Pretty off-topic, but I don't think I'd do the bracket lift again. I did a few years ago before I ever saw myself doing any rock crawling. I don't really regret it, but I don't think I'd do it again. I'm working on another 4runner and selling this one eventually.
I'm sure we'll see each other Saturday - Rausch Creek has been 90% Jeeps the times I've been there, so you notice when a Yota goes by.

That was the last trail we hit at the end of the day. It was on the south property, and was supposed to be a green. Everyone agreed that it should have been marked a blue. If I were to take a guess, I think it was 21.

well i cant wait, and this will be my maiden voyage as well, atleast in this runner. bob, exit 27 is mt caramel road. if i were to get off there and head west it would take me to mount caramel. so if that works for you itll work for me.

If you get off at exit 27 turn right (east) and there is a gas station right there

I think we were all exhausted last night. We had a blast. good to meet you too. Wyorunner has lots of pics from yesterday and im sure he will post some up soon. we got a good feel for what the park is like and now we know what to expect for future runs. everybody made it out with out any damage at all. cant say the same for some of the jeepers out there. i saw quite a few of them getting pulled out at the end of the day. We will have to make it up there again soon.

I didn't wash mine yet, but I don't think I got any body damage.
1 of the guys that was with us just bought a newer Rubicon & this was his 1st trip out with it (he had a slightly older Wrangler before). Anyway, coming up out of Lake Christy he bottomed out hard on his trans pan & popped a hole in it - that was probably right after you guys saw us. So we spent the rest of the day pulling his pan, taking it to be welded, reinstalling it, and then we had a hell of a time getting him back outta there. All in good fun though.
Glad to hear you guys enjoyed it. I've got mostly video this time rather than pics (wife was runnin the cam). I'll post them then once I get them up on Youtube.
