    Did you guys survive? I had a rough Saturday morning and had to be towed back up mosquito ridge because my friend is a shitty driver. Not sure which way you guys went but we turned right down to oxbow and he went right and straight up the hill and hit a tree. 2 flats and and a busted radiator. We had to wave down some fellow wheelers to go up the road to get service. You guys might have seen them. Couple of jeeps, red yota with a flat bed, primer gray yota (dude with goofy sunglasses), and a reddish willys. Hope you guys had fun and looking forward to pics

    Not bad, but I won't know if I have vibes from the driveline until I get my ATs back on. I rearranged some wheel weights (as in they are still on the trail somewhere), so the MTs were a little off on the way home.
    But glad I did the alignment adjustment before leaving.

    Jerry how are your skids, mine took a beating.

    Anyhow awesome group and perfect number of vehicles. We had a blast, we'll see you back out there GHOSTFJ with ARB up front.

    Yeah my skids are beat to shit I'm ordering skids today because these stock ones won't last another trail like Hell Hole. My sliders and my rear diff took a pretty good beating as well got to do some painting of the sliders and fab up some rear diff armor.

    well I wasn't pissed about the damage until I saw a large hole in the elocker this morning. What pisses me off even more is a cheap elocker skid would have saved it :mad:

    Definitely need some rear diff armor.

    You guys know any good Bay Area wreckers, preferably Santa Rosa area.

    Well $125 and I'll have another one from an 2002 Tacoma on my door step tomorrow morning. Thanks to TLS Auto Recycling, in Sac.

    As for the skids, I have plenty of steel laying around
