Made it back from Elbe.
3 zuks, a couple yj's, another xj and a cj.
We had a lot of breakage, so we were not able to run as many trails as we wanted to. One of the zuks broke the welds on both spring perches, had to be stick welded on the trail, held up for the rest of the run. Cj lost a bead and got really stuck in a mud hole. The xj broke a rear drive shaft u-joint trying to extract the cj from the mud hole and also has a crack behind the steering gear. One yj was having engine trouble towards the end the day couldn't diagnose on the trail.
All in all a good day, I want to go back again really soon, with some capable rigs. The trails we ran were fairly tight and most will not make it with out some body damage. You really need a winch and lockers to keep moving on these trails. Didn't really take any pics that turned out. Joe
