I hope everyone had a good time this weekend. If you have pictures, videos, or stories, please feel free to post them here. See y'all on the next trail.

Great seeing so many new faces out there! I don't think I had a chance to meet everyone, but hopefully you all had fun and will return for a future ride.

Here's a few pics from our group. I think only one of us had any breakage, which was unfortunately on the first trail of the first day, but I'll let him talk about it.

And happy birthday to Justin! We celebrated by having the waitress slap him in the face with whipped cream Friday night

I think I get the dunce hat this trip, I broke twice this weekend: U-joint in the front passenger axle shaft, and then pulled/bent my diff cover enough to start leaking. But such is life breaking in the Jeep after a major change like an axle swap. Still getting used to the lockers, wider axles, and a bigger pumpkin in the back. But unlocked the hubs and rode in 2nd off the trail after @Will helped me get winched out of the muddy mess I broke in on Friday. Oreilly’s had the spicer u-joints in stock and I had it swapped in by 8pm. A BFH fixed the diff cover, and I had extra oil packed. I’ll post up some pics in a bit. Thanks all the guys who pulled cable, were spotters and led us on the trails.

My ring gear in the rear end decided to rain on my weekend on Friday on the obstacle at the top of rebel ridge. I ended up riding passenger with Rob for the rest of Friday and Sat and had a great time. Just a few teeth missing on the rear...

Not a dunce hat. That broken joint is a participation trophy. Its only given to those that show up and wheel though!
