I'm recovering from two very long days. Everyone had a terrific time thanks to Corbin (Zebra Sports) and Will (Sierra Expeditions), along with other volunteers, putting together a great event on extremely short notice (2 weeks). One of our honored guests opted to drive his own 4x4 truck and did an amazing job! We spotted him through some of the more difficult areas and he made it through the entire trail without having to be winched or strapped...quite impressive.
As for my Jeep, it didn't fair too well. It seems my bumper wasn't built to withstand the stress of a 2500 pound trailer being attached to it (via the hitch we welded through the middle of it). It tore like a piece of paper. Corbin helped me out when we got back to his place. We took the bumper off, found a great hitch at the local U-Haul, which was made specifically for my model of Jeep, put that on, and I'm back in business...albeit without a bumper. I've contacted Teraflex and they've responded asking for pictures. I sent those and will await their reply to see if they can do anything to help me out.
As for pictures, I've put them on my computer, but have not resized them yet. I'll get them up on here ASAP though. I didn't take a whole lot, but some others took some too and I'll try to get those on here as well.
In the end, there were no injuries, everyone in attendance had a great time, and we all got to know one another and now have a bunch of funny little inside jokes between each other now. A real success!
