Default Naches recap

so i just got home and got the jeep all cleaned up from the Naches run and thought i would post up how it went.

so a lot of people had other things to do that pulled them away from this trip but we still ended up starting with 5 rigs (2 cj7s, my cherokee, a rubicon, and a tj). the first wheelin day we headed up the first hill on the kaner trail. as soon as we got to the top one of the cj7s blew up his power steering box so he was out for the weekend. we finished the rest of the day by heading up to the funny rocks and moon rocks. we played around for most of the day trying different lines up the rocks. my jeep did better than i expected. i did the most common lines without spinning a tire. i was eyeing the "crack" but i didnt feel that comfortable with the jeep yet.

the second day we started off a little earlier. we did most of the trails through naches and shoestring. no breakage at all and no dents. we hit up the funny rocks again just for a little bit then headed back to camp.

all in all it was an awesome weekend! the new additions to the jeep worked great and i had no problems with anything. i will post as many pictures as i can. i have over 400 pictures and a lot of video. i will pick the best pictures to post up. i will have the video in a few days hopefully
