OK....finally got to pile the family in for a ride. This was my first as well as my jeeps and we had a blast. I felt like i represented well. Had to take the strap a coupe of times (and the winch) but we tried.
I did win the screaming contest thanks to my 7 year old (and i think i may have screamed once or twice). These guys were great coaches and helped a bunch. I'll do better next time (and may lock the front for a little extra).
Pictures? I haven't gotten many of the 8 but i'll post up when I do. Here is the one i did get that i think ya'll will like. Nothing like a beautiful women, in a Scrambler, pulling out a TJ. (the guy in the TJ drove into that hole when my kids dared him, i went around--just to be clear).
The four in the middle of the second picture are mine. I suspect my wife will want to drive next time. I already have permission to get the locker and i think i can talk her into the winch. She is very competetive and didn't like being pulled out by "smaller" jeeps. I though that was funny.

Scott Mine will be there with the Charity Scrambler. It was a huge hit at a local "meet and greet" (which I missed) and i'm looking forward to seeing it.
My son's opening day baseball game is Saturday and will last all day but i'll plan on going Sunday.
If you can i'll pm you my cell number and if you come down we'll get together.

She was not happy. These were new Rubicons with seasoned drivers. I was happy to get as far as i did (but i did tell here we wouldn't have this problem with a few small mods). I hope someone got some better pictures with the whole crew in.
