    The "meeting" happened as follows...

    we were the last 5 rigs of the 21 rigs -- one of the guys got 2/3 up ICEY hill and started sliding backwards...Mr6 was in front of me...by about 30 feet...I got stuck in an icey "ditch" leaning to my side --- i could neither go backwards nor forwards....two rigs behind me were too close to me to even back up if i could.....Unfortunately---with me being stuck and the guy uphill from MR6....the hill was 95% ice --- not at anyones fault -- Mr6 hit all ice...slid back about 30 feet into my stinger......scarred the crap out of my kids and I....my stinger hit Mr6 door latch and bent it in

    eventhough the meeting was nobodys fault -- i said to Mr6 over and over again How bad I felt for the damage because this was his first wheelin trip

    ..without chains that section was so slippery / icey -- "meeting" was about to happen.

    Just wanted to post up and say it was nice meeting new peeps and i had a blast with everyone. DrUnit it was good to see you again. If you need any help with anything give me a hollers. Or just want to get out. Pathrat you cant have my wheels. sorry no way. And i don't want to nick them up either. Been working real hard on that one. As far as the comment goes for the extra money for the Trail Team when i sat down and figured out what it would of cost me to put the tires on it i wanted with wheels and a few add ons it was going to cost more that a non TT FJC so i made out. It helped to have a coworker's brother help me find it and work out a deal also. I won't take it on the nasty stuff but will get it out. I have a toy in the works for the fun stuff. Had a great time in the snow with everyone and glad everyone got home safe. Oh and i think it was Haku in the xtra cab that was playing in the big hole i was trying to help spot. Your wheel base was just to perfect. Both front and back tires were hitting the wall of rock at the same time. Only way is to hammer it and pray. Just like Double Wammy in Moab. Well it was a blast and i look forward to next time. see everyone on the trails.

    New seats? You're not supposed to be comfortable in a 40. You're supposed to wait for the vinyl to split, then rip out the foam and sit on the coils. What are you thinking?
