k im back. let see ware were we?
oh yea, trying to find some facilities for the ladies we ended up going the wrong way, time to turn around.
big.
new rocker dent. i would assume from the rock of doom
and some A pillar damage from the tree that munched my mirror.
after we found facilities at the horse camp campground most of the group dicided to head out. except for me justin and mopar. we dicided on hoodraiser to hogsback. although we never made it to hogsback, i ended up poping a rear Ujoing at the diff yoke. yoke survived too. ended up driving all the way back home in front wheel drive. almost didnt make it. around the hwy 217 ext i could feel something binding literaly slowing me down untill it lightly poped and was good again. kept doing that the rest of the way home. i think the chain in the TC was starting to bind due to less than normal fluids as i dont have a SYE and didnt have tape to attach a pepsi bottle to the snout of the TC. we will see how things feel after i get the Ujoint fixed and toss some fluids in there.
all in all this was a great run. showed some folk what TSF is all about. i think everyone had fun, even the doggie. i am so down for the april run. see ya then.

Terry thats why we were asking you about an SYE.. We had bottles tape and all kinds of good Macgiver fare to plug that thing.

yeah. i kinda jumped the gun on leaving early.
the blue xj left with me to make sure i would make it.. i dont think an exhaust vibe is going to leave me stranded..
me+rain+firebreak dont mix.. dave.. you should remember this:gee:
i mentioned that, no one said thay had tape. not that i heard at least. my bad. oh well all i need is a ujoint and it will be good to go.
Wait now I don't know if I want to say that firebreak is what did me in more like a twenty year old piece of plastic along with a poorly designed cooling system lol. Thats ok though that is going to be took care of this coming friday.

Alright, I'm "borrowing" internet from my upstairs neighbor so I can finally share my pictures. Its slow so no video yet...
Rod headed up FB5
BigBlue headed up through the mud. I don't think I've ever seen it so wet and muddy up there....
Sneaking around the infamous rock. Look at all those Jeeps!
Terry and the group behind him

Brian in his ZJ took the left side.
Major props to BigDog for taking on the hill climb, I wasn't even willing to try and he made it.
And then problems...
After that I went around to the top to help out with fixing things. Tried to run the next section but dented up my rocker panel, door and fender flare and decided to back out and ended up calling it a day to escort BigDog down to the highway. At that point, my brother and I decided to go to the beach. It was... lovely?
I love stormy weather at the beach

Man, I look like a complete noob in that silver ZJ movie clip. I was a lot more confident in my XJ! Them were the good old days.
MoJo - Nice video's!

Here are the Pics I got... Bringing up the rear is always hard to get pics... So I took what I could.
Ryan ( NightFoam ) getting a little tug from Rod.
Scott roundin the corner.
Sorerunner going around the corner. This little corner can be a pain in the arse..
Here is one of Patrick.. Man, I really hope I got your name right. Keith was in the Green, and Patrick int he white..
I took this picture because I don't think Terry's antenna gets enough attention. It keeps us all safe from lightning.. and geez who needs a cell.. he can reach Mars with that thing.
