OK, if you'd like to know what the heck I'm talking about....check out the website: www.crawl4cure.org

I've participated both years, and had an awesome time both years! here's some pics and stuff from this year.

this is all done in an old Iron Ore Pit mine in northern minnesota. so that's why the water is that bright red color

one of the guys' wife sewed the letters MS Crawl 4 the Cure on his spare tire carrier on his YJ....WAY cool:

my buddy's YJ did really awesome, the stuff we took of it on the same trails as me just look boring, so here's a couple more extreme ones.
this trail's called pucker point, I tried it...and spent so much time teetering on 2 wheels, that I ended up getting dragged through most of it:

The Gorge Rock crawl, Morgan took the poopenvagon through the first part of this last year, but I didn't dare do it again this year, with all the rust that has formed on it since then:

and then some playing in the water:

all in all, we had a blast, taking the doors off was the best idea I've ever had!!! WOW, totally worth getting soaked with iron ore water, SOOO much easier to see when on the rocks.

unfortunately, we had a smaller turnout this year....not sure why, hopefully it doesn't turn into a trend. but nonetheless, we'd raised just shy of $20k BEFORE the auction sunday night. so we'll probably be similar to last years 21.

we got about an hour of video, so there will be some of that available when I get it all edited

damage:
mangled passenger side control arm/radius rod
mangled driver side radius rod mount
ripped 2 skidplate bolts out of the radiator support, and sheered off a 3rd before removing the fourth
knocked the cat-back off, once each day
flat tire, turned out to just be crap in the valve, still holding
bent center driveshaft carrier
tweaked rear crossmember lift blocks

btw, the poopenvagon is the black wagon that I'm now driving, it was built buy a guy named Morgan...that's the story behind that

actually, I hate mud!! alot!!!! this is a different sport. actually, we do some water crossings, and while the water is incredibly dirty. the bottom is quite hard. no worries about getting stuck, just soaking your ignition system, intake, or clutch.

just got the final count. a bit over $23k to go directly to the MS Society!!

and, I just finished editing together the video. all 40 minutes worth (after editing, almost double that in raw footage). so I'll compile some other stuff we got together, and probably have a DVD for sale in the next month or so.
