Didn’t have any Staff members make this ride so I stepped in and officiated the drivers meeting and led the group to GBU. The left line of Good was actually more technical than Bad. Everybody walked right up Good and Bad. I saw Dave run Ugly we moved on from here to Gauntlet and had a good run until Jody got stuck up top. Shaun and I eventually winched him off his perch. He got it Stuck like Chuck. After Lunch at camp and Jody’s Birthday party (we got him cupcakes and sung him Happy Birthday) we headed over to Los Primos and then ran out to the end and took the scenic route back to Los Primos. It was a really killer day. Thankful for no rain.

I just dumped a bunch of photos on The Facebook page. Carnage wise my rear locker engaged for about 5 minutes and then started doing the same thing it’s done the last 2x. Ever since it was installed it has never worked for more than 5 minutes. I’m not sure what to do about it at this point.

Jody managed to mangle his stock rear drive shaft, tore the boot off, probably on Guantlet.  Typical JK rear drive shaft failure, it still works but the plastic dustbboot is crap.

I saw Jeremy got into something on his new JL front passenger fender. Soon to be replaced with tube fenders.

Great day of wheelin on Friday. Traction for days. Played on GBU for a while. Ran the good, the bad, and the far left line. Kirk talked Marc into running destabilizer. Then went on to run the gauntlet.  Was pretty impressed!!! Everyone ran Hornets nest. Pretty cool to see the first JL on the trails.

Hot doesn’t even describe it. Ended up leaving Saturday morning. The wife wasn’t feeling well. Think it might have had something to do with mellow mushroom. Pretty bummed not to get a second day of wheeling in.

Kevin, is POTM this month going to be only for Morris pictures?


WOW, Jay should get a demerit for having a new jeep, being staff, and not making this trip.  Shame, shame.  @raisinhead

Big thanks to the J-Team (Jeff, Jimbo, and Jeremy) for help in getting my spare on the buggy.  Other than that no issues all weekend for me.

Lots of traction overall, the best I can remember at Morris.  Both Trailabite and I made V-notch, as well as a potential member from Cartersville who showed up with a new rock bouncer buggy.  Phil gave it a good go in his stretched Rubicon.  Los Primos was real dry, and I climbed it a lot closer to the hard side than ever before.  Wish I'd looped back for another go further right. 

Hornets Nest was a good challenge for most rigs, as we found a good line at the top for those without lockers.  Same with Gauntlet as long as one didn't get too ambitious with the exit line.  I did one trip up Gator, and it's gotten a good bit tougher.  I'm not sure if anyone else attempted it.

Had a great trip, having either a hot coil or hot fuel rail problem  Will run fine for 30-45 min then it will start missing, low idle then finally die.  Let it cool down 30 min and it will start right up and run fine until it does it again. ( engine temp is 210-220 on trails). No issu s on the 3 hour drive home at hiway speeds)
  As long as I can keep it running I’m happy with the progress so far.  I need bigger tires,( don’t we all)  only on 33’s.

man, I feel I worked all weekend !
Playing on Saturday was a lot of work.
Here are some pix ( note: I am , like, the worst picture taker in history) and some videos that Cadence captured. It was a great day. Happy birthday to Jody and to Dave. Thanks for cupcakes & hospitality, Jimbo. It was cool getting to hang with a lot of folks I have been in different groups than during past rides.
We even made a few new friends in a buggy that was a monster and Jeremy had his new Jeep JL Unlimited out wheelin it hard!

Shaun...


Jeremy in a new JLU was usin it like God intended:

we can pull him off of it twice as fast if we use two winches! 😉

Aside from bad p[hotography, I am also horrid with names... we had some guys come out in a bad-@ss buggy and wheel all day with us. Jimbo & I told 'em to join up and have this much fun once a month:



thanks everybody...good people make a good time better
