I think I got lucky on that one. I was taking a harder line on the left side of winch hill #1, I had to back up a few times and finally had my rear tire drop into a hole as my left front started to climb. Broke my passenger rear window, and bent the window frames on both passenger side doors. The b-pillar got a small crease in it, but a slide hammer should take care of that. More pics to come later.

Bummer.

[CRASH]

Did the terrorist make you do it? :D

Did the terrorist make you do it? :D

I was trying my best to be just like him. He flopped in a much nicer spot.

You guys need to learn how to drive... jeez.


Looks like flopping is the latest trend...

He was on a good funky ballance for some time:

Looks like a fun run.

[Bryan C.]

That was a great run. We had a good group of guys out there. I think Jes and I were the only ones to finish the entire trail.

Nice pics Dave!

[Jes]

That was fun showing the covered wagons how to "get it" on WH3. :looser:

[Letterman]

We just had too many rigs with us, and a few had probs, what took the 2 of you 2 hours to get out would have taken the 11 rigs with me 6 to 8 to hours to get out. That is with out any big probs. We were out of spairs on the WJ and one of the CJ's had some axle/drive line probs so he just wanted to get it off the trail. Also did not want to drive the trailered rigs down the freeway.

As was it took us 2.5 hours to get out the Commity trail, something about a stock tie rod on a Rubicon touching the radiator.:gee:

The Commity crossing was fun!
