Cool camping video MrBash, Looks like I missed a fun trip! Did anyone try the Gatekeeper. After blessing the water fall did you sprinkle some Patron on the rocks? Also I heard Josh is a movie star on YouTube!!

Thanks! There was no more Patron to sprinkle. We finished it 3 hours before that scene.
Come on Josh . . . now you're just playing with our emotions. Dat ain't right I know you're just waiting for someone to ask you to post up some pics . . . so go ahead!
I am picking up the f-toy from paint today or tomorrow. will post pics when I get it.
Very well then, just as tomb raider stated, all our activities were safe and the jack was secure, plus rocks supporting the jeep in spots you cant see!
There were also 20ish? guys there. Plenty of muscle to lift a jeep off someone. Hopefully, everybody was packing a first aid kit as well. I'm a stickler for jack stands when I'm at home and everything looked about as safe as you can get it for a trail repair.
I thought the whole thing was neat. I've never actually seen an axle shaft change on a trail... just in the shop.
