Perfect weather for the weekend. As Clark said in another post, it was great to meeting new people and seeing g some old faces. Thanks to everyone the food and Brian thank you for the margaritas and country concert.

We had a group of 6 jeeps in the 37" under group and it was a blast.

I did not get a single picture or and videos. I was to busy lol. I did however end up with a little damage from trail 94 trying to squeeze between a rock and a hard place. Broke off passenger tail light assembly and bent both upper door body hinges.

I had a great time! Busted a steering box ( again) on Friday,  replaced it sat morning before wheeling with 37 and under group .  Popped a rear spring out on another trail, that was scetchy getting it back in.  Following Chucks lead on trail 94, I couldn’t get skinny enough. Ripped off passenger mirror, door handle and dented the door in.  Still had a blast and was able to drive it 3 hours home.
  Invited a friend up that had never been offroad before. By sat night he was hooked and is ready to get a Jeep .
Weather was perfect, fire was hot and margaritas were on point!
Absolutely, cannot beat a guitar around a campfire!
Get dirty, or get off the trail!

Hi lift was straight up and down when we started, we also had two other jacks under it. Spring was wedged against tire so me hat to take off wheel.
  Even after the time it took  to replace steering box, then spring.  We still wheeled for several hours.
Everybody just jumped in and helped .  Couldn’t ask for  better group to wheel and hang out with! Group pic on top of George Winter trail.

@8lugLJ flippin Crawler Hauler for the win! Do you have a shower setup yet? That would be killer after a dusty ride.
