I will be at Panament Valley days also, working the Friday night Isham Canyon run with Gary and friends also. I ran that trail on the night run last year in my XJ. It's not as bad as they think it is although I was running full width axles and can straddle the v-notch that they fear will damage a hard top. Hopefully I will have my Jeep done, otherwise I will probably ride with Gary and spot since he has is foot in a cast still and has a hard time jumping in and out to spot for others
