All went pretty well. 3 Grand Cherokee's and about 150 Toyota's(Marlin Crawlers event was going on same weekend) We ran everything but the little sluize. The only breakage was my rig. I was playing on a ledge and blew my ring and pinion! This in turn had me running Cadillac Hill in 2wd low range. After awhile my drag link gave out and I had to winch to a spot for repair( I was holding up about 30 yota's) In the end we got it fixed and I only wiched 3 times on the hill. I can't wait till next year! What a great place to have Fun,Wheel, and Enjoy scenery.

Sweet Grands. I've got to take mine back down and run the Con agian. So the front Dana 30 and 37" Krawlers don't mix? I'm on 35" Toyo's on my front HP 30 and that's the limit for me. I'll be swapping a larger front axle before larger tires.
 
Sweet pics. I'm headed there next friday. :cool:

What I do find amusing is you guys are in Grands and you still have stuff strapped to your roofs and. :haha:

I was thinkin the same thing Karl......

Sweet pics. Thanks for sharing. And the one with the bikini clad girlie? Where's the Toyota? :redneck:
 
I had 3 people in my Grand. i wanted to keep all the gear inside below window level so the tent,canopy,chairs,3 sleeping bags and clothes went on the roof. Inside was 3 people,1 super cooler,1 ARB cooler,tools,spare parts,food,:beer: ,hard alchol,more spare parts, etc. wish I would have brought a spare R&P:looser: . I went down thinking It would all be inside but then my brother-in-law wanted to go so we had to do some rearranging.
Glad I made room, he's funny when he drinks! We got slammed Sat. and ended up crosssing the river about 4 times in the dark going to diffrent camp sites. I woke up in the morning with a fat lip and my brother-in-law had a huge lump on his forehead. He also took a face down nap in the bushes for a couple of hours.LOL. GOOD TIMES
 
Got a disk made and put together a little Yota section!(In case anyone id wondering I had yota stuff in my last rig. I'm still a fan even though I have a JEEP now.

Here's where I broke my R&P, and one of the squezes in the Old Sluise. I think I'll get a photo when I'm on top and actually broke when my buddy gets his pics done.

Short Arms? Rockkrawler long arm kits what I'm running. Thats called to much droop. haven't you ever seen suspension load up front and rear while going up a ledge? I'm at the limiting straps front and rear in that shot! It will shrink anyone's wheelbase! You'll really see it in action if you play with R/C crawlers. Also notice that my tires turned so the angle of the shot makes it even goffier looking. i know yur just giving me **** but still wanted to argue my case:D
