Well, yet another hard core adventure with some carnage good wheeling and great friends. My little black Jeep made it through with minimal issues although I bent some stuff and cut a MT/R.
Here's Dan rearanging somemore sheet metel on Jack Hammer before blowing a 260.

Here's Matt on Big Johnson...

...he laid it over on a big rock on Jack Hammer resulting in D pillar dents and a broken window.
Here's Dave Taylor on Big Johnson.

Here I am coming up a waterfall on Outer Limits shortly before losing a tire and needing a winch.

Damage totals:
SeanP One broken alloy Dutchman 31 spline 9" shaft the other one with twisted splines. :shock:
MJ Dan More dents, broken shock mounts, and two broken 260 u-joints.
FarmerMatt, dented D pillar and broken right rear window
Grant Barclay one rear driveshaft hosed
Brett Thornton snapped D35 shaft
Rick Norman, Snapped D30 shaft, exploded lock-rite, probable R&P damage, separated unit bearing(resulting in his entire wheel leaving the vehicle!)
Me, cracked exhaust(welded up in camp) one MT/R, rear OX cable crushed(still works), dent in door, dented shock, crushed t-case skid, slightly bowed tie rod.
I think everyone added a dent or two.
Unfortunatly Richard retired ol' yellow on Jack Hammer when he lait it over hard on a big boulder.

Thankfully he wasn't injured and noone was riding with him at the time. He wheeled his mangled heep the rest of the weekend.
These trails were the hardest I've ever run and if you don't have your sh!t together you shouldn't be out there. A lot of obstacles on these trails require liberal use of the go pedal and that was in evidence this weekend, I hadn't seen this group(or myself) drive like that before, very entertaining.
I have a ton more pics, so once I find a site to host them I'll give a link to the album.
