Sorry we didn't meet up with you guys, we were all wanting to wheel with you guys. We ended up not doing the front side of Daniel with the ledge with all of us having daily drivers and Adam having just installed the 3 link the week before and he wanted to get a feel for it before we went on anything tough. We went from Rocky Mountain Loop to Falls Dam to Dickey Bell, then ran the back of Daniel later that evening.
All in all had a blast! I really wish I had a different vehicle to drive every day so I could really do some stuff in the Jeep

It was good to me you Sam! We will get the opportunity to wheel again someday. Nick and I have wheeled together a few times and since he knew the trails I just followed him. How did the guy do in the 2-door? It was a little slick back in there for AT's and no lockers!

I was able to run everything pretty easily. We started off on some of the easier trails so I could get a feel for this 3 link since it was the first time out with that. We ended up heading up the front side of Daniel Sunday morning just to check it out. I feel I could have gotten through that just fine if I had tried it. As for it being slick, it was but I had no where near as much wheel spin as the other 2 guys. The extra 2" of contact with my tires just pulled me right through.

I hear ya, I didn't wanna do the front side of Daniel just yet. With my lead foot and my U joints starting to talk to me I didn't wanna break anything since I'm a delivery driver and had to be at work at 5 earlier today. But I did still get some carnage, including a bent factory track bar thanks to the back of Daniel, which moved my front axle over an inch or so, a "custom high clearance exhaust tip" thanks to every rock in URE, the passenger side of my stock front bumper getting bent in more than it was, and a couple small dents in my driver side rocker, guess I'm kinda throttle happy
Yeah no kidding, you didn't even spin much going up Dutch John! I want 33's...guess the D35 needs to go first haha

Hey, John, this was your first time there, correct? It's a shame you didn't get to wheel all of Rocky Mtn. Loop and Kodak. :/

Its never a bad thing to know the limits of your rig! I saw a few back in there that didn't know what "limit" meant and they were broke down! Take your time and build it up right. I know how tight budgets are for young folks these days with two young adult son's of my own(25, 20)
