    The weather was awesome. 60 to 70 degrees all day. A little wind and a few swings in temps but all was well. The Florence Junction area was BUSY. We started the morning with a total of six rigs and got moving quickly for fear of getting behind a trail plug.

    The plan was to run Upper Woodpecker and High Way To Hell. Bryant and his clan decided to turn around at the end of Upper Woodpecker because of some Johhny Joint issues and some other issues.

    David, Justin and I decided to trek on and into H2H. Even with all my convincing Justin decided he wanted to be dragged through H2H. He was on the end of my strap at least 5 times. Hopefully this will convince him to buy a new rig or take the plunge with his WJ. Hint hint Justin!

    We finished H2H at about 3:30 and headed back to the trailers. I found my steering ram mount became a victim to the weekend. Needless to say I now have something to repair.

    Good weekend on a fun trail.

    Along with the J- Joint I also plunged a huge hole into the sidewall of the Front tire. Kind of pissed off since it is dipping into my Tube budget for the Bronco. My buddy with the TJ broke a spider hear in his 35 in that last 100 yards of woodpecker.

    Two or three body panels received a bit of tweaking.

    Bumper needs some attention.

    Rear diff skid and front diff took a beating.

    I need a belly skid.

    You can still get dehydrated on a cool day.

    Great day.

    yeah, only minor stuff.. that trail we did near cottonwood was the worst one.. and i don't plan on doing anything worse than that... maybe one of these days, when i have daily driver, but for now, its gotta get me around town, and up to the mountains, down to the dunes, etc..

    Were you guys able to check the driveshaft angle?
