I keep hitting next page hoping that there will be more after reading the whole thread but it's not working! There are no more pages :(

Great thread, fun to see all of your adventures and the evolution of your xj

Not many updates I suppose. Went down to Farmington for the WERock grand nationals with Chance (chocflip201) as my last-minute spotter and we got 2nd in our class. Then went to Reno for Supercrawl and got 2nd/3rd (it's complicated).

Since then I've just been driving it around the neighborhood and trying to figure out what I messed up in Reno. That's comp life lol

I update my FB and IG with pics occasionally if you're interested-
FB "personal" page: Nate RCFS Hurst

Time for an update? The ol' girl is still kicking.
First place at WERock Cedar City in May.
Third place in the crawl and second in the race at OSRC the next weekend.
Wheeling HTT with family and friends. Added kid seats to the back for maximum enjoyment.

Good to see Nate. I love hanging tree trail. It's been a few years since I have run that. Would love to go run it soon is when the weather cools down.

Thanks buddy.

I hadn't been there since I ran it with you 3 years ago. I'd love to run it with you again. I'm hoping to make it down south this fall/winter to do some wheeling with you. It's been too long my friend! I hope things are going okay.

Me too, me too! Maybe I can hang out with the huge kids, despite my lack of XJ. (and excessive height)
