yah I woudnt trust to tow or pull off them.... but it saved me from any and all body damage.......
this rig sure likes to crawl but it needs some maintenance, power steering was boiling, charcoal filter plugged up and I vapour locked, going to pull the rad and all the fun stuff up front, clean it all up, as well maybe get some more clearance to swap a oil pump gasket, as well probably look at replacing all of my brake lines

I have lights now... and my winch isnt quite ready im also contemplating a bigger winch...... I have an 8724 with a 9.5xp motor waiting to go in.... but Im really re considering a 10 or 12k winch....
also I dont know If I didnt tighten the side bolts enough or if the bumper wing bent in.... I dented the hell out of my fender flare from the wing hitting it.... Ill be pulling the bumper soon to do some behind the front clip work anyways so Ill take a look if its bent or just pushed in
otherwise it did well, a couple times i swore those letters were getting bashed in but every time I missed

i was a "nice" canadian for the first few minutes I turned nasty near the hot tubs when the guy in front me was getting no help.... I eventualy gathered the rest of the group and led them out with my buddy Ben
needless to say I led for the rest of my trail runs.... did Kane's Creek and spotted every obstacle, as well finished the Hells Revenge run
next year ive been asked to step up for the trail leading of a couple runs to hopefully get some of the TW group a little more open to spotting and assisting.....

Wow! What a memory you have now. I actually went out on a Dan Mick lead trail ride during EJS years ago when I was on the Jeep world.
