I'm in! Tool the JKU out today for a test run. Got good flex and figured out how much wider my JK is then my TJ was.

Tried to jet through something I know CJ5 and I'm pretty sure my TJ would have gotten through. JK fenders do dent incase anyone was wondering.

Hey Spike!  A buddy and I are hoping to get out on the trails on sunday too.  Hes really new to this and Im pretty green too.  Any chance we an tag along in a couple of stock rigs?  He drives a 2010 rubi and I've got me a 2011 wrangler sport (recently traded up from my YJ and havent had this one on the trails yet.....)  I've been to the top of the world in my stock YK without to much trouble so hoping we may tag along with you.

Let me know.  We're planning on being at the store by 10 either way.
Thanks!

Lots of fun!! I had some trouble going home with over heating and on heck of a vibration. I went through all the systems and ruled out a number of things....it was my fan. I thought it was toast however, I limped to Cochrane stopped at a car wash and pressure washed the fan area and.....bingo, all is fine. One problem, my horn must be plugged because it sounds lame...

I have some great pictures and will try to post tomorrow....THANKS GUYS!!

I re-read this, and I'm not being sarcastic..., it was an awesome day the challenge made it all the better and we'll be out there some other time with 33+ and lockers to finish the job....oh and of course Mike your bringing your YJ through it again...we can just do like a caterpillar type deal..sort of like what we did this time when stuck Jeeps would winch off each other as anchor points, whoever pops out goes forward.... progress being subjective  


I take it Brian meant he did fish west in his mini goldiggin razor.
