Looks like you both had a great time. Both rigs look superb! Hopefully I can make it out there one day.

Looks very nice man! I had seen a lot of your posts on here, but never saw good pics of the jeep, mostly since I surf the KK forum, but that is one sweet looking jeep man!

Had an outstanding time wheeling yesterday. Learned a lot from both of them, and by the end was feeling more comfortable with the KJ and it's ability off road. Would not have gotten through without the great spotting they did and helping me pick the right lines up the obstacles. I would have to say my RL Super SKink Sliders was the best investment Ive made, as I used them ALOT yesterday. They took the full weight of the KJ multiple times, and only suffered some scratching, not dents or bends at all. And the GY MT/R's worked great, conformed to the rocks very well and gave me the extra traction needed due to running open diffs front and rear. Ended up cracking the OEM plastic bumper a bit, but not worried about it since it's on my future things to replace list.

I have to say that pictures don't come close to showing the outstanding job Troy has done with his KJ. Besides the attention getting paint job, what was most apparent was how much attention to detail he put into it and how you can see it was done right, start to finish. Everything looked professional, very strong and well thought out. And since I was bringing up the rear the entire time, I got to watch it in action as he climbed over everything with no effort at all. The rear end articulated perfectly, conforming to the terrain and keeping the body level the entire time. Best way I can describe it is that it flowed over everything, never seeming to struggle at all. For a first trail run to get it flexed out on the trail it was a total win.

I was able to get a few second vid with my phone of Troy's KJ wheeling.
