I'll have pics up as soon as they finish loading up to photobucket...

It was a great trip. I was really impressed how well the XJ did open/open. It was rubbing EVERYWHERE! Bad enough the it grabbed the rear of the front fenders and rolled them in nicely!!! Needless to say that there will be some serious fender trimming going down soon!

Give me a bit to get the pictures on here.

Jerry's TJ. It flexed well and had a killer set of bumpers on it.

Dan's '98. I believe it has a Skyjacker 4" lift. It was a sharp looking rig.

Here is rig Jeremy was sporting. Nice quad and his truck in the background was a nice rig too.

And of course there is Seth0941's rig. This thing can flex! locked in the front only. Everyone else on the trip was open/open.

We had a blast. The day was a bit wet in the morning but warmed up and cleared of very well.

Ok back to the pics...

we left Olympia at 8 am. it is 42 miles from Olympia. so, lets say that we were on the trail at about 9:30. we did the loop and some side stuff and were done just before dark. then we drove home.

Trust me its worth it...lots of root balls to climb and tons of deep water holes to Toast your alternator in! rocks if your in to that stuff its a very flexy place for sure i wouldn't mind having a smaller set of tires actually....

Very nice pistures by the way tim....Dan's rooster tail was Sick....i'm definatly down to do that run again but trimming is a must and gears+Locker too!!!

I also think everyone should have self clearancing fenders.....:lecture:
