The trip was awesome! Wish we could have stayed longer sat and today. I was pretty happy with only braking a windshield from a flying rock (thanks state farm for the free replacement) and a nail in my tire but it got me home and should be patched tomorrow. Over all at lunch on sat the group had broken a drive shaft, mirror, and shock. Cant wait to hear how the rest of the trip went. now for some pics.

nice....looks like you guys had it dry???....did you get pounded last night with storms??? looked like you were.

 

it was mostly dry friday, then it rained hard for a little fri night, so it was a little muddier sat but still not real muddy

 

looks like some pretty good trails. I'm anxious to get out. still havnt brought the truck out at all EVER.

 

looks like you had another good time.

 

haha watching the videos, looks like this time you put that bumper to work for ya.

 

HAHA yeah had to test it out

 

After you left we got a donor driveshaft for my rig cut it down welded it and back on the trails we went, heading for south to mess around on the christy hill climbs. we stoped by fire pit for a few runs,on my turn i started heading out of the hole and "BANG" my rear leafs seperated and the top leaf snaped in half. the axle tried to twist under its self and snapped the pinion in half
bent my drag link in to a C, bent u bolts and dented the gas tank!!!

I had to be winched out cause the broken pinion would bind going forward and that was the only way out. I drove all the way back to camp in reverse on the fronts lol. the whole group turned thier rigs around also and followed me in reverse

time for 1tons and 4link!

 

wow that sucks. oh well at least you get to upgrade now...

 

wow, now that makes me fell real lucky to get out of the fire pit alive. which way did you come out?

 

I came out the steep side. my rig has an should have handle that like its a pothole but the leaf pack clamp had already opened up and dual transfer torque is to much for one little leaf spring. lol

 

I figured you took the right hand side outta there like yotaluver did. I opted to take the left side.

 

You can see the leaf seperation here.

oh and the broken driveshaft on the bumper
