Stock Smash of front corner in the rock garden. It was an easy repair with my hammer.

Ah yes, I should have taken my foot off the gas and asked for a spot. My diffs and driver knuckle found rocks and lifted three tires.

Overall not too shabby for my first time wheeling ever in my own vehicle.

Here I am by the lift in mineral basin. Spencer couldn't make it up. He got demoted to my photographer.

If you haven't figured out what the club is about....It's wheelin' our XJs with friends and making new friends that get out and wheel with us.

Sorry I haven't made it to any functions since Moab. :D

Jeep goes under the Knife now. Calvin seems to have named it Dirty Sanchez..

I thought he was the lurpy dude that sometimes rolls with you.

So am I to assume you got your headgasket fixed, Calvin? Good to see you getting out! Not good to see you two forgetting to invite your buddy Israel. ;)

[Paintchecker]

NO I didn't fix my head gasket because it doesn't have a problem. It ran at 210 the whole time like a champ. I did install some teraflex disconnects.

Here's a video of me polishing the road. Stupid mud tires, auto-lockers, etc.

The gears and lockers are one of the few things left that I haven't changed. Maybe I'll get chains...or just work on the thing all winter.:D

Dude, the snow was A LOT deeper when You, Cody and I went up last spring, and you got much further up..:dunno:

Musta been Cody's stupidity saying we can make it..:D That gave motivation..:D

Deeper snow with mud tires = traction. Ice plus snow with Mud tires = Sleigh riding down the hill. :D

I actually think that was almost to the top of what stopped us this spring. I don't know the road that well though. That's the first time I've been to the top since the lift went in.
