Damn Sorry to hear about your friend as well. Stuff happens usually at the most unexpected times. Take care maybe you can make the next one.

I am still coming I went wheeling yesterday in Starksburo, VT I smacked my TJM on a tree when my tire slid down off a rock it plowed right into it moved it down on one side about 1 1/2" so now I need to loosen it up and readjust it. I rolled back being in a tight area and hit a tree denting my rear tailgate then in the same area had a tree smack my upper pillar on the passengers side. I also bent a idler arm on a steep hill climb..... The idler arm should be fixed this week though. All in all it was a ok trail almost like some of the blue trails in Paragon AP.
Update idler is now replaced the wheels are now somewhat straight...
