I don't know who lead the trail for you guys but not unlike you I've walked over Jason's Rock the two previous years in my 80 without drama. In fact any 80 on 315's with protection can do it especially with a good spotter.
We had a blast and enjoyed wheeling with the Rising Sun folks on Thursday running Dugan's Prospect.
It's a drag that we didn't get a chance to catch up but now that WR is big and badass we aren't running the same trails anymore. I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon.

Kevin, Lookin Good! Whats the Story on the Front Axle?
do they have harder stuff than those trails for the Planned runs?

Just Messin with you guys

Trev,
they run really hard stuff for the BHCC.
Ben mentioned flat nasty. They run Hal Johns which is the quintessential Rock crawling trail in the Black Hills.
We should talk about what I mentioned to you last week. I guarantee a good time.

I only got to run 1 day because of work and a breakdown on the way up, but ICEMAN was AWSOME!! what a fun trail. Reminded me alot of the upper part of spring creek. Black Hills wheeling seems to be summed up in one word..... ROCKS ! And as Kevin later corrected me.. Rocks that MOVE... (or RocksThatMove for the one word version)
I will go again! i had a GREAT time, even if it was short! Thanks to all who went and made it such a fun run

Trev,
Iceman is a fun moderate trail. There is actually 5 or 6 spots on it that are rated 5 but the majority of the trail is a 3.5-4. I ran with the buggies on Flat Nasty on Saturday. We had a blast! We finished the normal FN with 5 of the 8 rigs that went in. Us 5 then took on the optional upper section and 4 of us finished that. Nearly every obstical of the upper section was as big as stuff on Hal Johns! I took damage to my passenger side A piller, but it is very fixable. Big shtuff!
Ige's friend was a little wobbly taking our picture, but nothing like a family picture at Mt Rushmore
If the picture was clearer, we could start a "Ige strikes again thread"
Maybe pictures of Ige in front of all the National Monuments saluting
Oh well, she is part of the family so its great having here in our family picture

way cool picks kevin. i hardly reconize wr. what a tranformation. looks great.
Here are my pics. First, let's take a look at Kevin's old FJ40. This first shot was my attempt to create a Toyota Trails worthy shot. You'd see this, and you'd think: Man, that is the coolest FJ40 ever. This first shot is from Dugan's Run.
...but then you'd see these shots, and you understand why he finally sold it. These shots are both from Iceman.

Kevin was a star in the newly revamped Wild Rice. He had some opportunities to flex the new suspension on the Iceman trail. It was simply amazing to watch! Dan Reinmuth rode shotgun for Jason's Rock at the beginning of the trail. I think I would have driven this obstacle in my 80 had my wife not been along for the ride that day. 
Here's a couple of pictures of Romer.
Nice suspension droop! Very sexy.
Neil arrived late and left early, but still got to run Iceman. His 4Runner and his excellent driving skills spanked every obstacle.
Our own Will (rock_wagon) in his very customized LX450. If you haven't seen his rig, you should seek it out. It is way cool.
Hondo drove all the way from St. Charles, Illinois to be at the BHCC. He won the Iron Butt award too! Here he nicely stuffs a rear tire.

Here's a couple of pics of Loren, wheeling his amazing FJ40. It's a work of art.
This next one might make a good cover shot for TT.

Finally, here are some shots of me wheelin' my black 80.
These first two shots are very representative of the Iceman trail and the Black Hills. It's not like Moab: it's rocky, but the rocks move around and traction is not guaranteed.
I did have a little trail damage -- you can see I lost part of my flare! It is actually unharmed, but needs to be reattached.
One of the last obstacles on the trail is the Loading Dock. It's really a short wheelbase obstacle. I couldn't get past my rear diff, and ended up coming back down.
Loren performs a feat of strength by lifting my FZJ80 off the ground.
Here's a shot of Karie as we head back towards the ground.

Here are some pictures from the campground. First, our camp site.
Heeeee'res Jethro!
This is the FJ40 that Brian Wilson is selling. It really is very nice.
Never met the guy who owned this 40, but I'm a sucker for a cool paint job.
This guy and his wife drove all the way from Illinois in his 70. I think it was its maiden wheeling trip. They were very nice, but we never did get formally introduced.
