Few more random pics: Seemed like my lens was always fogged up so the quality kind of sucks.

I haven't even begun to look over my junk yet. I did notice my drag link has a slight bend in it, and my steering is about due for a rebuild. I sheared one of my rock light wires off. Crammed a chunk of a stump in one of my beads. Massaged my quarter panel a bit, and added a few new scuffs in the paint.

Kind of afraid what else I'll find. :laugh3:

The group stopped on the 197 while welding up the broken UCA mount.

thanks for the great time guys! wish i could have wheeled my rig longer then ten minutes but you win some you loose some. figured out why my front wasnt working sheared off the end of the inner axle and that took out the actuator too. the tire that gota whole was a brand new tire 500 miles now totally a loss. and id post pictures but i lost my camera up there so if anyone finds it id love to get it back so my girlfriend doesnt kill me! o and scotts dads tcase blew up the corner right before getting it back to his truck and trailer he almost had a perfect first run with it!
 
Okay, time for my show an tell.

Trip started out great. We didn't leave the rendevu point until 11:10, the greatest wheeler in the world was running a little late.

Great weather on the drive up, only took about 2 an a half hours not bad.

All right, i am gonna cut this short.. I thought I fixed the huge pic problem.. :soapbox:


Here is a couple videos one of Rod.. cause.. damn I needed some footage..


And a couple of Tim on the 519 Rock Face.



 
I was trying to show how close the trails are. Its a little unnerving to be off camber and so close to the bank. Just inches away from no glass and some new dents.
 
I thought everyone did a great job navigating the narrow trail corridors at Evans. They are not the easiest trails to fit an XJ down, especially when we've had some recent rain and everything is a bit slick. A few dents are to be expected, but no one lost any glass and that's always a good thing.
