Yes, Sunday was fun for me too. Thanks Jack for hanging out and showing me around.

I've got some cool pics of Jack but they're at home, I'll upload tonight.

Default Trail Damage

Okay, here's some photos of the trail damage I suffered. This does not include the numerous trail pinstripes in the paint and fenders. Funny thing: I even have one on a door and I didn't even have the doors on!!!!

Tire punctures (found second puncture this morning). New tire should be in at Four Wheel Parts tomorrow:



Bunged up hard top when I slid into a tree. That one big crack is all the way through right where the top folds around--I expect this must be repaired before we lift the top up lest it spread:



After reaching the highway, the ESP and BAS/TCS lights came on and stayed on. The steering wheel was turned at ninety degrees when driving straight ahead. Adjusted the drag link about 1/4" to fix it and the lights went out. So I've got my fingers crossed this one will be okay without further expense.

I don't know how effective it would be. What, with crawling speeds, there would have been a lot of heat build-up and I think it might have caused the engine to overheat. Just speculation, but I think it was best to crawl without the air conditioner on. Anyone with actual experience, I'd be interested in your thoughts.

Yeah I had mine on and off all day. I only turned it off when it really heated up..but sometimes I'd turn it off because it would cause the engine to run really hot when idle.

Admittedly on sunday I had my doors on (and suprisingly sustained no real damage) when I went out with Jerry..and it was much nicer inside the JK. Although I really didn't like the view being cut down. Made it harder to see where I was going. Can't underscore the value of being able to pop your body out the side when you're looking down a 45 degree hill.
