As requested, here are a few pictures. Hope nobody minds. They are just cell phone pictures.
They were filming a commercial for a new show on the SPEED channel. They raced them up the switchbacks quite a few times. Man, did they sound mean. The people filming/running the show were real cool and let me hang out for a while and take some pictures and chat with them about the cars and the new show. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the show though! Pretty sure I have a picture of the show sign with the name on my wife's camera.

We rented the jeep from a place called "Colorado West Jeeps". I definitely like the people working there, but the jeep was greatly lacking. If they had just upgraded the tires, it would have been perfect. As it was, it still had the oem mini tires. Really killed the ground clearance. I think that if I do it again I will look elsewhere. Other companies in the same area(Ouray, CO) offered Rubicons, or at the very least had more offroad ready, oversized tires.
