we are loaded, and I mean loaded. The duramax will pull it's biggest load today. With a bed full of firewood, and jeep loaded with all of our camping stuff. I will not be back on here till after New Years. So to everyone, Have a Happy and Safe New Years.

will update this tomorrow. We just got home after 3 days of wheelin in the rain and some minor breakage. I have some good pics and some video. This trip turned out to be a mud fest, seen a few roll overs and a bunch of carnage in the parking area due to all the rain and those heavy trailers.

I plan on putting a few pics up here in a few. I need a alternator if anyone has a spare one laying around. I was on twister 2, I had ran it the day before, but after all the rain all those large holes filled up with water. I pulled into the last big hole, and water was up to my headlights. I turned my electric fan off but the alternator is now retired. But it did get me by till the ride was over.

This is how it looked without playing in the mud.

This was taken right before he broke his rear left axle shaft. He is now going to go 1 ton.

Cool pics. Yeah that hole on twister 2 was DEEP! Friend of mine went through it. Then the rest of went up the hill on the left before you get to that hole.

I went by you a couple times on Sunday. That XJ is SWEET!

I was in a white MJ on 37's.

It was. That is the most mud and rain I have seen in a while. Did not build my jeep for the mud, But it worked perfect. Those Iroks grabbed on the slick rocks.

Well I understand, I bought my XJ just for trails, looked for 3 months. Drove 5 hours to pick it up. It was in near new condition. 117,000 actual miles, 1 owner and never wrecked. I hated to rip it apart, but it turned out just like I dreamed of. I am ordering links as we speak to do my rear coil conversion.
