Few pictures of our run at Dresser on Midwest Weekend http://www.oldjeep.com/images/DresserAug2010/index.html<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/5nAVvsy9OFs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/5nAVvsy9OFs</a>]]>Video of one of the fun spots. I did almost the same thing a couple minutes before, but no video of that. In my case I backed up a foot or so with the rear wheel in the air so that I could turn further right  Wound up crushing the pan on my AW4, so I need to get that changed before Sunday. IT was still drivable but is having problems with higher speeds and fluid starvation. |

Cool pics and a nice trail, should be real fun when wet or snowy.
I like the video, Little bit tippy eh, been there done that looks cool, feels not so cool, be ready to hit the gas when it feels like it's going over

Lots of good pictures. Good mix of fun and hard obstacles there.

Yes, great video. Made me cringe. Some weight in the back may help for future decends... tools, spare tire, hi-lift |

Some weight in the back may help for future decends... tools, spare tire, hi-lift There's a ton of weight in the back of my jeep - spare, hi-lift and 2 kids Doesn't help if your suspension is maxed out, just have to hope you remember where the equilibrium point is. Newish pan is back on the AW4 and I've got a 42x42" sheet of steel in the garage to build a bellypan with. No idea if I'll get the skid done by sunday but I'm going regardless. Sundays spot is where this picture was taken last year.  |

this was my closest call. jeep was stock on 31's and I had very little flex at that point vs now. it almost went over I had a few people rush the jeep to hold it at the balance point  |
