Video quality isn't as good as I'd like due to the trial version of the editing software I had to use.

Looks like you guys had a good time, though the quality sucked.

 

Looks like a lot of fun. Did you do Cleavland Rock?? BTW, The Outlaws and The James Gang, great music in the vid!! Later!!

 

Clevland Rock was a parking lot...lots of buggies ahead of us.

James Gang...naw. That's Joe Walsh, Funk 49.

 

My bad!! I thought that was TJG, now I'm that guy!!

Anyway, have you done CR in the past in your XJ?? I have seen vid of it, but would like a first hand account of it in an XJ, thanks much!! Doable, stupid hard, etc....?

 

This was the first time I made it that far. My first trip on that trail was, well just watch this video and you'll see why we didn't even venture beyond Holy Cross City.

The second time I had a little mishap...

OUCH!! That didn't seem to be in too much of a bind. What exactly happened there?? I'm assuming that was the front DS, am I right?

 

Nope, A weld on the axle side of the drag link went south....Pop!!

 

Great vids all 3 of them. Was that a popped u-joint on the front DS. Hope so cause that aint no place to change an axle shaft. The resolution was not the greatest but that may be camera limitations. Music was killer on the vid. Joe Walsh kicks.

 

What kind of trail repair did you use to correct that?

 

I welded it after tapping in back into shape with my 4lb hammer. Got home without any problems at all.

 

With my luck it would have just snapped off while trying to coax it back into place. Glad you got out with minor damage.

 

No carnage this year though! wOOT!

 

Year is still young. I'm one of those half empty guys as opposed to half full like you Frank.

 

Great Vids!
Enjoyed watching them..
Hope to see more from you guys...
