So, does this count for the wall of shame, if it happened on Fins n Things?

No?

Ok. I'll keep trying. But not too hard. I promised @Chris. Missed you tonight, man. Your forum is the only reason I'm here and the only reason why my TJ is able to be here. Hopefully it gets us home. If not, well there's only one person to blame...

Now, if I could only figure out the stupid 4wd shifter. It's embarrassing getting the owners manual out while the line of sidexsides waits behind you.
are we doing a wall of shame? I posted this in another thread but it seems appropriate. This happened to me on Baby Lions Back.

Repeat: BABY Lions Back. It’s like a 3 minute trail with a moderate drop at the end. Watched a video of it a few days ago, easy as shit. We missed the meet ups this morning because we got out late, so we decided to just hit Sand Flats, get a week pass, have a picnic. Wasn’t gonna do any trails since we were solo but my daughter wanted to do at least one & she saw the sign a and thought it was cute. I said fuck it sure, it’s a quick one. Even got out to pick my line!

Picked the perfect one, slid right into a hole that dropped the driver side onto a rock.

“Baby” Lions Back.

We did that as the ice breaker yesterday. No issues.

On the plus side, it's still attached! ;)
 
Okay so I've been following all the pictures and comments and yes I have a serious case of envy right now.

Is any group gunna run Pritchett Canyon? Or go out to BFE and hit any trails out there?

Stay safe and have fun.
 
Is anyone interested in buying my Rubicon fender flares? I'd let them go for pretty cheap. I just realized this is probably my best chance find a buyer, and I'm lined up to get MCE's when I get home. They could use some paint and the rear driver's is slightly out of shape, could use some heat and bending. PM me if you want em!

Colorado had Pritchett in their schedule for yesterday and America is going tomorrow.

If @DaveF is still down there and doesn't mind taking them back with him I'd be happy to buy them off of you.

Feel free to shoot me a PM

As TJ Fest is coming to a close, I'd like to take a minute to thank @Chris for all the effort he put into making this happen. Even though you could not come, which was frustrating, I think everyone can say that we really appreciate you putting on TJ fest for this big ol' community of Jeep nerds.

Big thanks to the people who handed out thoughtful souvenirs!

And shoutout to the team leaders, @jjvw , @Dino - KX6D , and @Apparition that stepped up, put together trail schedules, and led trail runs!

Finally, I would like to thank @mrblaine for helping keep these lips nice and moisturized in this hot, dry weather!

I'd like to see this happen again next year. If so, count me in!

My lips are f’d up. I need to stop giving the lip balm to my kid.

Thank @tworley and @rasband as well. Anything we put together was very much a team effort.

Hopefully next time we can stay a few more days to play.
 
Looks like everyone is or had a great time in Moab for TJ Fest! I wish I could have made it down...but two Moab trips in one month is hard to swing for me.

I am in the market for new tires. After seeing pictures and videos, it looks like there was a huge variety of different tires that people were running in Moab.

Were there any tires that worked better for the slick rock than others? I’ve been eyeing the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT’s.
