i was thinking the same thing... im always up for a buck, but this is ridiculous.

Sorry if I offended. I was trying to make a joke. That's why the wink was after it.

I too have a factory rear bumper collecting dust in my garage. It comes with the Hi-Lift brackets on it, and best of all it is free. Glad you're ok.

We recovered my Jeep yesterday. It was a long day. To get to the site, we had to go 30 miles on pavement, then 42 miles on dirt. It took just under 5 hours each way. We spent a little over an hour getting my Jeep back on the trail. Only minor damage; a bent rear bumper, a slight bulge on my left rocker panel where the rock sliders pushed up against the rocker panel, and minor scratches on the skid plate. I drove it off the trail and I'm planning to drive it home today. This campground has a slow internet connection, so I won't be able to upload pictures until I get home.

WOW Russ, It's amazing how you or your "angel" kept your jeep from going any further.I know the area and the pics really don't do it justice(it's a long,long way down) Glad to hear your alright. Hope all you have to replace is the bumper,tire,and maybe that hole in your seat.

Russ, I'm glad to hear your OK. Don't do that again, you have to many trips yet to take and I look forward to your threads as they are always so detailed. You now have the greatest camp fire story ever. Drive safe coming home.

White Rim Trail

Here's a slideshow with some of the sights from the White Rim Trail. I don't have pictures of the actual recovery where my Jeep was winched back to the trail; I was helping with the recovery and didn't have time to take pictures. Chris at Nations Towing in Moab did a great job with the recovery and there was no further damage to my Jeep. I drove it off the trail and drove it over 400 miles at freeway speed yesterday from Moab, UT to Primm, NV. The only apparent damage is to the rear bumper and a slightly tweaked left rocker panel.

Happy that you're alright and that the Jeep is too. Stay safe Russ...

That song is quite appropriate for your video. LOL

Holy crap, I'm so busy I haven't been to the site in a couple days. I'm so glad to hear you're OK Russ! VERY glad to hear it wasn't any worse than it was!

If you need anything, let us know too!
