The pictures dont really do justice on how hard this stuff was.
Maybe over the summer if I can get some tickets, I'll def let you know. Maybe I'll come down with a buddy of mine if you don't mind. Those trails look amazing. We have NOTHING here whatsoever like that.

Glad you made it home ok. This is one day I wish it was raining so some of the mud would wash off the jeep.

Just started cleaning all the mud of my jeep, fun stuff. The wheels on my wj are eagle alloys, I don't remember what model they are.

Yeah, it actually has drove better than it has ever before, kinda strange lol. Maybe its from all of the rocky offroading we did, eveything on the road just felt smooth afterwards. And yes im hoping for a downpour of rain, theres a lot of mud to clean out from underneath.

When you guys get the chance, check out my flickr page, I edited some of the pictures, or atleast the good ones..

Dude, gotta wheel in Western Mass. There's lots of stuff like that on the east coast.

Hahaha, yeah it was such a surprise once I looked at my right wheel was nearly touching my fender, I was like wtf.. Strange thing is that I was getting a rubbing on my inner fender a mile or so back on the trail, so the bolt was out for some time. Definitely if your working on your suspension, I suggest getting RED locktight. Lesson learned
