Threw this together really quick, this is a group of guys that were coming up Daniel behind me before I decided to call it quits.

 

And a quick video of me trying to get up the first ledge. If you have never been on this trail this video does absolutely no justice to how steep and off camber this section is. My Jeep didn't drive the same after this because this is how I messed up my wheel bearing.

 

Same group of guys on the second ledge.

 

Terrible day today. Jeep died when I tried to go through a mud hole and now it will not start, just cranks and turns over and over but won't catch and run. No water got into the intake and the cap and rotor are dry, fuel pressure at the rail is good and all fuses and relays are good. The crank position sensor is the suspect, might work on it tomorrow. Had to have it towed off the trail by an XJ on 38s and a double low transfer case, then my neighbor came and got it with his truck and trailer. At least it is home but this situation sucks.

Our group today, 16 Jeeps, 1 Toyota, and 1 Chevy.



And me... like a *******.

 

Tried starting the Jeep earlier today, surprisingly it coughed and tried to catch but still didn't start. Unplugged the CPS and tried again, didn't try to catch at all, just turned over and over like yesterday. Plugged the CPS back in again and tried one more time, it tried to catch again but just coughed and choked. I'm feeling like it is definitely the crank sensor, it wants to start so bad. Bought a new one today, about to swap it in. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

 

All is well. Swapped the CPS and it started right up, let it warm up and blow all the **** out the exhaust, changed the oil and filter, and ran it through the car wash. Good as new.

 

One more video from Uwharrie last weekend. It is on Dutch John and shows the ****** Jeep climbing to the top followed by my buddy driving his TJ up with the windshield folded down. Very shaky but watchable.
