Henry, Jeremy, and myself ran with a couple of JKs from SoCal. The trail was pretty tough and a lot of fun. Henry had to cut his day short and limp off the trail due to some broken control arm bracket welds and a transfer case issue. He had to be towed down the mountain. I started getting a shimmy in the rear at speeds above 70MPH, and when I got home, I noticed that I bent a lower control arm mount. I also popped most of the fasteners holding my front fenders off and they were just flopping around, and crushed a rear shock. The HEMI powered JK had to pull over for help in Gorman when he developed a shimmy in the front, he bent his drag link. Jeremy had some pretty bad grinding noises, but they seemed to have gone away. The white JK (Brad) hit his quarter panel and broke his license plate/mount, and scratched up his new tube fenders pretty good. So everyone left the trail with a trophy!

EDIT: Brad also bent his tie rod

You would have had a blast Harry.

When Henry turned to us and said "you guys dont want to follow my lines today", and then almost did an endo down a drop-off, those guys didnt know what to think :lol:

Yeah... Chris told me Henry liked to roll his Jeep, then Henry told me that I didn't have to try his lines... I was WTF!?! Two minutes later I was in total agreement with the prior advice.
