Hey guys, to the few I met I had a blast. Part of our club went up there and we had a rough weekend. I left with a few dents got stuck between a rock and a hard place, I could not go forward b/c of a rock, or rear because of a tree.
First time on kodax's section my rear diff came loose, I was lucky enough it was just the cover came loose, and not a hole
2nd time on kodax section my driver rear shock broke lose from the top mount (dog bone got twisted all out of shape) and my rear tire was sitting in the middle of the jeep :) Thanks to mike and john (again) they got my rear axle back in place, and we figured out how to put the shock back in (plus he let me barrow some limited straps to get off the trail.) The only thing physically wrong with me is I am sore all over, bad cold, lost my voice and lack of sleep (I dropped the jeep off at the parents house around 12 in the morning then drove around two hours trying to find a place to stay that did not have a party, cause my house had about 20 peps in it, so did my parents house)
Bryan got off with the worst, correct me if I'm wrong he left with a screwed up clutch, traction bar support broke off, massive leaks, undiagnosed as of yet, plus a nice hole or dent in the rear diff cover.
john left with nothing wrong, but ratbone fixed his driver door for him..... go figure, he gets things fixed, we get things broke.
kudos to mike and his buddy in the blue s-10 cab buggy (I'm sure the only thing that was an s-10 was the cab, They came by and helped us out alot!!! and if anyone see them remind him it is a staun tyre deflators
pics to come I'm sure, and a good video of me breaking
 
Did anyone get a video of me yanking D'MANN off the rock?
 
That was you? haha, I was the one that got wedge on the rock beside him. I was worried for a sec because I thought I put a hole in my diff. After I asked someone to pull me up I felt like an idiot because it was just a loose diff cover.

As far as the video goes, I will have to ask around.
 
Yes that was me it was nice to meet & put some faces behind these names on here

Working on Video as we speak, but they put the camera away right after I got wedged in there and smoked the clutch.

It's gonna be a few weeks before I get the heep back on the road.

1. Traction bar body mount
2. Rear Differential cover
3. Smoked clutch
4. Locked ignition


On the good note, the Bilsteins that I was testing worked flawlessly.... and I've decided to go Propane.... anyone got Hank Hill's number???
 
Cool! I can't wait to see the video sorry to hear about all the other stuff that went wrong
 
The video guy has the video, waiting on him.
