I had a good day too. Just wish I didn't forget the batteries for my digital camera. I did get one pic though. Another YJ broke his front Dana 44. Wheel just came off while going around a flat corner. I'll get the pic up later.

i got a pic of a scrambler doin that big rock gettin his bumper hung up on the rock behing me. tried spinning his 35 boggers to get over it and blew out his 6 lug hub pieces flew everywhere. carnage was awesome and another guy really tore his steering up bent his draglink back then pulled it forward and finally it bent way forward and his stab was 45 degress out infront of his axle on a cj it was nice he also ripped his exhaust hanger in the back off on that big rock. fun day and my lower stab took a nice hit from a nasty rock today it got a flat spot now. o well guess i need to put my custom stab skid on high prioity now!. and lets put it this way if you want me to go over that rock u payin for the body dmg or whatever happens. i dont even think a sniper could tackle that.

Here's the pic of the destroyed Dana 44. Of course the wheel had to fall off in a puddle :rolleyes: Fortunately for him, were from the same town, but he got a ride back with the tow truck. I'd still like to know how they got his rig out of there :confused: I really can't see how they got a flatbed tow truck back in there.

They worked great Mike. I didn't have any problems at all except for this one hill we were screwing around on during lunch, but even guys with 35" mtr's and swampers, locked front and rear couldn't make it up. I made it just as far as they did. :D

well had a great day... no breakages for me... 2 broken motor mounts for some of my club members though, so that kinda sucked. They're both easy fixes, just a PITA! As for the run, after I got stuck (see pic below), and had to get pulled out, the group I was with did not respond/hear/understand when I asked them to wait, so we were alone (my friend and I). We went searching for them, and got stuck in a little river crossing area and kept getting high centered and losing traction (man I need lockers). After about an hour of trying to get out and trying to get someone over the CB, we remember about the phone number and called it. Someone finally got to us and got us out. Strange first impression for paragon, but I'm sure in a smaller group (less than 20 some jeeps :( ), it would be real nice. Definitely another time! Here are some pics:

Looks like you guys had a ball up there.
you might want to try posting on Paragons forum to find out how they got that YJ outta there. Several of Paragons trail guides routinely post on that forum. www.paragonap.com. (http://www.paragonap.com.) Click on the "contact us" drop down window, and on to the forum.
Maybe I'll see some of you up there in a couple of weeks? ;)
