I like how my girlfriend looks scared in every pictures, it makes me wonder why she continues to go offroading with me...
We had a crazy day out there, it took us 10 hours to get through a 1.0 mile trail. Plus changing Tony's R&P was a saga like none other, between the 4 of us we only had 2 bottle jacks, 1 hi-lift and just enough tools to do the job. Plus the rear end fell off the bottlejacks at one point, luckily no one was hurt. Plus it was a scortcher out there, I ran my AC for maybe a 1/4 of the trail until I noticed that my temp guage was up to H. Once again we got lucky and there wasn't any serious damage. It was nice meeting everyone! I'll post up the pics my girlfriend took when she sends them over to me. Oh and one more thing to the damage report, Tony's sidemarker.

I got the most amazing sleep EVER !!!
Thanks for the comments everyone!!, the Bed bob Deff served its function yesterday. EPIC Trail run, Thats the only word that describes it!! Pat, I deff need something under that tcase of mine :roll: And that pic you asked about, Was on the uphill section right after this obstacle http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...0/DSCN1040.jpg And I think you can actually see the rock right in this pic http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...0/DSCN1051.jpg Great Run Tony and Pat !! Nice meeting you Tony, Kinda crappy what happened to your rig, but at least you were able to get home.. :dj: |
|
Once again Scuba, my jealous meter has pegged!! I MISS THAT WHEELIN!!!!!! :D lol!! Good stuff! Looks like your truck did great, you STILL don't have a BudBuilt skid yet? :roll:
Bummer about the R&P, that's craziness!!!! |
There's only one thing better than wheeling...wheeling with a cute chick.
I bet she had a blast - looks like everybody did. Good trip report, good to see you're actually out there hitting the trails. Bed bob looks good. Fink:devil: |
Al: she looks like that because that part of the trail was petty epic. Pat barely had brakes and flew down it like nothing. Scared me too.
Logan, how bout you al and plumber bob all male a roadtrip down here and come wheel.. And no BB's yet, he said there might be some compatibility issues with the single cabs and the tcase skid x member, so waiting to hear from him, guess I'll call him again tomorrow. Fink. You are right, she's the first chick Thats been wheeling withe, and yes she along with erryone had a great time. I love getting out and wheelin new trails, gives me a sense of adventure :) and thank you for the compliments. Patrick, looking forward to seeing all of your pics :dj: |
Nice pics man. Looks like a good time. That bed bob is sick, good work.
|
Now that WOULD be a roadtrip!!! LOL!!
Ah dang, I thought he had a skid for your body style? :think: |
Scuba, nice pics. Except one!
I'll get mine up soon. Not as quick as you with this stuff as you know. I had a great time regardless of the damage. This is one trip I won't forget for a long time. The heat was definately getting to me while working on the axles. All in all it was a good trip but wish we could have gone further. Covered more trails. Next time. I'll need you to help me through getting you the video. Call me. You guys were fun and that section where rocks were stacked, not to aid but to hinder Patrick's forward progress was hilarious. I wished I had audio of that. I don't think his girlfriend was scared, I think she was laughing her fanny off. That guy with the Jeep was pretty awesome giving me that gear oil and for making that dropoff look easy although his rig was the tipsiest on it. Thanks to everyone for their efforts yesterday. I couldn't believe what I was about to tackle when I made my decision. I couldn't have done it without you guys. |
This is why we were so late.

Getting my truck to level ground after the breakage.
http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2816.jpg I've got a lot of work in store for me http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2820.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2825.jpg Our jack stands http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2826.jpg Scuba doing what he can to help http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2827.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2829.jpg the pinion gear is way worse. No good pictures of it. Its in the front housing for now. No axles or front drive shaft in until I can get the gears replaced and my Tru Trac back up front. Filthy http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2833.jpg http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2847.jpg front 3rd going into the rear http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2852.jpg |
Had such a great time yesterday tony, Just so you know, I helped out as much as I could, did not at all feel like getting as dirty as you did, If we had a tarp I would have been all over it..
Logan, He does, I want the full set from front to Tcase though.. So im waiting to see if the xmember for the rear skid will fit. Said there was no problem on Xcab/Dcab's.. Oh, And for the record this wasnt resting on the axle seal.. http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/s...7/100_2827.jpg Tony, Working on getting vids up now.. :dj: |

In addition to my r&p and side marker, my tailgate only opens about 8 inches now and my check engine light came on on my way home from the run. I haven't checked out the code yet. It looks like the linear spring that helps the tailgate is off its guide and it seems the guide is missing or busted. Don't know yet.
Scuba I've been trying to send you that #2 many times and it always says attachment failed. Trying one last time now. |
So what was up with your TG in the first place..? is that a new one or something..
Good luck with the CEL I guess, Ill be in Oside for an upcoming while so if you need an extra hand and im free just ask.. What exactly is #2 of..? Of BTW, The videos open up in WMP with a double click, just click yes when it gives you the error.. :dj: |
