That's because the Master Bat.....I mean...Pull guys took you guys on the the easiest trail in the place twice and showed you the bypasses on Expressway...LOL.

I'll meet anybody who wants to go on the fun trails at Walker in the pit (parking area) at 9am to lock in and air down, Saturday or Sunday.

If it's dry it could be pretty uneventful. If it's wet...well...now, that is when it's REALLY fun!! If there is snow then it's completely insane!!!

I had a great time running Walker Valley on Saturday. I saw onlt one other XJ all day long and it was green and trimmed in gold with Boggers. Jeepinchick, if you were there, I didn't see you.

I just followed along with whoever else was running the same trail I was. Lots of Wrangler, CJs and Toyotas. The Rock Face on Expressway can now be run bottom to top on the left side by the stump. I made it going that way. I saw a Wrangler go up the right side just before me. It was an act of god and gravity that he didn't end up on his lid. He literally stopped in the middle teetering. His buddy that was watching hooked up the winch cable and he pulled himself up the rest of the way. Another Wrangler went up the same side I did and he turned sideways in the middle and almost went over. He too pulled cable and winched up the rest of the way.

I really drive through and checked out all of the new Timber Taimer trails this time. Those guys really did a good job and made some fun and challenging trails complete with a couple of really gnarly hill climbs. There was a guy in a jacked up CJ tube buggy freak mobile with a 400+ horse V-8 on 1 ton axles. He snapped a rear D60 shaft trying to conquer the really tough hill the second time.

I did the Jeeps Cross trail next and dented my rear quarters going around the big rock. Tim, I need my rear quarter armors...lol. I came back down the hill on the Lower mainline Trail. It was super muddy and kind of torn up again. I never had to pull the winch cable all day. The front axle is working so much better, now. I only had one little issue that stopped me for just a few minutes all day. The tires caught my sway bar links and pulled it down. which dent the crap out of the lower link mounts. and the sway bar pinched my winch power cables and almost started a fire.

SO.......Branden and Tim, I took you guys advice and removed the sway bar. I am on a trial basis running without it on the road. So far, I really haven't noticed a difference. I guess the buschings were so had that it really wasn't doing much good anyway. So, I have my new sway bar links for sale and my sway bar will be staying off.
