Here they are with a little preview... I have 91 pics in all!! A very good mix, wish I had gotten more in on some of the night wheeling stuff.
We lifted a few tires
Winched a little
Got in a little deep
And relaxed a little
Even caught a sneaky jeeper

Yeah we made it home with little trouble.I almost lost my bronco on the interstate.The strap that was around the frame in the back cut into and flew off.Luckily I left it in low range and in gear or it would have rolled off once the front come unhooked,but we got it rehooked and made it home. |

HOLY!! 
Yeah I didnt see how it came in but when you left I didnt really like the setup. got any binders and chain? We usually use chain and binders to the front axle to the front of the trailer and then the same on the rear axle to the rear of the trailer and then a strap like the one you had over the hood and a strap like yours over the rear of the truck. I have gobs of extra 1/4" chain if you need some.
