FREAKIN' AWESOME RUN!

Thanks to Bob and Tater for spotting so great. Can't wait for Mike and Dana's pics... I ran a big boy trail! LOL Sorry Randy's crapped out. I put a big 'ol ding in the door, lost the right rear tail light, Xj is stuck in 4WD, got to use the winch on the third fall, and I fried my 2nd radiator in a month (seriously... there's something jacked up that keeps puncturing my radiator... had to nurse the baby home... looks like I have a Sunday project now!)

Great job switching over to vid for that! How's your rib Bob?

Had a great time today. Definitely the most challenging trails we've done yet. Made it out pretty unscathed, just one ripped rear fender flare. Thanks for the leading/spotting Bob, Taater, etc. I will work on the double footing and throttling (go go) :red|:)=)
#7
WOW. That's killer. (you should have had Jonathan tie up your cooler... he's a pro at that... 8| )

Seriously, ribs OK, Bob?

X2. Bob, Ryan... you guys rock. Thanks for taking the time to teach us newer guys. I thought that was more difficult than the Cracks, personally.

I got the XJ back in 2WD (finally) and will be adding a new radiator tomorrow. Already talked to Geoff about fabbing me up a bumper like his so I won't hang up so much... :cool)

It hurts... But I will live.

I had a great time. The Heep is not to happy but she never was. It did good and I got a few new dents.:)=)

You guys did great on the trail. They are not easy in any way. Yellow with a little work and a 4:1 you will own all of TM
#14
looks like you guys had fun. What happend to the tire?

Popped a bead. Just hi-lifted 'er and aired 'er back up and we were good to go.
#16
Evidently, my hi-lift runs on Monster... wasn't really present for the joke, but Ryan and Bob thought it was funny...;)

Team yellowsub... ya'll kick boo-tay. It's always a pleasure to follow your lines and push myself to tackle obstacles that you all take. Fun running with you today.
#17
When your high-lift pins got stuck they tried pouring Monster on it and it brought it back to life.

I will never fight Alan for a parking space at Safeway. That boy will do a 20+ point turn if he has to to sqeeze by and get in. ;)

I pity the cars around me... LOL

At "point" number 17 I couldn't feel my arms anymore. ;)

Great trip everyone! We had a blast even though we had to ditch our Jeep.
Thanks again Rob for letting me drive yours :)=)
