Went to this really cool place, it's called Crozet. Just a small list of carnage, exhaust on the Shayne's YJ and Karen got a shock mount, starter solenoid and last but not least well look at the last couple of pics. You will see. tim community.webshots.com/album/356248055oSbWzd

We had a pretty good time up there. I found a few things i need to tweek before paragon. Didn't have to much trouble with the stuff we ran other that popping my passenger side tire a couple feet into the air on that hillclimb. They said it looked pretty impressive from the top. I however didn't like the feeling from inside the jeep.
I am sure there will be plenty of more pics on here once everyone else gets back.

...popping my passenger side tire... Should you be using the words "popping" and "tire" in the same sentence?

Got some pics for the people that went. I'll try and find a way to post some of the pics in the next couple days. I can't believe that my Yota accually survived the run. Closer inspection on the way back home discovered that somewhere along the 2 days I dented the hawgs head on my diff and also candy caned my driveshaft. The ride back was uneventfull accept around 45 mph there was a god awful vibration. Any body got a rear drive shaft for an 85 toyota regular cab?
I don't know why your sweating Tony there was only about a foot to a foot and a half of air under the passenger front on Pete's demise when you caught the rock!

This was my first trail ride and I am kind of glad I didn't drive. ;D I rode with Paul G on this trip. It was surely something I will remember. Fran and Tony made everything look so easy and Richard made everything look, um, tight and small. With Richard, I made the suggestion of alot of Vaseline for the next trip to Crozet. Tony was right about his hill climb being impressive. So was Richard's trail fix on the same hill. I thought it was alot of fun and it was a blast. I am looking forward to many more trail runs with Tidewater, as a driver and passenger. Thanks goes out to everyone that made it there and made it fun, Fran for guiding us, Richard for some laughs, and Paul G for letting me ride and making me aware of the mods and upgrades I need to make to my own Yota before driving on the trails of Crozet.

Just a quick note this evening to say thanks to all who ventured out this weekend to wheel. Even the weather cooperated nicely. I think everyone had a great time. Not sure who seemed more happy to see a little body damage, Paul or Richard. Jim, you did great being your first time out these type of trails. You got that XJ through some tough stuff. Karen put her CJ5 through a few tests and the pictures are proof. Shane, keep wheeling, you'll be showing up Dad soon enough. Oh, and Jay, glad you stopped in on Sun. Now get some dis-connects and we'll get you flexed out better next time. Tony, thanks for helping out to spot and being Johnny-on-the-spot with Richards battery problem. You kept him on the trail so we could listen to some more power steering squeals. Russ, look forward to when you get your Yota out there. Less I forgot our short-time folks on Sat, Rich and Tracy hope you guys made it back ok. Tracy, I think you set the record for the largest vehicle to wheel at Crozet (K30).
Again, I'm glad everyone had fun and made it home safe. Fran

I just want to say thanks to everyone who helped me out this weekend, getting me unstuck a few times. I think every one helped to spot me more than one time. I got a little body damage but nothing to bad. What a great weekend when are we going back?
