Just got back from vacation. Not sure if I can make 28/29 Aug but will check.
Last trip (June) had me throw and twist my suspension by almost 2 inches. Left side was completely out. Also smashed up and destroyed the electronic sway bar disconnect.
haven't replaced the e-disco due to price but had the jeep in the shop for three days while they tried to figure out why I was out so much and how to correct it.
The worse part was that I took the hit on that hill that i took the easy way up and someone guided me (right into a hole).
A full weekend can be tough for me to schedule but I am sure I can make one day of the two.

Awweee, that sucks Brian, I didn't realize you had damage from that run. Although I was behind you and heard some bad scraping sounds while going through one part 
Hopefully you can make it out for the day..... over a month to go

I hope you can too. On the plus side it is SIX weeks away, so you have some time. If you need any help or tools make sure you let us know.

Hopefully everyone can make it out. Like said, still plenty of time. How many people would be interested in staying the night, trying to see where a good location would be to spend the overnighter.

EDIT:
x 2
Option 1: buy swaybar, JKS disco, and AEV Procal to turn off computer
Option 2: leave it in place - connected though and buy JKS disco's, then you can use the manual or electronic (some of the forums perfer this method)
BUT I would then do the MOD to raise it up higher and out of the way.
Then again, I have the Procal, so I would toss ( umm sell $$$$$) the whole e-disco unit, and go buy a winch, bumper, or what ever else. PPl will pay huge bucks for this unit.
