Default Big Drop down Bunker hill

I can officially say I dropped down bunker hill with out killin myself. It is now checked off my bucket list!
It was my xj on 35s
My clubs VP Trevor in a tj on 35s
and my Probie member Chad in his yj on 40s

Carnage:
Chad, The Probie broke first! Right in front of sign to enter he broke 2 knuckle bolts. This trail is officially his nemesis. He borrowed one from the other side and was running two bolts now on each side. Made it most of the way through trail before loossing another bolt on one side. He broke out the welder and tacked it on. The weld held til the exit. Drove to trailer.

Trevor broke second half way through Liberty. Add a 4:1, couple lockers and two guys staring into each others eyes deep in conversation and next thing you know you're half way up a tree, about to flop until a shock extends too far and pulls off frame and a spring farts out onto the trail. after a quick fix it was all ready to go

Seth (me) broke last. The XJ worked the trail very well without any issue, I even took some big lines and while trying to take the big boy line on the exit, I blew my U joint off my rear driveline........Again! Took a while to get me up the ledges and a pic would have been worth a thousand words as we are being winched up my jeep got on two wheels on the passenger side freakin out my girlfriend and almost floppin us hard onto a ton of rocks. Two jeeps tied off together, ****** block and some pointing and laughing and they got me out. I drove home in front wheel drive......again
