Good day up there yesterday. We took our sweet ass time and outside of a half hour or so of light rain had the best weather I've ever had on Wheeler. We had my ZJ, Pam's ZJ, an XJ, and two TJ's. It was my first "real" trail with the 35's and everything worked out great. I have zero compression braking, and am putting a lot of strain on my torque converter with 3.73's still, but gears will just have to wait. Anyways, on to the pics!

Justin (ColoradoXJ on CO4x4) figuring out he should've waited for a spotter

The aftermath of Noah (rubbersidedown on CO4x4) not waiting for a spotter. Ended up on his side with some damage to the a-pillar, windshield, and door. Luckily him and his passenger were okay though.

I'm going to have to head up there and hit that trail sometime. It looks beautiful!

Dave: the 35's look great!

That trail is definitely great - only place where you can't just pick any line is bowling ball hill, and even that is doable by a near stocker. Amazing scenery all the way up.

Sucks to hear about the flop and near flop, but glad everybody's okay.
