awesome!
haha, i said awesome a lot didnt I? That was as I was running out the door to head out there. Oh well, I was scattered. Fun day, we saw the trucks and couldnt find anyone so we took the truck out on our own, then when we came back the yellow wrangler had broken a U-joint and who knows what else and the spindle wasnt attached. But we did find one guy and saw Ed drive by. We are going back out tomorrow for a bit but TAMOR is leaving early so I ended up not wheeling with the off road club at all. We got some good pictures.Quote:

drove it back to camp with one wheel drive and whill backing into the shade it busted the ball joint
Ed managed to bust both front shafts while wedging his truck firmly inbetween 2 trees, one in front touching the stinger and another holding the tailgate shut.
we had to cut a tree, with permission of the owners, to get it out
he should have pictures but I was able to pull the inner axleshaft yoke out of the nuckle with the tire still one.
Good stuff
they on the way home we discovered a blown inside dual and was unable to find a replacement so we drove to dallas with a blow inside dual chunking rubber as we drove down the highway.
Also his alignment must be fcked because the driverside front on the truck was worn to the cords is several spots on inside so we had to change it as well.
Fun drive home
Inside left rear dual on the trailer.
It made it all the way back to the house like that, will get it fixed in the a.m. I don't think I took one frikin picture all weekend. I was to pissed about the broken u-joints and shafts on the beast to think about it. It did pretty good in 2wd on saturday on the way back to camp from the 4 wheeler comps. There were some pretty good hills and holes that required a good bit of finesse of the skinny pedal. Once the "upgrades" are done, there will be plenty of good video of the beast gettin beat to ****. :) Good time were had, I met up w/ some folks from Durango (a little town in our school district) that I sorta knew and got to wheel w/ them Friday night. That is when the truck got wedged and broke. Guess I shouldn't try to follow a sammy anymore :D It only took us 3 hours to find it the next morning. (Lets just say there were plenty of libations consumed both nights. )

Funny reading back on this thread though, the same tire (just the front axle this time) shelled it's cap coming through San Marcos on 35. That was a sight to look back and see the cap about 15 feet in the air with traffic behind me. Lucked out and no one was hit. I can't remember what the brand of those tires is, but they are complete sh!t. Put some Hankooks on so we will see how they hold up.
