The Amish have cell phones, minivans, and the women can cook some good grub.

I learned a Rusty's trackbar holds up better than an alloy dana 44 front shafts (in my rig anyway).

And that boggers have plenty of traction if aird down to 3psi.

And that winch rope does not actually fall to the ground if it snaps, it moves pretty damn fast towards whatever it is attached to (kind of like a big rubberband).

Post armadillo picture... do now!
That's another one I forgot!

Armadillo's can fly.
 
1. Woody isn't afraid to beat the piss out of his new rig.
2. I'm not afraid of breaking an axle shaft anymore after seeing woody flog his 33' tired junk.
3. It was worth driving 507mi to hang with my jeeping buddys.
4. Three forths bald 31' BFG KO's will continue the record of not taking a strap while wheeling.
5. The way to clean up at the raffle is to plop down a bill in tickets.
6. The JCR guys are top notch. :thumbup:
 
-Stealing Hales rig, then wheeling it, is fun for everyone. Especially when he steals the JCR rig to come find you.
-Licking mustard off the tip of a hot dog is not glamorous.
-Never ask a man if, "His chickens lay eggs?" that is a threat to his manhood.
-Mounted deer heads make great bedfellows.
-I love trailer houses.
-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
This one kinda backfired on ya, you ended up having to fix said stolen rig when you brought it back..

Things I learned the short time we were there,

1. I need skids and sliders!!!

2. A stock XJ will go through a lot more than I thought.

3. My wife doesnt like the sound of metal on rock.. Gonna have to put her in the back and turn on the child locks so she can't get out next time.

4. You guys are a great bunch to hang around with.

5. As mentioned above JCR guys ar top notch, thanks for lunch Friday.

6. 5 guys can pick up the front of a stock XJ to dislodge it from a BFR it should have not been on.

7. Armadillos really can fly.


Thanks for the fun guys. Sorry we didn't come back out on Saturday but we ended up heading home to pic up our daughter from the Grandparents. I didn't think that grocery getter would do well on those wet trails and didn't want to tear it up too much before I get some armor on it.
 
-Swampers on an MJ can throw mud chunks the size of my head.

Just think if I had romped on it Hale.

Anyway,
I learned that flatnasty is a pretty cool place.
Matt can drive a stock XJ pretty well.
When Rev tells you to gun it you're probably going to break something :)

It's only bent!!! According to Rev it's not broken if you still drive home. Sure was a long drive though. Now I hafta go out to the boneyards and shovel a path to my donor.

I learned an xj open front and rear with stock tires, front and rear swaybars connected and street pressure could stand to have some armor protecting the undersides.

It's not the rocks you need to look out for, it's the stumps that do the damage.

The Amish cook one helluva meal.

4. I will NEVER EVER be able to 'wheel an entire trip with out breaking.
5. Refusing to drive a new motor home down a mud path could insult some people.
6. Failure to thank one's wife publicly for planning the dinner could be hard on one's sex life.
7. Listening to a beagle howl all night isn't as bad on the third night as it was on the first night.
8. I can carry on a meaningful conversation with a peacock.
9. You can make a cell phone call in Jadwin Mo. if you go to the Sonoco station that doesn't sell gas and stand on the hood.
