my carnage for the trip, fortuneately it was my "trail shaft" so it took just a few minutes to swap on my good one.

Holy Cow Andy actually got his Junk painted! He was a very busy boy.
Doesn't it look a little pink though? :)

Great pics guys!

[Porch Puppy]

We're back -- we skipped out on the Barrett Lake run. It was just too much relaxing for a week of vacation (go figure). Our pictures of Fordyce are here: http://community.webshots.com/album/177524694goUxfy

We had a great time -- and enjoyed meeting a bunch of new people.

Winch Hill 3 in the light? That's not right.

Kristen and I just got home. I'll put a few pictures up sometime. :D

How come CRASH didn't have his "TEX" hat on while running Fordyce?

-Mike

There's a rumor that he kept taking it off to pull his hair out when my heep broke for the third time...but that ain't true. Fact is, he wore it the next morning at Icehouse. Besides, he'd have had to take it off to weld my endcaps anyway :). That's a sweet portable welder he's got..

-Mike

I heard it was because it pissed off the local vermin. I guess he thought it was safe on the Rubicon.

Mine should be up in the next day or two. Right now, I'm at work. :(

Glad there are a few pictures of dad's hangup. I bet if I was there I could have made his face as red as the Jeep.

Let the heckling continue. :D

Is it just me, or does that Pic. of Erik make you feel like you've just taken some kind of psychedelic reinforcement. Think I need to sit down.

This looked much worse in the daylight. I don't remember it being that tight.

Heah Lincoln, where was that squeeze at? I was behind you much of the way with Poomba and don't remember it. I know there was a tight squeeze that we did at night after the dual river crossing. I knocked a piece out of my passenger taillight there and was up on 2 wheels, felt a bit tipsy. ;) It's nice to be able to reverse out of tipsy situations many times with the traction of 4 tires. Love it.

That was it. I don't remember it being tippy but I did fold the passenger side mirror.

To all those that ran Fordyce with us, I hope you all changed your diff fluid. I finally changed mine today and there was some water in it.

[Porch Puppy]

Water?????? :huh:

[Jes]

Yes, water. You sound surprised?!
Oh ya, you live in the desert. ;)

[Porch Puppy]

I dont want to look in my diffs :eyes:

Andy

[Jes]

Skeered of what you may find in that super turdy five? :D

[Porch Puppy]

Skeered no but maybe the water will help it. :dunno:

[Jes]

Just posting worthlessly so that you're not the "Thread Killer". :D

[Porch Puppy]

Thanks Jes... :doh:

[Bryan C.]

Changed mine today and found water in both diffs. Not to mention I think the bushings in my longfield u-joint are f-ed up. Lots of slop in the joints.

I wuz scared I might have water in mine...so I changed the axles... :rtm:

[Kernel]

i was surprized that there wasn't any in my front diff. my hub kit was a different story. a little rust on the outside bearing. nothing more grease didn't crue.

was going to check the rear last night but ran out of courage.

i did find some cracks in my frame and track bar mount. all better now.
