I just read some of the posts on the other forums and it seems unanimous that its a no-no, and Charles apologized for not knowing that, dudes got class. I never would have taken that as part of the lake, now we know.

Now I agree, it is difficult to tell if it was actually part of the lake.... what is the lake anyway ? Is it where the water line is ? is it where it is when maximum ? is it 50 y away from that ? or is it the whole mountain because these mountain lakes are fed by runsoff from all around ?

retrospectively I tend to agree with the no-no..... thinking about it, we definitely were not on a trail therefore against all thread lightly policies (but that was fun though).
Good to remember... stay on the trail

Or were we on a trail? I believed us to be. The trail led right onto the large dirt area by the lake which the mud puddle was smack dab in the middle of. We did'nt park or play on or even so much as disturb any vegetation. I'm feeling a little ignorant for not having thought more about these questions prior to the run, I have always thought of off trail meaning in the vegetation, some further education seems to be in order.

Thats the nature of crawling, run it, fix it, run it, fix it. I've also realized I desperately need a guard for my front diff. before I crack it open.

not in my plan right now, but browsing the Sam's club up here, they have a roof rack for less than $100. I looked at it, it does look solid.
I don;t remember what brand it was, and i can;t find it on sam's club online.
Just wanted to let you guys know if you were in the market.... $100 doesnot sound too pricey

Hi new here I live in tooele and just got a 89 Cherokee i6 4x4 with I think a 2" lift and 32x11.50 pro comp tires. I got it free from my uncle in Cali so it has no rust it's in great condition the only thing that's wrong is something in the tranny so I'm trying to find a tranny jack to use.

Sweet man, thanks! As soon as I get the stuff from this last run fixed I'm going to look for a donor cover to either beef up or use as a template.
