Post up what you learned at this past Saturday's run to the cliffs.

I learned-

Cliffs mud still sucks
People need to learn how to use cb's
People who are about to roll, don't stick you hand out.
People need to listen to their spotters

COMMUNICATION!!!

Also, did everyone forget to bring a video camera? I've seen pics but no videos

If you can't hold up your XJ with your arm, that's your own problem.


I didn't learn much, but still had a blast! I'd say that's the worst Cliffs mud I've been in yet so I once again got to push my XJ even more!

Deff agree on communication and the mud being horrible. Also bringing a extra fan clutch would be a good idea too. But i finally got to push my xj a little. AND DONT TRY TO HOLD YOUR XJ UP WITH YOUR HAND!!!

Going through the tight section on 10 is passable without damage, I don't need to go 6.5 to clear my tires and cliffs mud sounds like eggs frying when you're rolling over them.
