trust me, the getting stuck part was no fun and i'm grateful that we didn't go wheeling alone as we had planned.

I loved the picture of the two jeeps on the lake bed with the reflection of the jeeps on the water. Quite awesome.

I have to remember never to forget my hubs, i am not used to having to lock them in.
no kidding. problem with me is that we have 2 jk's and one still has factory axles. needless to say, i was scratching my head thinking, why am i not moving forward and that's when it hit me

As you know I was planning to go, but I have new steering issues.
I have to replace the steering column/shaft and steering wheel and it should be in on Tues.
With this issue I didn't need to go through the canyons.
Even thought it looked like a great day.
