Photos or it didn't happen
Here are some before & after photos. I don't want to muddy up the Wagon run with these pics, so I'll just put them off to the side.

It was too damn hot here to get pics underneath, I'll add the before/after of the skid plates this weekend when I get a chance to lift her up a bit, and take some new ones early in the morning

Ron the link that was sent out will filter them by the time stamp so they will make a perfect end to the main wagon run album! Please add them, you won't be muddying anything!

That's great news. I'll call him for the story!
Great time at the Rubicon this year and many thanks to the Pryor clan. Especially for the filets on Thursday night! Very nice to see everyone at once and reconnect.
Anyone know what happened to the guys with the broken 60s? I'm hoping they made it out with my axle shafts intact!
And somehow, someway, we need to make sure someone in the wagon clan wins the damn chain saw next year!!!
rollin up the 5, flipped 271172 on the ODO. goin on 37's with the new OD gears in the Tcase from the crew at VH makes a way better RPM than 34" toyos.
Met up with some Doods in Sac for tacos then hit fresh Pond for last Fuel and the entrance to the Promised Land at Loon Lake Dam.
First Camp site up on the slabs just past the Gatekeeper was really killer.

some guy rolls up in a chugging 60 with shiny parts under it and everybody went slackjaw.
The Blue 60 has seen more than a bakers dozen of these runs, and that's about all the body damage you can find....for now.
Momma Pryor shows her son how it's done....LEGIT. The Limo did really well.
A little history in the rear view mirror. @Cruiserdrew 's 40 is a staple on the 'Con. @TrickyT did a superb job driving/leading/gunning/spotting/everything.
it's not everyday you see a Sheriff in a built rig.

then i went radio silent for a bit and forgot to take pics, hoping my 10 year old would get some cool shots with his camera, but i think he took more pictures of the helicopter landing at Buck and a squirrel he saw...
now on to the tree rock in Big Sluice.
the traditional Bridge poser.
And then some wiring magic from Drew on my fridge cable.

@woody has to stack rocks for his breakfast, funny; since he wont stack a rock or use a locker for anything else. Priorities bro!
the best views of the springs....
then @Cruiserdrew drops some knowledge on soon to be married Pryor boy @JohnnyOshow22 and a super sweet '62 coleman 413. (you have to say super sweet like Cartman)
it's straight up legit.
Like popping a dude from 234 with a Deagle, no scope....

Steve Williamsen (driving the green 60 “princess?”) made it to placerville. He was sorting out driveshafts before driving to SoCal. I did not hear about his buddy who was swapping birfs in camp.
When your scaler has a scaler....hunnerd.
we didn't get any rainbro's on the trip...I apparently tried to flop on the way out, had a few wheel stands during the week, and the passenger seat has a seat cone from a 10 year old.
Great week with internet friends. great grub, memories and laughs.
Stoked we did it safely, and can't wait for another one.
I told my son I would love to do it with his child one day....hopefully I keep my rig together long enough.
He got his first pocket knife on this trip, drove a sweet 60 for his first driving on the "Con experience, go to drive our 80, tasted wine for the first time, and hung out with the old dudes learning how to tell lies and eat well. Family experience and dad son bonding at it's best.
well, except @Fireman , that guy....who nutha thread....amirite?

Thanks for letting Amy and I tag along this year! It was great to see old friends and meet new ones.

And Tyler Francis, the guy we helped out on Saturday, did make it back to SoCal. He did not have a C-clip for the end of the Pside axle shaft at the drive flange but apparently not having it did not affect anything.

Got this message from Dan Coll with the broken knuckle studs:
"I made it to graduation with zero time to spare and another broken stud on the same side when we made it to staging area..
Decided not to risk it with driving back in, never broken any before. I need to figure out what's causing the issue."

We are back in CT! We had a great time.
My wife and son's girlfriend flew out and we met them in Lake Tahoe. We went to the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Thunder Basin, Black Hills, Custer State Park and the Badlands on the return trip.
The last 3 days of traveling were long.
Thanks to all that helped with the Wagon Run and the 30th Rubicon.
