Good Call. You can see in that video the camo supercab being pulled out. He broke an input shaft on the transfer case. Cummins swapped diesel in there.

I was waiting for Mike to say something about rolling the Jeep backwards. I was wondering if you always have to take a test run or did you just have to find the second nut (if provided) in your jeep to get it up all the way. The hill of course.......

Do wish I could be there though, not to make fun but to enjoy.

Totally depends on the sand conditions. That being the very first run and watching may people hit that ridge and fly about 3' up I was being a bit cautious. I let off a bit too much when I got there, and the force of evrything coming down it dug in when it hit the sand again. My buddy Jeff has a lightly modified 07 Dodge diesel on 33" that could not get over the ridge to the top.

Surpeising to see the amount of people that couldn't get to the tops of some of the hills. I even saw a long travel buggy with a twin turbo LS7 get burried at the top of the last hill before the exit, and the 2500 with paddles bary itself trying to get it out. Yet I was going most everywhere in 2wd.

It's a Jeep thing Al. The most important part is the nut behind the wheel. The videos would be much more entertaining with some narration, don't you think? I mean just hearing the bbbvvvvvvvzzzzzz of that six cylinder is kind of boring.

On some of the hills that were facing east there was some. Only up by the tops. All in all it wasn't that bad. Most of the North facing hills were verticle.

Somethings I need if you want to sponsor me Mike, Editing software so I can add music, an exhaust system on my Jeep, neoprene seat covers so for when I make the dog sick

I did pick up a magnet mount for the go pro, so I should be able to get some better video next time with out the windshield in the way.

Sony vega has a pretty cool software I'm looking at. I guess it makes it really easy to edit and move clips around and add them into other vids, along with adding music and such. I shortened the videos I posted with movie maker, but it wouldn't let me add any music without having to buy it.

I can put it on the fender, or the frame, on the bumpers facing forward or backward. I'm gonna pay around with different angles next time up.

I would stick it to the roll bar facing the front seat and offer Suki a ride.
