anyone make it through the bog there? Seen it stop many a well built rigs.

That's me in the 80 there, and yes, I made it thru after a bit of forward and reverse action. I'm also locked front and rear, although my front wasn't playing nice and locking for me at that moment.
One of the FJ40s also made it thru going in that direction on the near side, which was deeper than the far side line I took.
I'm still getting mud out of the inside from leaving the moonroof open , which my wife was very happy about sitting in the passenger seat. There is a video somewhere and you can hear her scream about halfway thru.

I was disappointed at the lack of 80s out there. Kind of assumed there'd be more... I missed the red 80 series (Chris, I think?), but saw 2 others.

Lots of awesome rigs though... can't wait for the next meet.

I was flipping through fox's pics, and was saying to myself, "man, chad just ain't afraid of rollin' that thing....oh wait...he DID roll!!!" WOW.

Good stuff...

Now that was a fun time! It was great to see new and old faces. This years turn out was amazing, never thought that Yankee Toys would get so big so fast.
Was cool to wheel carnage again, this time with a locker.
Had a lot of fun watching the wife romp around the FJC Saturday
Mike Searl blew up his reverse gear went strait to his house Sunday and swapped out his transmission in time for him to got to work the next day.
Hope to do it all again soon minus the transmission swap

Good wheeling with you. I have some high rez pix of your truck if you want some.

they wouldn't let me out of the truck until everyone got atlest one pic apperently fox got like 8 JR it was a hard trail and i made it up until the last major obstiacle made it through stopped for a sec and slide sidewaysnext thing you know 3 wheels are off the ground my front drive shaft is beer canned and the only way forward is back. the truck was suspended on the diff's by hugo sized oulders. when Gary pulled me back the boulder on the front diff turned up to mimick easter island.
anyway Randy and jr. escorted me out Randy with his rear winch hooked up incase i got stuck(just needed a tug hear and there) and Jr. following incase I needed a tug back.
we made it back to camp in short order. called Kina who was heading down the next morning and got him to bring me a front drive shaft and i was good to go.
Big thanks to everyone that got me out and helped. it was a funprocess. I would do it all again in a heart beat

You were kept in your truck for your safety. If you had got out of the truck it would of fallen on you. It was teetering on that boulder real bad.

That would be great if it's easier you can email them to me nat399@hotmail.com

I was just downloading the movies off my camcorder and came across a few movies of you and your truck looks real bad ass too. I am working on a DVD of all the footage Jen and I took if you want one let me know I will send one your way!

same goes to everyone else who would like a copy just p.m. me

BTW did anyone run the gully or the Devil's Bunghole?

 

[mikeyg79]

Nelson, Chad, and I ran (winched) Devil's

 

[mikeyg79]

guess I can't say no one took my picture.

 

[Scott Hatch]

I hope the tree is still there in the middle....

 

[mikeyg79]

In Devils? It was when we were there. Very helpful winch point.

 

[Scott Hatch]

Excellent, that tree makes that section. Without it there it would be much easier (relatively speaking of course )

thanks Mikey
