Pics from Paragon, Sept 3rd

Man that was a blast!! This was my 1st time wheeling with the 80. It would crawl over any thing and every thing. But the the real problem comes AFTER that, ground clearance. Now I know what people really mean by getting hung up on the frame. My only issue was the rear control arms bracket. Although the truck would slide right out. I was truely amazed by the trucks capability. This gave me a good idea what lift and other stuff I should get. One can really do great without any front and rear lockers. I had more fun watching the jeeps. Our trail guid's 2004 rubicon had a busted U joints, couple other kids blew the motor in their wrangler in the mud. I stayed out of mud, cause I H8 it

. Any way, here are the pictures. One bad thing about driving by yourself is you have to take your own picture, especially in a big group. I wish I could take more pictures but this is the best I could do. enjoy

Looks like fun. I was just there for the Gotham City Cruiser Classic 2005 in June. I would like to go back soon.

Great to see an '80 in the bunch.

What trails did you run?

I ran the regular green trails. The objective of this run was to find out what lift and other stuff would I need. As this was my first time wheeling with an 80. People were surprised to its capability so was I. Bottom line is there's NOTHING like wheeling an 80.
