So How was the run? I am on call so i could not make it. Besides, I don't think my stocker would do this trail.

Just got in, will post pictures tomorrow. It was an awesome trail, not stocker friendly, unless you have full armor and tow points.

It turned out to be a very long day since we delayed our return trip to help a guy who's buggy pretty much self destructed (front drive shaft, steering gearbox, trans problems, and destroyed rim). It was a great run and every skid I have got a beating. Here's a few pictures Jen and I took during the run though they seem to have posted in reverse order. Click on the Wheeler Lake album.

Great pictures, I really wish I'd been able to go. Looks like you guys had alot of fun, and the buggy tow should add some good Karma points.

Looking at a few of the obsticles, I think my belly may have gotten a few scratchs. I may need to think about something more than the OEM skids. I also think that had I gone, my sphincter pucker probably wouldn't have loosen until tomorrow afternoon sometime.

Yep, it was a long day...

Update, my flat was not the tire at all... I ripped the valve stem, and am lucky I did not do it to two of them!! I have a front one that is bent too, not as bad, but you can tell it got caught!

Well, luckily that's a cheap fix. I think we did very well on the trail considering it's supposed difficulty. When I first scheduled this run, I asked some questions on the CO4x4 site about difficulty and takings KJs up there, and those guys went nuts, some saying keep them off that trail because it will screw up the trail for the guys that can make it and we would hold up traffic, and all that good stuff, so we got the last laugh. I think you guys handled it a lot better than some of the other trails we have done.

WOW! Great pics! I wish I could have gone. I was disappointed when I helped my friend move and it took us less than two hours. I got some free Fat Tire Amber Ales out of it but I would've rather have been on the trail with you guys. Oh well, help a friend in need.

You guys should post those Wheeler pics on Colo 4x4.org and show them what KJ's can do......and what buggies can't....well, just that you had to help a buggy.
