My man gained my respect after watching him clean Eagle Rock in an XJ with a BB, and a stick shift, on 31s. Very well done!!

I was following the narrow track guys line which was putting me immediately off the side of the hill ,but about 2 feet over...right up ...well right up after we managed to keep the coil in ...OUCH ...I'll be fixing that Saturday ,and tracing my fuel leak ,which I think is a loose clamp on the filler lines .

I don't think I did 2 bad for this being my second time 4 wheeling ...ever...on any trail besides Slaughterhouse (glorified dirt road) ,and only second trip out in this Rig besides Spring Creek , Can you say rookie...lol


Hey did you get any photos of my junk I did not bring a camera...next group trip I'll have to do video , So everyone can point out exactly how they got their new dents ...lol
Sure did! Got some video of you too! I was trying to upload it last night on photobucket, but wasn't happening. It's only like 5mb, but I dunno wtf!? I'll try to load it to my youtube tonight and pm u the links.

Yeah custom bumper from a good welder is the way to go ...I never even trailed the Old ZJ anywhere but a few token fun runs through Slaughterhouse ,and the ARB was bent ...Are you going to do some extra body armor to keep it looking sweet ?

Nah, I got sliders welded in place of my rockers.. and some armor underneath.. Just need some decent recovery and I wish I could trim some fat off this pig.. Feels heavy as hell.

It used to have a protofab front bumper with a winch, but it was so hideous to me, I sold it.. I would like to eventually go to an HP axle though, and truss it. Those are near future plans.

I'd agree with you on the Protofab not being good a good match for the ZJ front end on a looks basis ...the HP will help you keep the drive shaft alive .

Ah man...no worries. Your Jeep kicked @$$ all weekend long! That missing shock was probably the reason I made Whale's Tail!

ALL credit goes to Rico. I just did what he told me to do

"Driver, come, passenger, let it hunt, release the hounds, pin it to win it..." LOL!

Seriously, much respect to Steve and Toby. They made it super easy for me. Seems like a spotter has a lot of responsibility and those two dudes handled it like pros.
