That's cold Kevin... Easier run. The other guys except scott and me are not on this site. I'll let them know. I think it was a wake up run for some of us. Dude, I was bummed that I didn't get to run the whole way through to the water fall and on. My heart was broken pretty sad lol! There always next time.

well trust me, it would of gotten worse. not sure if you guys could of made it up dishpan w/o at least one locker. the ground on the step ups was pretty slippery. If you want, we can hit gold mt to john bull. thats always a good trail.youll get stuff like this:

Ahh, I love Dishpan. I have yet to run John Bull though.

A week ago my friend and I ran Dishpan from west to east. At the waterfall his 4" lifted TJ with a rear locker had trouble going up the line to the far right. He couldn't get the right line and kept trying at it until about 5 minutes later he got it. When I did it my LJ (same size lift and tires, no locker just limited slip rear) walked right up it with no issue. The longer wheel base definitely helped on that one. Dishpan is a really fun trail.

Nice pics kevin.

Thats john bull? I did'nt see on saturday if you had sliders. That looks like fun. I want sliders and a locker and that should help. I would not want to bang up the rockers and then put on sliders. Thanks for the pics. It lets me know on what to expect. The fog got heavy later that day and nice to have met you kevin and good call on rethinking that one. i think i would have scored some damage forsure. I know why you said take some before and after pics : )

the good thing about John bull is that you can choose what lines to take. most of the bull has bypass's from the harder stuff. that one pic is probably the hardest thing on the bull. you'll be fine.

That obstacle is the hardest part on JB. It is a pretty easy spot to get winched from if you don't make it though. I have always had better luck with the line to the right on that spot. I have seen much more capable rigs than mine get stuck on the left. If you get sideways you can hang your bumper on that rock that is behind the spare tire in the first picture. Then you can't back up so you had better be able to go forward.

that said rock ( i just discovered the other day) is what bent the snot out of my tire carrier latch.... still works but i'm a lil pissy about it.. lol... xj,, to the right of that picture is an easier bypass. i just like to run that line. and btw i ran that line solo that day.:yay:
