Travis- two chromo 35 spline outters, electrical issues(yj/buggy)
Marky- cracked trans case (cruiser buggy,rocks 47's)
Mel- flop, front rockwell detached from rig (multi-hour fix)(TJ 49's)
Eric- hubs and R&P front end (turbo yota buggy)
Mike- alternator (2)( stretched YJ, tons 44's)
Sean/pete- Ram mount tab (TJ buggy)
Chris- broken rockwell shaft (front and rear) (CJ buggy ,rocks, 50's)
Me- bent wheel (buggy)
PJ- no known damage (yota buggy)


95% of the carnage came on the your turn trail. Damn fun weekend though, great group of peeps. Thanks to Snappy for some great chili. I'll put some videos together tonight.
 
I got schooled in trail rig repair 101, not to metion on multi trips of pulling winch cable. Had a blast and thanks to the whole md crew for be open and willing to help as always.
 
Heard that Rockwell fix was a bitch. How much does that thing weigh?
 
That is one hell'uva trip! Sounds fun, but i bet yall are pretty tired.

I was up for almost 38 hrs straight! Slept like a baby last night though.


New power steering pump is ordered and should be here Wednesday. And no more o-ring fittings.
 
Yeah along with the 2 alternators and slashed 42 i also burned up my air compressor helping Cassidy with his cracked wheel. We also can't forget Norton's smashed windshield on lower damnation. Still had a great time and got to meet some new people, great weekend.
 
Yeah, not many saw my dumbass go over on Lower Damnation. I think I was more pissed about the window than I was the shafts. It smashed the a-pillar into the cage. Everyone knows how calm Carey is and how nothing seems to phase her. First thing she said was "Motherf@#ker!' and still claims she wasnt calling me that. Hmm. This will be a trip that nobody will forget. I believe there is only one person to get out with no problems.

Got any pics I guess I should have stayed to watch!
 
i think i was video taping you guys coming up the rock hill off of trail 12, there was an orange jeep there on rocks, a turbo toyota buggy on pane, that flopped and had some tire wheel issues, another guy with rocks and michelin's, a black yj, and a toyota truggy, with a red exo on irok's. there was also a black jeep buggy with an aluminum LS motor... I was there on saturday, up to when yall were working on winching that rock down to make a new line up it, and the tree was bending over. If this was you guys, i got some great videos, just working on doing some editing, should i just post a link in here to it when i'm done?

I was in the 84 blue and white suburban

Yes that was us
 
is it alright with yall to just poast a link to the video when i am done? Just didnt want to piss anybody off by posting a video of them w/o their permission, and what is the name of that spot where yall were wheeling at, or does it have a specific name? And did yall get that rock moved to open up a new line?

Something doesn't sound right here. I thought the point of rockcrawling was to go over the rocks not move them out of the way!!!! LOL

Post it up. That was little jagger. Never got the rock were we wanted it.
 
no they were moving a suburban sized rock, into a hole the size of a 4runner, in order to open up an all rock line up this hill instead of having to drive on dirt and rocks, words so this spot no justice, neither do pictures
 
Not really, I think it's more like "cage testing for dummies", if you want to try your cage out then hit little jagger.
 
Our group of buggy, landcruiser/buggy, and toyota mini truck road all weekend had a blast. I hit jager first thing friday night broke power steering pump shaft, had to back down and ride with someone. Saturday got up picked up pump, tried again sat. night that is when I tested the cage out went over at top of jager (cage works great!) Got up with Travis and the boys on the new trail late sat. We rode sunday, the new trail really change from sat. night to sunday large rock at exit hard to get around now. Also road new section upper rock garden. Had a blast great to see so many people out having fun in a sport that is getting harder to find land to ride on.

No, but I rode it at pretty much its limit for about 12 miles. Remove the speed limiter please.

Ill see what I can do about that speed limiter. Or I might just slap a turbo that thing. Ha Ha!

I also mangled all four wheels, trashed a steering ram, and I am dreading washing off the mud to see what else there is.

I had a great time. Thanks to Mark for picking up my ram JT for the tire help Pj for the tubes and everyone for all the help.Cant wait for the next trip.
 
about half way done with editing, ive spent two hours working on it tonight, and more to come. Little Jagger is amazing, from what I saw it looks tough with about a 80% chance of flopping one way or another. I just cant wait until my jeep is done so i can try it. and another thing....looking at it from the top all day is one thing, but when you go down to the bottom and look up at it, its extremely intimidating....and awesome.

Who has the black YJ buggy with the maxxis tires thats dovetailed? Im just curious if i could pick your brain some on you rig, ive got a few things I want to ask you about since im workin on mine and i'm not finished yet.
