Myself and a couple others stacked some rocks to help out the silver 5th gen out. Picture above (thread#236) shows the 5th gen with a good size rock in front.

Ya that rock and my front diff became close friends
Yes, I had my minions build me a nice bridge that did no good. I kept sliding off that damn large rock. After about 5 tries, and a lot of advice, I finally got the correct line and got over it.
My aluminum skids took a real beating. Need to do some serious rework to get them flat again. The exhaust rattling against the tranny skid made for a nice 4 hour drive home.
Thanks to everyone who helped me out. I would still be spinning tires out there trying to get off that rock.
Tigger needs bigger springs in his tail. 2" isn't cutting it.
My minions building a bridge. (I left about $10 of aluminum on that rock)
So much for being off the trail by noon.... Yay night runs
Very noisy when your exhaust is sitting on the skid
If there were weak spots in the RCI aluminum skids, I found them. Need to have some structural work done on these to make them a little stronger. Or get steel ones, or stop rock crawling in a pig...

Thanks to everyone for a great run, and of course much thanks to Tim, who planned the route and led the group. The next time we decide to do a run based out of GVL, we can call ahead to the guys that own the general store and they can work out a group deal at one of the restaurants. Dan at the general store mentioned getting a large air compressor to help attract the 4wd groups as well.
My apologies getting us off to a late start with my "shortcut" down Edison Rd. Thanks for waiting while I got caught back up to the group. The whole family had a great time, and we ended up having dinner with other family at Lake Arrowhead that night. When I got home Sunday, I went to work repairing the dented bumper and popped out panels. It looks good, almost good as before. [MENTION=62034]Keemonrunnin[/MENTION] you were right man, it popped right back out...with the appropriate amount of force applied of course. I had to glue the piece of wheel well trim to get it to stay, as all of the clips broke off.

Glad everything went back together with not to much hassles. Those clips are probably a buck or so each. Thanks again for the organization of the run.
