Guammy (Don), TrailTJ (Tim), and ourselves ran Holy Cross on July 8th with pouring rain all day. We still had a great time. Everybody did well and we had no problems. Nice job Don on the right line in French Creek and Tim for making it through every obsticle, even French Creek, on 32's and open in the front. Once again we did not get any pictures of us at French Creek. If you guys got any of us at the creek can we get a copy?

Wow the area in the first image has changed quite a bit in the last 3 years!
His - 1980 Jeep CJ-7 Stretched, 37 Iroks, D60/detroit rear, HD D44/detroit front, Vortec ZZ4 TBI/700r-4/D300 w 4:1, Ramsey Patriot 9500, 2" Rancho SOA, daily driven....no wuss trailer queen!
Great photos. We came up behind you- I was in the red TJ you squeezed past on your way down, near the city- we were headed up. Holy Cross is such a great trail. We left Denver at 6AM, ran the trail with no problems, and were home by 5PM. Fun wheeling in the pouring rain. It made a few of the obstacles pretty challenging.
Here are some French Creek pics for you Tom, I accidentally hit the wrong button on my new camera so the pics are small, looks like we have to go back again soon

Campsite flex
Awesome Pics. Give me a PM if ya'll go next weekend, I finally got reliable internet so I'll be able to check daily now. I'm itching to wheel
killer pics!!!

It was great talking with you guys. I made it home ok. I bent it back before we left. Thanks for taking the pictures. We didn't take that many.
Thanks TubeWerx, don't forget Tim did a great job driving on a basically stock TJ and took no straps, that and good spotting from Tom.
Glad you made it home OK after that tie rod bend.
Oh forgot the rest of the pics are here

Nice pix! Glad I got that tie rod from you when I did Don; sounds like you might have had a buyer seeing that bent tie rod in the pix.
What a pain it was adjusting the length to set my toe-in. It tooks lots of penetrating oil and heat to get the ends to turn, and then I could only get one free. I can take the simplest job and stretch it into hours of work.
And Tom, I left the axles home last weekend because we were going on an easy trail. Who would have thought that one of the Rubicons with us would snap a u-joint and booger up the yoke on Jenny Creek? They go everywhere with me now.
Anyway, thanks for the parts and hope to see you on the trail sometime soon.
Do I owe you a Guinness or two for your troubles? I slopped anit seize all over it and even recently had an alignment so didn't think it woulld be stuck.Originally Posted by tjmaxx

Now that's service after the sale! Thanks, but it's my turn to buy the Guinness though.Do I owe you a Guinness or two for your troubles? I slopped anit seize all over it and even recently had an alignment so didn't think it woulld be stuck.
If you had a shop do the alignment, perhaps they thought those big ol' nuts had to be torqued to about 200 ft-lbs? I should have used anti-seize after I got it free.
I saw you guys headed down when we were near the top eating lunch. Dave waved at you but I don't think you saw us. The trail was a lot more interesting than the last time we were up there! It was a wet, slick, sloppy mess so there were no boring spots. We ended up with 2 of our group having to pull out the winches on French Creek (it was Dave's turn to drive

Great pics....I am really excited to go in a few weeks!!

Where'd you see that oh so pretty Rubi in your sig?
"Lilo" '85 4Runner. OME suspension, Lock-Right, 4:1 AA gears, 31's.
This was on a lot in Vegas.
Someone photochopped the sticker on the hood.
Isn't it purdddy
What line was taken at the rock before Cleveland Rock (the off camber one)? Left or right?
I went to the left the best I could in the rain. I tried to stay up on the rock on the left but the rain was coming down pretty hard so I basically slid off and had to drag the rear diff over the rock in the middle.
