Was a very dry day. KJ went just about everywhere that my XJ did. Took a bit more damage though. Worst incident of the day was a crushed rocker, but the plastic covers it, so no biggie.

Quoted from my local site, too lazy to retype anything:

Had a good day. Got the KJ a few initiation marks to let everyone know its a real jeep now. My jeep is still overheating, but it got through the day well enough. I pulled a XXJ, but I was able to extricate myself.

The design of the rear suspension really limits droop.

Could not get her lined up with the drop off. I would have liked to have her come straight over the edge far to her right side. Her front right dropped into the hole and landed her on her rocker. The plastic covers the dent nicely though. Had to pull her backwards.

I guess a really short coil spring really hurts droop as well.

She was not happy with my XJ making everything look easy.

I know the spot you are referring to. No where near where we were. The spot you guys were having trouble with looks to be getting back to its old self. It almost flopped me 2 years ago when I first dropped in, then they seem to have made it easier. Now it appears to be holding water and making for a real nice mess.

Yes, very nice place. 750 acres, unlimited camping areas, 2 motor cross tracks, and a fishing pond.

Yeah, my domain expired because it was a long time ago when it was purchased, and I did not purchase it. So I am tracking down the guy who owns it to get it back.

The youtube has the pictures in it as well.
