How are the rest of the trails? How did the three link work? I am supposed to go with Lenny tomarrow to Bishopville but as I was leaving town with the Jeep something is definitly wrong in the rear axle or drive shaft. Need to get it on the rack MOnday if I can.

Sorry Glenn.. no pictures from me, my wife had out camera at a wedding. Maybe 87XJDana44 took some... I cant remember.

It was a good trip with minimal breakage:

Me: Driver side Hub Fuse on Pull Cable

Dusty: Front Driveshaft, Rear Driveshaft, Fuel Filter/line on Pull Cable -turned into a fun winch fest.. (2) M8000's both snatch blocked and still struggling... then a pull back to camp. But he did get further up than I did due to my breakage... Oh yean and Glenn's near (I mean all but over) flop trying to help out...

87XJDana44's friend: smacked his Exo hard on a tree at about 20mph and punctured the radiator a little bit. Happened on the Loop so be warned.. it's insanely steep and when wet it's worthless to try to slow down.. I would definetly not do it w/ stock gearing it wouldn't be a fun ride.. Easy fix w/ a log chain/tree strap, and tree...

Jake w/ the Red Rubi LJ (8700miles) :Flop on the waterfall, bent rear LCA mount

87XJDana44: nothing I know of.. and a very impressive XJ locked and 32" LTB's.

The pics of the waterfall still dont do it much justice... 2 out of 10 made it..and the trail after the step was a winch fest everyone pulled cable except for Dusty and myself. Man that was a good show... Imagine long steep hill climb, tree roots, step up, large rock and hitting it at about 20mph... I need to start carrying the digital video camera...

Hanging around the campfire was a good time too! and warm...

We'll probably head back up there in a few weeks.. I'll post another ride thread maybe some of you will attend... Hope the same group can make it out again soon...

To Do List:
1. Order a pair of Warn hubs
2. CB
3. suck down winch
4. relocate shackles

Looks like a lot of fun. Just remember breaking stuff means you can build it bigger and better :)

Looks like you all had a great time! I wish I could have made it, but I had to work. I'm also still fixing some stuff from my last trip there, fun place!
