My theme song for this run was "Hit The Skids" by Local H. The new AllJ rails proved their worth, and even the gas tank skid took a hit or two.

Casey takes the "easy" line while Dan goes the hard way:

Casey starts down Three Feathers:

Dan starts through the squeeze at the end of the trail, and goes all cross-axle before...

...slamming down on the side rail:

Water!

Vern takes a lunch break in the shade under the falls:

Although I weenied out and didn't drive my unlifted Libby all the way to the end, we got it in and out with only skid scrapes and a tiny spot of rim rash (and another dent in the muffler). And we only had to stock a single rock, at a spot where my diff (and drive shaft) were just starting to hang up.

All in all an enjoyable run. Thanks all!

Russ

I still have to make that run sometime. Nice pictures as always Russ, I'll bet Dan was glad he had those Poison Spyder rails on the TJ!
