For all the guys that made it, thanks for the invite.  I haven't seen that many Jeeps in one area since I did camp Jeep back in 99.  Justin thanks for the tips on the 8.8 swap, it is definitly in the works for my YJ.  I felt like an outcast with the wife's Liberty, only saw 3 others there.  The kids liked everything but the heat.  If I am still in the area next year ( up for orders) I'll would like to go again.

You poor fella.  Those of you who couldn't make it this year, I highly recommend trying to make it next year.  It was awesome!!!  That was my first one, and it was a blast!  I'll post pics and stuff soon.

Wow, big difference with the 37's on there. A couple years ago when I took it, it got 1076 forward and 934 reverse.

The Pro Comp MX-6 shocks are shorter than the originals that you had on when you went.  They keep the coils from popping out.  I don't mind the small sacrifice in flexibility to keep all the springs where they need to be.

you put up 1076 and 934 on the 30 degree? That's impressive
