I'm still suprised that the EOE got bent but I guess nothing is bullet-proof under the right circumstances. I made a point to check my stock tierod adjusters after I saw the bent one but mine were ok. I must have taken a different line over the obstacle, plus I have smaller tires and less lift.

Apwired,
Big Satruday was fun being with the EJS, it felt like I was in a Parade going down Main Street with everybody lined up waving on the sidewalks.

I heard a few people say things like, "What's that?!"
"That's one of those new Xterra's."
"Are they good offroad?"
"I guess."


Top of the World was fun, and on the way back we went down Cowskin Canyon and did two river fords across the Dolores River where the water was deep enough I could splash my hand in the water out the door.

But overall I had more fun on the GONEMoab runs. It's alot more fun when you're on a trail with friends rather than a bunch of strangers driving Jeeps.
