your right it was "STUPID" to think we could roll out there alone and run Armour All all the way up then turn around and run it downHaha! Damn guys. Those "one last time" trip will getcha every time. There wasn't anyone there this time to egg yall on and shyt still broke. Glad yall got it off the mountain.
Well me an BIGAZZBURBAN finally got down off the mountain at
8pm...thanks F'er's ...
Went up for one last quick ride up ArmorAll...no problems...then decided to turn around and run it backwards
Made it maybe 20' and know we broke at least drivers side axle on both ends, posibly broke locker or r & p ... or maybe pass side axle...then the jeep died and would not crank back,
found some blown fuses and replaced, still no fire or fuel pump.
Began raining, then pouring...
started winching out of the creek, up the hill and found the unit bearing separating....fixed that to hold the wheel on
also broken brake caliper mount and frayed winch cable...
Had some ATV's run back to campground only to see RedneckCJ5's taillights in the distance...thanks Pal...I'll remember that...
Anyhow...got a ride back to camp with ATVer's...damn ghosttown I tell ya...everyone had bagged asss.....brought a
fresh Interstate battery back up...killed that Bitch within 30
feet winchin...Pansy ass ATVer's bagged ass too....so we hiked down the mountain for Help...not a Sole there with a 4x4
...Thanks Fella's... went to town, bought a new Optima Yellowtop at the GhettoZone...met some yocals with a Toyota hangin out in the lot...apparently the highlight in Mountain City...well they were sampling some homegrown herb
with the adjacent vehicle...anyhow, talked enuf shit to em to get them to come help us off the mountain
Hauled boogy back up the mountain, got the winch back in action and finally towed that Bitch outta there...
So we got another hour to ride here and then off to work by 8am in the RTP (another hour ride to work)
Had a blast ridin' with you Fawker's... Look forward to the next trip...!!!
PS What did I LEARN THIS WEEKEND....When your FK'd...your FK'd ....WORD UP...Paul....!!!!
That was John that posted all that above using my laptop on the way home. He just used my account instead of logging in on his account. Nobody's mad... mostly just giving redneckcj5guy (Paul) crap. HAHAHey I tried! I call everyone I knew. I was already in Winston when John called.
Hell yea we left him.
The guy w/ the green Bronco was w/ us and I'll just say in his defense, since he doesn't visit this site much, he had already had a very bad weekend and to be honest it was my fault for his being in the trail while I was on Pull Cable. It is an unfortunate thing that there is not more room there to get out of other peoples way. I can't speak to the second time someone had to ask him to move but I am quite sure it was not intentional since he was w/ my group wherever he went.I'd also like to send out a special thanks to the guys in the buggy who past us broken down on the tail and asked us where they could get propane. And the Crabby guy in the Green bronco who parked in the middle of the trail and acted like it was killing him to move the hell out of the way.

Now I would like to address the guys in the buggy looking for propane. One of the rigs in our group ran out of propane and headed back to camp. It could have been them, I don't know for sure, but if it was they would only been able to offer opinions and elbow grease. They had no, or almost no, tools or spares on the rig. I would like to think everyone in our club would always stop and help someone out but if it was our guys, I will apologize since they were w/ our club and should have stopped.
I would like to thank the guy in the Dodge, sorry forgot your name, that gave me the "Why didn't I think of that idea" to get my friends Jeep back to camp. We were able to get her back and fixed up, thanks.

Oh and BIGAZZBURBAN wouldn't listen to me and ended up ripping his front Lower control arm mount off the unibody.
EDIT: that one flat green one was resto'd really nice..I had passed y'all earlier and joked with him that I thought it was time for cage
Yea...the 2 willys were fine..they had pulled to the side. The bronco guy was the problem. I was the one who asked him to pull up...and he acted like it was going to kill him. That was the 2nd time that day that I had to ask him to move his vehicle from the center of the trail. The 2nd time he was being a douche bag about moving it. In all actuality all he would have had to do was back up about 25 feet and to the left...let us pass then pull right back up. It was really that simple. But it's all good now...weekend is over, maybe next time he will pull to the side.
