Now that I'm on a computer, and can actually add the carnage pics in a logical way...
Coming up THIS climb: (Cannot remember which trail, but it was the FIRST trail Saturday morning)
Someone bumped the ledge a little too hard, and ended up rotating his rear axle housing :shock: :doh:
After several attempts with 2 winches, and hydraulic jack, we were forced to pull the rear drive shaft, and he had to finish up the trail with only a front end to work with.
Once back to camp, a handful of our group worked on his jeep, and after some fineness he was able to get the pumpkin to turn, and just to add to the luck, someone in the group just so happened to have a welder with them :thumb:
Back in business, and after some lunch, we headed back out on the trail. Luckily, this was the only break our group suffered for the rest of the weekend...

Indeed it is, and the truss was SUPER effective as expected... :crazyeyes:
EDIT: OH, And I made this climb. Only 3 jeeps in our group attempted it. 2 had to winch up the final step, but some how I was able to climb up, though it did take a bit of effort. I didn't get a video of this as both my fiance and I where in the jeep. but LUCKLY, someone else did :thumb:
Here is how Mel, and the rest of Middle America JKX guys did the same climb :thumb: How cool :thankyou:

I feel like a dummy, I completely spaced that it was this past weekend. Been hyper focused on getting a new home built and the past couple weeks were right in the the thick of setting up the purchase agreement and getting that earnest money in that I lost track of time
