    Clayton pics - from this weekend

    Well,
    Cody, Troy and I decided to make a last minute run to Clayton so that Troy can work out the bugs and get some seat time in his new buggy.

    Carnage:
    I broke my ram mount off my knuckle - was able to limp back to town and get it welded back on.
    I cut THREE (3) of my tires!!!
    Cody broke his drag link
    Cody bent a leaf spring
    Cody broke his rear driveshaft
    Troy bent his sway bar arms and rods.

    On the trip back home, the tranny went out in my Dodge (could only use 4th gear) while pulling my goosenect with the Patrol and Cody's Jeep on it. We were able to make it from I45 to Codys house (four turns and three stop signs) in fourth gear... while pulling... I had to slam it into 4 low-4th gear to pull up into Codys house... It's still there

    Just like colorado, Cody, maybe we shouldn't haul with scott? Seems that every time we do something goes wrong....

    I lost my tranny in Z71 coming back from Colorado pulling a trailer. Happend in Fort Stockton, we made it back to the house in SA with the same, 4th gear...

    There are a few other problems to iron out but nothing too major.

    Stumble in to the liquor store
    With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
    I know just what I'm lookin for
    Thunderbird will do just fine.

    I do, but they were just a little too big after resizing and I didn't feel like resizing again. I will post them all on the web instead...

    jeep slide off rock and landed on drag link only. something had to give. glad it was that and not the steering box. it bent the 1" TRE and broke right after the threads on the TRE stoped. so much for 4140 tubing. it was interesting driving with just the ram assit.
