Billy and I made it back fine. My passenger rear door matches the other side now and the driver door only opens half-way (again!). Gotta pull the fender back out! Billy popped a rear driveshaft u-joint after bouncing on the bottom of Heckler's. Good fusible link and it happened at the end of today. I guided VBJOR (most were Crozet newb's) and everyone had a good time with minimal damage. Only hard part broken was a tierod, which I had a spare so no problem. Thanks Sam (MPJAI) for the rollover show in Body Shop!  |

Yup..had a blast....very minor body scrapage for me...but TONS of GREAT moments on the rocks. OH, but AGAIN...a FREAKIN' rock hit my windshield on the way back...and I am not talkin' like a little pebble, I'm talkin' a massive boulder hit the windshield and put TWO cracks in it. I JUST had the last windshield replaced like....300 miles ago. Gotta love the aerodynamic Jeep.  |

My buddy tells me that most windshield chips and cracks are from following too closely. Chele, is this true?

I ain't even touchin' that, Norm.... ;D I have a feeling she may have been in the vicinity of a gravel hauler.... I remember one of my lessons in following too close... busted both headlights and chipped the windshield all to hell. Luckily, it was a beater piece of junk, for which I had some useable spare headlights for and another windshield for!
EDIT: OH YEAH... where are the PICS and VIDEOS!?!?!?! ;D

She was behind me in the convoy, I wouldn't say she was following too close I suppose. Usually all the rocks fling out of my tires in the first mile on-road and when one does it makes a racket in the fenderwell on the way out! I didn't hear anything before Michele's "oh, darn"! (not exact words lol) I think maybe one dropped out of a skid plate or was just in the road and I hit it...  |

Sounds like a good time, but that's expected when going to Crozet. Wished I could have been there. So Dave, did you recruit a few new members? I mean, did you convert a few over to "wheeling"? Maybe some went home having the MIBS bug. (Make It Bigger Syndrome)  |

Yes yes...I was probably following a little too close, but not really...I mean...Richmond traffic..ya gotta stick together. Here is my noble attempt at Drivetrain Debauchery......didn't make it. Maybe with some bigger tires next time.  I have more pics, but haven't really slept since Saturday night since I worked all night last night until 11:30 am! |
