Act feels and looks alot better now than when I posted earlier, but still wouldnt do it again.
That's cool. Sorry I had to bail, but last night was drama filled, and just made sense to head home.
I'll add to the list of breakage, add my brand new set of front shocks, looks like I blew them out again, and add a set of control arm bushings. Other then that a great time on the trails Friday and Sat.

Thanks to all the organizers and trail guides. Had a great time out there and escaped with minor damage, only a tire. Thanks to Tyler, Jamie and Mike for the great spotting. Looking forward to the next JK fest.

Can't believe you drilled your finger. I think they were pulling your leg on that.

Thanks to ALL our members who where able to attend!

I had a great time, I tried to get to talk to most, I apologize if i missed you. WOW there where a lot of people!

Thanks PIAJ & Bustabizz for a great weekend, it would not have happened without your efforts.

The better half did just fine (in fact perfect in my opinion) for her first time out, she had a blast, didn't speed, didn't tailgate, put her tires right where they should have been every single time... but unfortunately got a touch of the flu or something so we ended up having to bail off the trail so she could go lie down and feel like hell in private.

I did get to drive a little, so . Wasn't much, just enough to tease me. In fact, the only bumps and scrapes we received, where from when i was driving and slid off/upended a table rock. It flipped up on one end, whacked the bottom, and a slid sideways and ran a downed branch across a fender. So, the first Rausch Tattoo i added.

Downside? I had planned on her going down some greens to get her confidence up a little, then move back to the modified group so i could give a shot at amending my sidesteps.
Didn't happen this time around, but there is always next time. and I am already looking forward to it.

The better half has already asked about unloading her VUE and getting her own Jeep.

I have effectively pulled her over to the Dark Side...
muahahahahahahahaha....


I am so proud of her...

They can use them, there's no electricity involved, LoL. Still would have been something to see, especially with the dresses.

I have some more, but I don't want to make this post insanely long.
Dude you were tearing up the trails in your rig. Sorry bout the tire, still don't know what the hell you hit in that hole we went through? I was right in front of you when it happened. I have video footage and some pics. Once I get everything uploaded I will send you some, or atleast give you the link to photobucket or youtube for them.

I had a good tim leading you guys! we pretty much saw the whole park!

team daily driver covered a LOT of ground.
Haha, yeah we did. Thanks for getting me to that mud hole. That's all I wanted all day long was to get muddy. I see you're near the 'Burg. Well I am from Erie, so if you ever wheel anywhere in between, send me a pm and maybe we can meet again. If I am not mistaken you asked me about erie jeep people? Thanks for the spotting, as I only did minimal damage. Both of my side steps are cracked, I already convinced the wife into getting some good rock sliders. The Jeep almost overheated on me with about 40 miles left to get home. I'll have to remember to hose the radiator clean before I leave next time. It was caked with mud from that hole we went into. I was wondering why my air conditioning wasn't working right on the way home.
