Had another great ride at Mountainside. Won't bore everyone with another dozen pics, but here's a couple to provide a little flavor of what it was like.

Up on Donkey's Ledge with two JKs, a YJ, and a very feisty CJ7.


Some folks thought my sway bar was NOT disconnected, but looking at the below pic makes me think everything is working as advertised. However, the Rubi was flexing so much, I probably need longer brake lines in order to ride trails that cause this kind of flex (they were tight - was glad they didn't rip off).

Yup!! It was as much fun this time as the last, and I was worried that the experience could only be worse being we had such an absolute blast last time.
Here's another pic I posted on the forum with reference to whether I was disco'd.

Well when we got up on the side of the mountain that morning with temps in the mid 50's and a stiff breeze blowing, I was having second thoughts about leaving my doors behind. But when the sun came out and it warmed up, I was glad I left them behind. Even my daughter told me how much better it was without the doors compared to with doors the last time.

No doubt man, looks like lots of fun to me! Don't you know that you are building bad habbits for your daughter? One day she will be spending all her money on jeeps too!

It was fun. Next time we go, you can join me up to the top of this little rock face. I know you don't have that screen name for nothing.

It's too late, I've already planted that evil thought in her head. Here she is taking her first hill.
