We had a good time. I will get some picks up as soon as i can.
I did not brake anytime but the wife broke a rear 44 cromo shaft and found out the other one had twisted splines. Also broke a front 44 yukon stub shaft. Have not taken the front apart yet but i think that is what it is.
some picks
a few more
Lynda's Jeep did good. Just a few more scrapes on the underside - no real damage.
So - we were sitting back at camp drinking some frosty adult beverages when we watch the "big boys" pull back in (47"+, rockwells), one was being pulled back.
Heard him start the engine to pull up onto the trailer, saw the smoke and had to take a look. They mentioned that he rolled it over and hydrolocked it but also mentioned that he got it started and it ran fine for like 20 minutes after the roll. I just like looking thru one side of the blockand seeing light out the other side...
So I got 8.7 mpg with the new Dodge:confused: - with only one rig on the trailer!
I guess that's the trade off for these new engines and a bigger back seat
and a few more
On another side note - that sweet Twisted Customes 4-Seater buggy that Nolan owns was out there. Cool to see in person - I know what I want in the future...

Probably that and the Texas Hill Country doing 70~75... The overhead was averaging 9.5mpg...Quote:

If so its way taller than the truck unlike on a bumper pull, so that is why coop and JB get good gas mileage?
I bet it opens up after the break-in. Mine was upto about 20-30K before it went from 17 on the hwy to 19 or 20 (sans rigs of course). I get 11-12 with klogger/blazer at 80 with cruise control on the whole way.
I'm sure its taller, but 8.7 still sounds very low.Quote:
