I don't want another 4.0 But I don't have my own garage and fab tools to do anything serious. Everything has to be together within a weekend unfortunately.

Did some "night wheeling" last night before the Cliffs. Or more like "follow Ethan's directions and immediately get buried to the doors".


Nice blue moon tho.

Also, the screws holding the wires to the negative terminal (which needs to be replaced) are so loose from corrosion I have to physically hold them down to start.

And when getting pulled out I was yanked into a tree and now my rear bumper is super smashed and the hatch can't open.

And I lost a D ring shackle.

And found out my washer fluid motor doesn't work.

It was a cluster ****, but for some odd reason my steering has never been so smooth.

Then Brandon was over heating, so Jonathan started the tug train.

My new fave

We also tried to help this psycho ZJ owner who somehow managed to launch himself into trail 10. When Jon finally got him loose with all of our tow straps we sat around for 15 minutes recording him waiting for a rollover because of how reckless this guy was.

Crazy ZJ owner get his own spotlight. Props to the completely stock ZJ for putting up with this guy.






Crunched his hatch






Ripped off the front bumper and ran it over a bunch. (Apparently he went back to get it)






That flex tho




We thought he was gonna roll here. 3 wheeled and teetering




Somehow he made it to the hill. And seemed like he tried to run down Bub. (All our Jeeps were parked right there too because mine died)
