Bet your ass my front locker was on ! Lol.
I got good practice of turning it off and on
I used it on Cadillac Hill where someone left a big giant mud hole, my right rear dropped into it and my left front was in the air spinning but the right was planted and I hit the switch.
Here's a video I made, it has some other pictures and videos that I didn't post earlier. Make sure to watch it on full screen.
That’s a great video! Your family was awesome, always smiling and happy 
Not without mention, @Alex01 your 11 year old stepdaughter was a trooper too, hope she enjoyed it!
She liked everything but the cold weather at night. We'll see if she goes again next year or her mom takes her seat. She definitely has a new respect for what the jeep is capable of. We drove it yesterday and her friend asked if it could get over a small log. Her response was "oh ya, it could go over something much bigger than that."
Well September is one of those months where it's usually mid eighties in daytime and low sixties at night, we just got luckyShe liked everything but the cold weather at night.

I like it for the lack of crowds, but an afternoon swim to knock the dust of sure is nice too.
Edit: to add to what she said, she'll now know the difference between an off-road rig and a compensator mall crawler.
Other then the orange jku we saw on the bridge I don't recall seeing a single rig on the trail. I'll take low temps but an empty trail any day. I was expecting to see traffic jams on the major obstacles.Well September is one of those months where it's usually mid eighties in daytime and low sixties at night, we just got lucky

Day 7, and my Wally World Lifetime cooler still has ice. Do you think the cold temps had something to do with that, lol?
just checked, mine does too. I’m going with the weather. Mines similar to yours, just says RTIC on it.
Some shenanigans will be taking place today. It involves a jeep, 2 tow straps, a snatch block, a winch, and hopefully not a call to 911.
Got my account made and will be posting some of my pictures here in a minute. Having the opportunity the come out from the east coast to do the Rubicon with a friend was awesome. However the group as a whole made this one of the best adventures I've been on. I appreciate everyone's hospitality and conversations. I hopefully will be back, maybe even with one of my Jeeps. Again, thank you all for helping make the trip an awesome experience.
