2:10pm....I need it to be departure time !!
Is there a fireside "meeting" gonna happen tonight? Who's going tonight/campin?

[Wingman]

I think everyone is arriving tonight.  Don't think there'll be a campfire unless someone is very ambitious...

[Wingman]

Can I leave now?


Oh, wait...  I can!

apparently "we are definitely not working saturday" is the same as "i might text you at 4:30 on friday and tell you we are working saturday"

thanks.

All-in-all, a great trip!  Hope everyone made it home safely.

My brother kept repeating "this is crazy" and "I can't believe these jeeps can do this".  He wants to come back.

Reid got a flat tire on his Suburban about an hour away from home. Changed it out and went on our way.

Hannah had a blast. She absolutely loved it. She's dying to go back. She's a keeper. Hahaha

Hey guys. This is Matt. You know the black, loud, throttle happy pickup. I want to thank you guys for letting myself and my ol' man to join all of you on the trails. We had a blast. Always awesome to meet and wheel with great people. I'll try to make the trek out to Rochester more often and look forward to wheeling with you guys in the future.

[Wingman]

Great to have you, Matt!  The sound of a healthy V8 powering through the tough spots is always fun to listen to.

everyone needs one

[xjh3]

Spencer, I'm almost kinda thinking he may need tons even more than you do.  Hahaha

I'm gonna whip up a trip report when I get home tonight.

Had a GREAT time...wish I could have wheeled on Sunday but needed to get back and get ready for Mondays hunt (which by the way I got a young buck @ 7:30am)......   

Lots of under body damage and almost ripped off those tubular side steps....   Has a loud rattle/clunking in the underbody that I just found the source of. Seems I jammed the skid plate cross support against the muffler just enought to rattle like crazy, sounds like its comming apart when inside the vehicle...but she is driving and handling fine after the trip.
A few more scraps on the body, the back top took a little paint off (rubbing on trees) rims have new and inproved gouges.

The new 35"s made a HUGE difference...even in the mileage ! went from almost 22 highway to barley 16 ! 

Things are tore up enough that its time to start replacing/upgrading this winter ( Mike...here I come).Need sliders w/bars and a lot of new skid plates....

Overall....LETS DO THIS SOME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
