What we run.on Friday will of course depend on who is in the group. I don't know that anyone on Friday other than me and Tom will be running blacks, so we might just do easier trails with black lines. Ill figure it out with rockzj who is supposed to lead the blue group.
I think the last count I got was 15 with about 5 grand Cherokees among them: )

Just got back from a shortened weekend.
I saw no grand cherokees there on Friday, so I went out with Tom in a Teal TJ.
Ran 1C (the hills and bowls) and my power steering pump quit working. After a trip into town yielded a new pump (had sort of a scare because the parts monkey accidentally looked up a water pump when I called him to see if they had any in stock, but they had a power steering pump).
Got back on the trails and did the rock garden on 1A and then ran Boot Hill and Tombstone. We realized Tom ripped off a rear shock mount at some point and heading back to try to get it welded back on. The MIG welder at the office was broken and neither of us could stick weld, so he wheeled the rest of the weekend without a rear shock.
Went back out and ran CV, "O", and 8. During the last climb at 8, my tranny started slipping. We let it cool down, but my tranny was done. Tom literally pushed me out of the trail with his TJ and towed me back to camp once we got to the access roads.
Rode with Tom on Saturday and met up with Slim616 in the morning. The first trail we ran was Walk in the Park -- which is an intentional misnomer. Joe was the first one through the crawling portion and gave her hell going up the hill climb and heard a big pop. His pinion was pointing straight up in the air and his upper control arm rod ends, coilovers, and rear driveshaft were done. We winched him up the hill and he limped back to camp.
After getting things squared away, we headed back to run Cemetary and Rock Creek. Tom's tcase kept kicking out of 4LO even with the linkage disconnected, so we finished up shortly after rock creek.
Drive home was uneventful until a flat trailer tire, but that set us back only about 15 minutes.
Good times this weekend despite my tranny going bye bye.

I'm putting together videos right now. Just going to mash them together unedited. I got Joe's breakage on video, too -- well, at least the sound of the breakage.
Tom and I both forgot our cameras on Friday, so the only footage I got was from Sat.

It's a new trail. A couple of the guys I was with have been going there for years and they never ran it. If you turn into the beginning of the CV trail, it's on the left at the bottom of the hill. I wouldn't even attempt it with any less than 35s. I don't know if the hill climb at the end was even doable in its current condition with all the dirt that is accumulated on the rock slabs.

Since I'm "off" this year from wheeling my rig, the thought never crossed my mind. I have a wedding coming up in a couple weeks so I'll admit that my head hasn't been really focused much on wheeling.
