A few of us met up to do some wheeling to get the year started right.

Players
Myself
Regulator
Wink
Hotness
Guy from Expo
My Buddy with his LS powered Jeep

Day started late, then first trail in I snapped a tie rod in a nasty hole I had not been through in a year. Tight between a couple trees and the roots always were rough, but from the normal 18 inch depth it was closer to 3 feet. Sucked, but everyone pitched in and we got it fixed on the trail. Thanks Guys! We did get to wheel some after the fix, but it was cold slick and some of us were just worn out. Still got a few pics to share. I think some of the others may have more.

Thanks for sharing the pics Kyle!

Glad you were prepared with a spare tie rod.

In the first picture, who's vehicle is on the left? Is that a TB?

Ahh, cool looking truck. It's interesting to see the lifted Isuzu next to the TB. Slightly smaller, less ground clearance. But I bet most people would expect the Isuzu to be better off road.
