You'll have to wait and see! The computer's having a hell of a time chewing on all this video. I should have one video posted in another hour, and the rest will have to wait till tomorrow evening or later. I have 43 minutes of edited video exporting, and that was just from the morning. The after lunch stuff is crazy.
The only carnage I had to the XJ was the snapped rear sway bar. Right in half.
Edit: Started breaking up the longer video segments and uploading them to YouTube. I will update this post as they appear online.

Edit: I have started uploading video segments to YouTube, in higher quality. They should all end up as 720p HD video on YouTube, but I don't know how long it will take for their import process to finish.
Jenny and I had a blast this weekend. Our tow rig broke on the way down but we were wheeling by saturday afternoon. Jenny climbed her first rock this weekend and is still talking about it. Can't wait to see all the pictures.
Glad to her that everyone had a good time, wish I could have been there but Chrysler wanted me to work , so I guess I will have to wait til next year to go. I'll be at the Cliff's though
Cool video's, thanks for sharing. Which trail was Camera 3? It didn't look familiar but did look like a great time! I enjoyed trail footage from Camera 2 as well.
I believe 3 was part of the green trail (I remember seeing the green trail markers). Not sure about 2, but I believe I was on the white (if that exists) trail for a bit as well. I was just following the others, for the most part. It sure was fun! The stupid image stabilization really takes some of the bumps out, so the video looks much smoother than the ride really was.
Boy I can't wait to see the other videos. So far I've only see myself fail several obstacles running around in front of you. I guess I should have aired down right away, but it was still fun. I know there are some better obstacles, post those :)

Dude, it took my work machine ALL day to process those four videos (in the background, of course *cough*), and my super Mac Mini is literally burning hot to the touch chewing through the video I shot while walking around. I only have so many internets at my house to do the upload to YouTube!
The first of three videos of me walking around dodging rocks and sod should be uploaded in a couple minutes. I'll update this post with those videos as they come online through YouTube.
Thanks! I really enjoyed shooting these videos, and I'm glad they turned out as well as they did. I still have one more group of videos to edit and upload to YouTube. Those videos are of me riding in the silver Wrangler, and may take a while to edit. Lots of bouncing around and bad camera angles.
