    Jamie (K6NUB) said Did not have much time to take pictures, but this one should sum up Friday night, top of winch hill 4 with the last rigs coming through at about 9:30. Trek comittee brought us salad, chicken, and ribs to the hill for dinner, it was yummy! IMG_9473.jpg

    Who's the Hawaiian Viking next to the rig with the lei on?😕

    Ha!  That's the photo from Troy with the guy edited out.

    I figure you should give credit where credit is due 🙂

    Crazy stuff!

    Also this picture looks like your passenger upper control arm is still connected.

    Both of the front bolts on my rear upper control arms were gone. I suspect they sheared off on winch hill four because it was after that that I noticed issues with lateral movement with my stick shift. The control arm ends were jammed up above the brackets. I had to jack up the rear of the Jeep on the rear bumper today to reduce the pressure on the control arms to free them and put them back in the brackets before I could put new bolts in. It's fixed now and seems to be fine.

    I'm glad it was an easy fix!

    That was only halfway through the day on WH4, it got worse. Even better, when we came off leading the outer limits run I stepped out of the Jeep and Tyler took one look at me and said "grab new clothes and head to the shower now". There is a down side to tail gunning 😀

    Speaking of dirt, I just cleaned my air filter after Sierra Trek. I think I could have planted a vegetable garden in it given how much dirt came out of it.
