This was an incredible day, one of the highlights of my Summer. Tammy and I had soooo much fun. My wife is totally convinced I need a lift kit and bigger tires and she is encouraging me now to spend the money and rig it up right!
THE PICS HAVE BEEN E-MAILED to everyoune in the group, on OFOTO.COM. I would like to post them to this or another website, but do not know how. The Videos are really cool, with sound and everything. They are all AVI files and are between 2 and 9 megs each.
My take on the day: Perfect weather, we all showed up on time, all YJs with exception of Lauras brand new TJ! Trails in the woods ended, but we kept on going, through lots of trees and brush. Some areas were a tight squeeze and I lost part of my bumper on a tree, totally worth it! The smell of clutch filled the air as we climbed some rocky hills. I think someone else lost part of their exhaust system. We all had a few minor Jeep causulties which added to the excitment. Just when I thought we were all busted by the environmental police, the guy just stops and chats with us and makes us all jealous of his incredible job he has on his ATV and JetSki!
We bust out of the woods for some group photos and the Jeep parade starts down the suburban streets as we head on over for some lunch. Now the fun really begins as Laura finds us the MUD MOGS!! Wow, I know my Jeep will never be the same again as this stuff does not come off! Mud in every nook and cranny, especially the interior (no doors) and the engine bay, but again, totally worth it. Good, thick, smelly, pasty, deep brown mud everywhere!
Next with THE SAND PITS. I good area to really rip it up and do some serious damage! Jumps, thick sand, cliffs, and ramps all made for great photo opportunities.
I'll be back soon, boss is here...
