Nice pictures. Does Evan feel the need to flip his heep every trip?

Who did I see parked at 35 Melville Park road today? Rescue Green, unlimited with Mopar cover on it.

Why can't I stay subscribed to this thread?! Are you guys trying to get rid of me?

There's a reason those rocks were on the trail: there's no way up without 'em (not with anything we were driving). And NO BY-PASS! That ledge is about 4' up.

There's another spot that's even steeper but there are other rocks permanently situated to allow short wheelbases up. that's the spot that claimed my tire pinching the sidewall on the rim.

besides, I finally got to use my new winch!

That's what happens when it's a Rubicon-only run. Lots of "I have a Rubi so I can climb Mt. Kilimanjaro"...then they break out the winches and stack rocks.

Just kidding Adam.

Seth, not sure. The ol' girl hasn't been doing what Evan has been asking it to do. He's been beating on her a bit more than usual. Though, he's re-doing his suspension so it won't buck like a Bronco at the 1st sign of torque. We'll see how it turns out.

Well I thought Mettowee was pretty damn soft. But, I finally took a good look at the JK and I wrecked the 1/4 panel at the bottom side of the door, already rusting and caused the door line to stream off now. Wrecked the tire carrier and in turn, wrecked the tailgate in the process. Landed on the 1/4 panel pinch seam under the tail light, again. More body damage to add to the list...
