My old bombproof XJ has been laid to rest. My new Jeep, Great White, isn't quite ready or else I'd be all over and Elbe run. Have fun, Buddy!!

Want to... Yes but work says otherwise. I rarely work weekends but this one isn't optional.

Not sure what is up with that. I messaged the staff to see if I pissed somebofy off or if the Mod title was just dropped from my signature when I renewed my forum membership.

Yes stock. Not yet. Worst part is I'll most likely be driving it there, too

I heard there are bypasses for the really crazy stuff [I've only seen videos of the busy wild, which I know my rig is incapable of doing]

Last time i went to elbe i went with an xj with 31s with 3inches of lift. He did just fine except for the rock gardens...high centered in the one on the mainline extension, took us like 1 our to get him out so if you avoid those and use the bypasses you should be fine.

I may try to go to that fun run thing on the 18th, depending on what my schedule looks like. Busy wild will be closed for that. I'll PM you if I decide I want to head up there.

Yeah I like to push my rig, but I know what it's limits are [although still haven't been stuck enough to have to get yanked], and I know rocks are the enemy since 1: I would like to keep my rockers intact until I can get sliders, and 2: I scraped the entire bottom on a rock last time and was lucky I didn't break anything.
