A lot of fun. Trails on Thursday were virgin snow. I pre-ran red, the new cut was boring with everything packed with snow, and the old red was pretty much impassable. I gunned orange on Fri/Sat. Friday was bitter cold and the trails were hard with all the ice that had formed, especially for the guys in the back of the pack.

Saturday wasn't as bad with the temps rising. The new cut of red had gotten a lot sloppier at that point by the afternoon and there was a lot of standing water on the trails. Holes that were packed with snow and ice were showing up at that point.

I ran Sunday as well with some old friends and the trails were getting super sloppy. We ran green since we had a mostly stock XJ with us. We ended up hitting the various rock gardens on the trails and when we parted company I played in the quarry for awhile.

Always an awesome time. Looking forward to next year!

My jeep finally sold tonight. It is pretty sad but it's time to move along. I just wanted to thank you all for the awesome community we are all a part of! Every time I had an issue this forum came to my rescue.

I hope sometime in the future I'll be able to get another one.

Anyone know where I can get D rings locally? Need them for my front and rear bumpers. I was thinking possibly Harbor Freight, but I don't want some BS that's going to break when I need a tow or I am assisting in a tow.
