4x4 Trip Feb 11 2012

Today was my first trip out in my Jeep in 2 years. I broke the rear end in Dec of 2009 and broke my ankle in 2010. After surgeries on the ankle and the Jeep I am back up and running again. The TJ is sporting a narrowed dana 60 in the rear and a fuel cell behind the rear bench seat. I didn't know how well my welding jobs were and was curious to see what would happen. Everything held up fine!

OBH member Mark "Wineguy" met me @ Rogers camp in Tillamook State Forest this morning. We hooked up with another random guy and his wife and rolled out.
Mark = TJ - Silver
Me - Jarrod 99 TJ - Red
Fred and wife Angie - blue and purple flamed Suzuki X90 lifted and locked

We hit Firebreak Five, Saddle up, Hogs Back, and Archers. Everything went fairly easy until I attempted Can Opener, but no dice. It was way to slippery. We then hit waterfall and met up with Kenney from the Just Wheelin group. http://4wheelin.ning.com/
Mark tried the right side of Waterfall several times and decided to bag it. I made it up waterfall after finding the sweet spot! I ran it again just to be sure. :)
We BS'd for a bit and decided to head home. All in all it was a fun and successful trip.
