    Photos and videos posted:

    I uploaded the photos to my family's photo site because that's how the fam keeps up with me and I'm too darn lazy to sit and upload them to multiple places... if you want a high-res copy of any photo PM me and I will email the photo(s) to you.

    Some chicks in a Jeep eventually make it up, but not on this try...

    Well that's all the photos I have and those are the only videos that turned out okay. Next time I'll be better prepared and will be fully charged and hopefully will be able to take a lot more photos / footage!

    The ground was still wet but it didn't rain a drop on us the whole time... we even got some sun!

    Thanks to all you guys for letting a noob tag along and share in the fun. You guys are top notch and I look forward to wheeling again real soon! I learned a lot and it only cost me a wheel, LOL - I'll try to post pics of that later!

    PEACE

    Did my post run damage assessment this morning to see if I missed anything. Took some pics.

    The slider
    [​IMG]

    The fender
    [​IMG]

    And the new discovery, the skid plate
    [​IMG]

    Bud saved my exhaust. You can see where the line of the skid was originally on the right edge of the picture by the frame cross member and how much its twisted by the distance from skid to bolt hole on the bud crossmember.

    We'll see if anything else turns up after I wash it. Had a great time, lookin forward to the spring meet.

    and nate is the biggest vag since it stopped raining before 4am on saturday and was bright and shiny yesterday and today...what a wuss.

    i think we're looking for a mid-may next meet, but i dont think we'll be planning it out until like feb

    Right click link. Save Target As.

    I just washed my truck and I think I accidentally used steel wool instead of a wash cloth cause I don't remember some of that scratches. For that matter theres some scratches on my driver's door and I can't find the scratches I expected to be on that slider. Hmmm. The plot thickens.

    Oh Jamie did you scoop up my axe? I remembered when I was half way home.

    Firefox v3.0.4 prompts me to open or save when I click the link.

    That axe has a date with the grinder when I get it back.

    I'll be honest when I first looked at it I didn't look that hard and thought it was an exploded tie rod end or something. It wasn't recognizable as a tool. That thing got housed.
