Damn! The weekend I fly back to Uganda. Grew up on the Windrock trails, have a few family members that live on the opposite side of the mountain. Great place for anything with wheels and a motor. Plan an easy ride up to the windmills for the stock trucks and take lunch.

I'm going to hopefully be there Friday afternoon. School and work have me swamped. I'll definitely be there Saturday, what time does everyone usually get up in the mornings? I'd like to get up there a little before everyone starts wheeling.

I haven't had time to get my truck 100%, I may take all evening tomorrow to do that. I've got to hunt down a harmonizer to stop this QT diff guard to stop bouncing up and down

What a great event. I wish I could have stayed longer but I've been incredibly busy with school. I was the white D1 guy on the moderate ride (Remember my rock bouncing?) Anyways, we had some great trail leaders and y'all's knowledge of the area was paramount. We even got a winch demonstration without going to the demo!

Mark's FJ. We all know FJs can't keep up with Rovers ;)




Our group. We definitely had some real nice rigs to ride with! Looking forward to next year no doubt. I think Windrock was a fine choice




And the grand finale of the day

I've gotta say you really killed it on that hill climb. Sorry I was so slow leading everyone back to camp, had a rear trailing arm bushing fail and was struggling to keep it on the road. Unfortunately had to have it trailered back home with the help of the Xterra guys. I had a great time, aside from the FJ rollover and that D1 taking forever to get up that hill. Think I'm going back Oct. 12-13 if you're interested.

No worries man, I was smoking my brakes the whole way down those switchbacks.

Who you riding with? Go ahead and count me in most likely, that's UT's bye week so perfect. I'm hoping to recover the carnage this weekend then I should be 100%. Your girlfriend was a cool gal too. Can't wait to wheel with you again, that diesel was awesome haha

Recovery of the FJ. Still have no idea how this guy managed to drive straight into that ditch
