Ha,ha..give me a little time and Ill send more..just back from 4 days out and zi have to get everything in order at the office.

I finally did make it through, but wasnt easy, mud was really slippery, it was deep and a wrangler before me had broken a bumper thats why the guide (guy in black shirt) was giving the instructions..some flat places were easier with momentum...in that place with speed i was concerned about jumping and then landing in the wrong spot.

There were some toyotas (sw4), some hilux, land cruiser, vw amarok, kia, land rover,etc, 11 vehicles total, great fun, great driving and lots of mud and almost non existing trails.

Ill post some more as soon as possible.

I agree...still waiting for the lower guard from Chief to be available, no damage underneath, radiator or anything..except at one place were the mud got even more slippery that I ended up against a fallen tree..and did some damage to the right doors..nothing huge..but still will need to be repaired.

Hi there,
Good memory you have, my crew was the same, and some other vehicles were the same, some others were different.
They are basically guided excursions, all accomodations, food, trips, routes are arranged so you only have to show up and have some fun.
End of July I'm going to a new one in the snow, its winter down here now, the trip will take us to the Andes mountains which is the same chain of mountains as the Rockies in The US..only that in South America, when i get back i'll share the pics.
To my Jeep I have new defenses in the front so it doesnt end so exposed, i was going to get the Lower Guard from Chieproducts but a local here said he could do it for me...so we'll see how it works, same thing for the back to protect the rubber lower fascia that suffers a lot when in water, sand or mud,..so we'll see.
Anyways, have a great day, regards

Hi and thanks,
You can see some others if you like, just search in this forum using the words "fun in sand" and under my user there are some more.
In 2 weeks I'm leaving for a new trip in the snow, keep in mind down here its winter, so we are going to the Cordillera de los Andes in Argentina and we'll see how well the GC behaves in the snow, never been in the snow with it before.
So check again sometime beginning of August and hopefully I'll have some new videos and pics.
Rgds.

It is great to see mostly stock JGCs out on the trail. I hope you didn't get too much mud inside your windows. Me, I am banned from wheeling for a while by the boss (wife, SWMBO) after doing a little damage on the sand dunes. I am looking forward to your snow videos, Victor!
