What happened?

I'm guessing he came in a little hot!

I didn't witness it first-hand, but as noted by Barry's picture of the Eagle Canyon section, we were navigating a narrow canyon with big rocks and boulders. Chris took a line that pushed him into a rock just above his slider, and it scraped up his passenger side doors down near the rocker panel.

First wheeling dents ever....

I got nervous about the climb out and followed Barry's 40 line vs the wagon line. Just after I was thinking "what a dope, why was I following the 40 line..."

Still that was an epic day and I would run that set of trails over and over, like a favorite ski run.. Matt, thanks for being a great trail scout that day and showing us the best trails.

I think the highlight was the double ledge that Barry popped a front end wheelie on and my 100 climbed right up, open without front diff locker still.

Prolly not too many matches left in that match box...

Don't bent control arms and broken tail lights on the FJ count as dents?

Here's a few from Devil's Racetrack. There's one fairly technical section has some ledges and drops that are a lot of fun. But otherwise it's got some great scenery and views of the canyons and vistas around the northern Swell.
