Mishap #1 puncture. Result of me running through a little corner of a mud hole. Had to hop into the FJ and run back to the Outpost to get a plug kit.

Mishap #2. Ripped off belly pan, things are not looking good for our Subie and CRV friends.

Deep mud hole bypass, if I had better tires and diff breathers I probably would have gone through, until then I'm going around with an available bypass.

Mishap#3 happened here, got a little stuck, but was able to reverse just a bit and climb out of the ruts. BudBuilt skid plate again paid for itself.

Photo injustice, much more difficult than it looks.

You know it was!!!:ebiggrin:

Now that I'm back from my crazy, action packed, fun filled weekend I'll get some text added in there sometime so y'all know what went on.

My trip to KY was also amazing, but I'll probably post that up as an off topic trip report here soon.:bcool:
