We must have left just after you arrived. Bummer.

Did they let you take the KJ over the "big" rocks or did you have to stay on the small pebbles?

I liked that course as well. We took a Rubicon on it. It would have been even cooler with a big mud pit or some water fording though.

I saw you guys on the playground but by the time I got out there you all were gone.

They would only let us go over the pebbles in the KJ but it was still cool.

This event did make me glad I decided to go for armor first then a lift probably in the spring.

You got one mean looking KJ what lift do you have on it?

Did that blue KJ happen to look like this...
That may even be you in the background of the first pic!

Yup, that was you! And I think that IS me, as I don't have a spare cover!

I have a "Links4Jeeps.com" sticker, I'll have to get LOST stickers too.

I tried the dips too, where you have a pic of "Jim, testing out the stock rock rails". Did everyone rub rocker panels there? I don't have rails, but was glad for the plastic cladding on the rockers!

My KJ didn't get nearly as muddy as many other Jeeps there. Maybe I'm just a tidy driver. :) I didn't spin the wheels much in the mud. Also, I noticed that the mud hole was a lot less sloppy as the day wore on.

Good times, sorry we didn't get to talk!

That's the Frankenlift. Combined with the rubi rims and tires it gives it a nice look, imho.

On the mogul section I have a picture of my KJ in the exact same spot and I had a couple inches to spare before my boulder bars would have touched. I'm sure it just depends on the particular line you took. 6 inches one way or the other may make all the difference.

They stopped refilling the pit with water so it dried out.

With a lot of weight added in my KJ, my MTR's rubbed a lot in the rear while going over the bumps.

If my friends and gf hadn't been with me, I would've waited in line to try a Rubicon and a Commander. They didn't want to make the long wait. Same with hanging out there longer and looking ofr other LOST members.

My KJ is all cleaned up on the body now, but the mud is hard to remove underneath. Don't feel like filling the car wash with quarters. I need to get a hose at my condo.
