Yeah, I heard that Crozet is the Latin phrase for "Lots of Jeep damage"! lol

Hopefully it doesn't end up raining buckets out there this weekend. :/

That was a "Blue". Their trail rating is not your typical system. I have heard that their "blues" are equivalent to Rausch Creeks upper blue/lower black rating. I haven't been up to Rausch yet, so I can't say for sure. They provide guides/spotters so if you listen to them then you will come out with only skid plates with rock rash. If you decide to take your own line then you could end up with body damage. All-in-all it is a really cool place to wheel. I will be joining there in the near future Enjoy and remember to post plenty of pictures

I got one of those earlier this summer.

Ended up doing some serious paint damage to my roomie's new Camaro that was parked in front of me in the driveway. lol

Where did you orders from? I just ordered a RK tie rod from Northridge. Love the prices/free shipping, hate how long it takes UPS ground to get from WA to VA!!!

Roomie was FLIPPING OUT, but I paid to get it fixed, so it all worked out. I thought the snorkel was a pretty straight-forward install. The only issue I ran into was breaking one of the three tabs that hold the air box down, but that was just me being stupid (again). If you haven't already seen the instructions, Quadratec should have a PDF that you can download that lists all of the tools and stuff you need. If you don't already have the circle drill bit or the rivet popper thing already, you're more than welcome to borrow mine (I'm near Indian River/Kempsville Road).

I HATE Quadratec's shipping fees, but it is kind of cool how (when something's in stock, and you place the order in the afternoon or earlier) it almost always is delivered the next day!

If you guys order from Qtec and let them know you're on JKForum or just go thru our rep then they will do free shipping. Oh, and they do military discounts too.
Adam will be out there working on his TJ with my coaching haha
