2 years later with a fixed Jeep and driver, we did it! So Mindy couldn't make it due to work so I took Ben of the famous Brice & Ben's Redneck Garage and went mobile with it. We actually did most all of the trail solo in trying to catch up with a group I was scheduled to go with, which in and of itself is a testament to what learning to drive and some critical modifications will do for the experience.The only damage this time was: a mildly bent front passenger spring, rear springs sagged a bit more and pinion angle is off again, a couple dings, tie rod joints are WASTED, and the exhaust fell off a slew of times (long story) and that is about it.Ben was perfect as a spotter and he even drove some. We didn't need to do one repair other than a roadside fix of the exhaust. |

 The Gatekeeper No I am not trying to say I'm number 1, I made it through this time with no assistance and on the first try. |

 Walker Hill This is a very important place on the trail as it is where I broke an axle last time and got a helicopter ride. Basically this was the beginning of the end of the trip being any fun the last time. I mildly flopped (the picture is just after I drove out of it) but no real damage as a result. |

 Just after the Little Sluice The true Little Sluice is the only obstacle we didn't go through (other than Old Sluice). I honestly don't know how on earth one could go through it without completely destroying the vehicle. |
