Thats a huge problem with 14 bolts. The plug welds break on and spin diff on the tubes.

What his plan get a new one?

good times were had by all. I broke a spider gear (I think). Feller lost his brakes and rolled into David O's rig and some tree's (the second time). David broke his 14 bolt by twisting the center section.

Sweet stuff out here - plenty of full throttle attempts and many winch lines were pulled. Pics to come.

Yeah, I was fighting problems with my brakes all day, and I finally lost them completely late in the day. I rolled backwards into DavidO once, then had the truck stall out and roll back at the top of the trail. There was no one around (luckily), and I had to use a large cedar tree as my brakes. Luckily it held, or it would have been a long way down. I also had to drive out of a roll early saturday morning when I stood the 4runner up on its nose coming off a steep ledge.

I really liked the place. The place is huge, and you can go pretty much anywhere you want. The only rule is don't cut down any oak trees. There are trails for all types of vehicles out there. Another nice thing about the place was the bunkhouses. For $10 a person you can spend the entire weekend in a bunkhouse with beds, electricity, bathrooms with showers and hot water. It sure beat camping in a tent.

I think that he should get a big pipe wrench or a chain wrench, hook it to a his winch, and twist the tube straight - then weld it back up. Fastest, cheapest, easiest method (that's what DavidO is always looking for)

Somehow I still managed to dent some sheetmetal

no extra welds there, just the stock plug welds.
