      well since we were low on beer he only got away with a couple. Myself and two other friends made it into there camp one night to hang out with all the Jamboree guys,jeep dealers, Jeep CEO's and Mark Smiths nephew had several....several adult beverages. It was almost like we were suppose to be there! We actually got to see the Jeep Liberty Diesel cruz into camp at like 11pm. the drivers side was nice and clean but the passenger side was all smashed up!
      good times!

        a couple extra random pics:


        just another good flex shot:



        DAMAGE REPORT:

        WHITE TJ(me): smashed front fender, driverside doorwell, rear quarter panel, bent TRE, loose control arm, slip yoke on driveshaft damaged, oil pan skid almost tore off and scrapes....

        BLUE TJ (Pual): scrathes....oh and master cylinder crapped out.

        ORANGE C7 (Carlos): after letting son drive, broken U-joint on Ford 9 inch. after pulling the shaft he ran cadillac hill in 3 wheeldrive

        BROWN CJ7 (Mike): hmmm he broke....no....snapped a....no....he drove like a little school girl so no breakage for Mike.

        GREEN BRONCO (Ron): no major problems at all on the trail except the darn thing will never start and run well, even with a fuel injected 5.0, on the way home had a wheel spacer sheer off.

        Too bad for Carlos's break b/c he has one of the strongest set-ups in our group. luckily he has a winch which allowed him to climb Cadillac with out any more problems.
        here is a small video clip how how 3 wheel drive sucks so bad even with a V8, coil overs, ford 9inches and a 5:1 Atlas:
