I would most definately be up for a night run one of these days. Preferably a Wednesday or Thursday (work permitting) night. But I love the difficulty that night adds to the trail. Makes me happy!

So, I am in the mood for mud. I even went to the empty field by my house for ten minutes just to screw around. You guys did Yankee Hill, did you do the trail as it is laid out on the map or were there off shoots? I am asking because I am wondering about the amount of snow. From your pictures, it looks like just water and mud. How is the trail in the shade?
TIA :)

I went up the main hill a couple weeks ago with an XJ group and we didnt have any problems. There were 3 XJ's with open diffs and most of the others just had a rear locker. It was steep and snowy, but we didnt winch or even pull out a strap once.

Thats probably where I lost mine. I didn't know it was gone until I was re-connecting my sway bar.
