No way I didn't hear any breakage after he winched the 85 Runner up, you and I spotted him back up, I thought he was fine. Oh well he still made the last ledge look EASY.

Yeah, it didn't break completely. He heard it popping like the cage broke but didn't come apart, so he unlocked that hub and drove out in 2wd.

Oh yeah, Mike S. in the black '85 broke 3 studs on his steering knuckle-that's why we were all an hour late for dinner. Not a big deal-Roger from TLCA helped us out with some parts.

Yeah I heard your call for Roger over the CB, I guess where we were on the upper part of Trail 5 was right above the water crossing where it happend. We were stuck behind a broken buggy, he snapped his upper wishbone of his 3 link in half. Then we flew down Trail 4, good thing I guess, we missed complicating your ordeal on 5. Glad we just all made it home safe and in time for the food.

Yeah the boys did play nice, I certainly helped that SS hopped ship from the Wabbit Wagon(no pun intended) and rode with others on the way down.

Just got home! WOW what a long ride! Snapped the pins in the rear locker and it made driving home a terrible trip. But I did make home safely!

No pics from me either, too busy wheeling.

Had a great time and cant wait to do it again!

When I was coming out of the water at fains ford.
I wasnt really doing anything hard, but there was a loud snap and I thought for a second that I had broke the ring and pinion. But that was not the case.

Yup that snap worried me too, but when I jumped down and checked there was nothing visble, from the sound it seemed like a R&P or a driveshaft. I'm just glad you and Donna made it home safe. Thanks for EVERYTHING guys, great weekend. Guess it's time for an e-locker in the rear dude

Ceeby, I'll get you and everyone some pics up when I finally get all this cleaning done, and get some SLEEEEEEEP.

Ah, that was the loud noise...that was going in. I guess you didn't notice it until you got up to higher speeds. I guess now is the time to test what you learned installing diffs/gears etc.
