and we got back to camp about 7:00. We saw you guys ride by a little later.

There haven't been a lot of pictures posted yet, but here's a few we have so far.



Pulling the anchor


Ben winching up the Bus.


Glen winching up the Bus.


Mark didn't need no stinking winch. Unfortunately this would also be the last time he had rear wheel drive.


Terry making it happen.


Carnage. >:(

I posted more pics ---> here <--- with the first one being a shot of our two groups squeezing by each other on the trail. I did enjoy seeing all the mods on those Jeeps and saying Hi to everyone.
