And so it begins...the only problem with taking stuff off is that the stuff you put back on cost a lot more money. And thanks for the video.

Here's our track. Pics will come later. I had an iphone hiccup and lost the start at Wendy's, but you can backtrack on the map if you want. The track will be good for a week or two.

I followed your track...take a good look at it. We managed to stay in the "creekbed" the majority of the time....and then all of a sudden we went from 400 ft to 1800 ft elevation. Pretty cool...

my internet is up/down/up...down.
give me a little bit to get things straight and I'll load my pictures.
BTW - it took $8 in quarters to clean off the mud and the owner of the carwash came over and told me I had to spray off his bay before I left
While cleaning....I found approximately 2 feet of snatch-strap wrapped around my front axle. I personally don't remember breaking a strap...guess I picked it up while "plowing" the mudpit.

If you start modding and need a hand, don't hesitate to post it on the forum. I'll help...hell...I think I speak for everyone when I say you 'earned' some wrenchin' time from us for your fine display of disregard for the welfare of a stock Sahara.

After my run to the car wash this morning, I discovered a nice dent in my step / rail, which apparentely was a victim of the same rock that claimed Prokchops' side step. I will try to post a pic up later. Other than that, and the RC Jeep, I don't think anyone had any other issues. Except for my pride being bruised, for not getting up the slope that Porkchop and Denny made it up.
