Steve, I'd first like to say thank you for putting on this event. I was absolutely shocked on the turnout. I've done other club gatherings in the past, but were nothing like yours! This was my first offroading trip in the jeep, and I had alot of fun and stressed out at the same time. I definitelty still have a lot to learn and some stuff that I'll be purchasing soon. My neighbor had the stock TJ Rubicon that made the 2nd part and his first time on that trail. I was impressed with his rig and dissapointed with mine. So, I'll be changing that
I met a lot of guys, too many to remember namesHowever, I'd like to personally thank the older gentlemen with the full size truck that was behind me!! Sorry for not catching your name, but thanks for all the pointers and keeping an eye on me
Chad
I'm glad you had fun. What was stressful about it? Did you do rattlesnake trail (part 2)? THe rubicons do so well because they have lockers and low transfer case gears. low gears do wonders.

yeah, let's get him signed up on RME
No it was my own fault. I waited for some people coming up the tailings and then when I got over the edge I lost y'all.
Thanks for all the tips and help from the three or four guys that freely offered it, and the guy who helped me learn how to get out of that mud hole on the way up, that helped a TON later on in the run. Big thanks!
Next step, locker, big time. :greg:
We didn't get many pictures due to the dark. But here are two my friend snapped going up the tailings. And one at the top of the hill before you drop down to the base of the tailings.

wow, my foot doesn't taste as good as I remembered. Way to go dude in the red jeep!
did he go right up the stairs, or did he straddle it on the right side?

He just went right up it....well it took a couple tries but he went up the hard part. He really knew how to work the skinny pedal and not care. He still had stock gears and stock axles too. Dana 30 and 35 and nothing broke. His name is Tim from Grantsville I think. He is the one that Chandlers buggy slid into a few weeks ago.
