    Dutch takes the first run at the drift. Right up to the axles..
    With help from Jon's winch he was ready to try the chains.
    Not much better..

    Well, it kind of looks like fun. Too bad I blew a wheel cylinder during the cold snap.

    Yeah, it was a good time. It's always nice to get out into the woods and away from civilization for a bit. I'm pretty bad about taking pics so these are all I've got.

    No we didn't. We weren't too far from it where the JK got buried. It wasn't a matter of traction, it was a matter of the snow being too deep and dense. My tires were just spinning in the air with the entire jeep sitting on its belly. I hit it the first time and got stuck, after Jon pulled me out I chained up and hit it again. I made it about a foot farther and then had the same result.

    We started going up Iron Clads but Jon's open diffs and all terrains weren't having it so we turned around and called it a day.

    The admin (Jim) has requested help with this, in the form of a PM. Like many (most??? all???) of us, he has a day job, and a life.

    EDIT: http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/...p?19539-Badges
    Jim previously posted:
    "[This content was originally created by Aaron. Chris and Jim have edited it for current standing.]

    . You must RSVP* for a FR4x4 Run, drive your rig on the run, and post in the Trail Run Report. This is the most important and will be used to thin the ranks as web wheeling doesn't count.

    The "Wheeler" badges have a year associated with them ("Wheeler 2013", etc.). As one of the rules of the forum, each member must drive their rig on at least one forum run each year to maintain membership. When you participate in a group trail run and need your "wheeler" badge updated, send a PM, to the administrator. It is highly recommended that you post in the run report (create one if you're the first to post) - contributing some pictures or commentary - and the admin will likely automagically update your wheeler badge.

    * This means for a run to count it must be on the calendar - which is the formal way for advertising the run to other members in the group - a fundamental of the group. While posting a last minute run on the calendar does count they are frowned upon as there really wasn't time for other members to be able to sign up for the run.
