Took her wheeling at URE again last weekend with adamk, 99classic, and sam24th, xjtrailrider was also there but we didn't get to wheel with him once again had a blast though!! Carnage included a bent factory track bar (luckily I have an RC adjustable one from adamk), a flattened exhaust tip (which was expected at some point with my lead foot), a couple dents in the driver's side rocker, and my factory bumper getting bent (once again, no surprise there). Here are a couple pics, enjoy!!

Man I wish you could've too!! You thought I beat on it last time, this time I pretty much thrashed it to get it to do what I wanted. On the back of Daniel I climbed a couple ledges that were a good 2 or 3 feet tall, hence the carnage lol, but this time I stayed out of the mud pits, I just tried to climb a mud wall instead

My buddy's ZJ has about 420k miles on her. The body is about to fall to pieces around the engine, but it's still going.

If mine gets to the point that the body is like that, I'll either retire it to become a buggy or get another XJ and put all my crap on it
