Thank you everyone who put this together.

My rig was again cursed by Ouray.

Aaaack, sorry to read that, your rig is so nice, waiting for the exorcist I guess!

Cheers to Yeller who drove in +100F...

When I checked the temp in Nevada and Utah, it over 100F in their forecast .... I bailed out... 90F is my limit wo AC...

I have a ton of photos.

Wanted to say THANK YOU! to all those who helped make this event happen, everyone who took their old Jeeps up, everyone who contributed to the raffle.

34 FSJ's in attendance and $2312 raised for Ouray mountain rescue. Definitely the largest invasion since the original 2002 invasion.

Mine too! Drove it all week but got sideswiped by a SXS and blew the gasket between the trans and transfer case. Never seen a manual trans smoke before

If anyone can make a manual trans smoke my bet would be on you!

You’re welcome! Had a lot of help to make it happen from Sarah, Aubreyanna, Jessica and others.

Also, can’t say thank you enough to those who have kept it going over the years such as Flint and Krista, Mike Shimniok, Scott Roberts, Rstep, Tad, Casey and a few others I’m likely having a brain fart on at the moment.

Technically Nikkormats was driving at that point! :p

Has anyone posted pictures?

I have posted a couple to Facebook. I’m working on editing a video collage. Sometime this week I’ll try and get some that can be shared on the forum.

If you use Instagram we have a hashtag set up that we’ve all been tagging. ourayfsjreinvasion22

That would be great if you could get them over here on the forum, as I do not do fakebook or IG.

Yeah agreed. I would really like to see some of the pictures.

At least both of yours still ran by the end. Lol

Very true. Still feel bad yours died on the trail.

I knew it was on borrowed time, 40 years and 180k miles is a ticking time bomb. Plus it was an adventure to get it off the trail, one I am glad I had help getting done but not one I want to repeat

I found a ton of carbon in the engine which I think plugged oil passages that caused 1,2 and 4 rod bearing to seize
