Well, now to hear from the guy that got the carnage award...
Thursday, my day ended before I got to the trail head, my elect fan seized and I over heated, just the beginning of my heating problems.
Friday on lower 2, I started to smoke my tranny, which continued to give me problems the rest of the weekend, winched where everyone else did on that trail so I feel good, that trail "rocks"!!!, I did winch down lower 2 as well cuz I needed to catch up and my tranny wouldn't turn any of my tires. Knocked a front tire off the bead in a mud hole on the way back to camp.
Sat is where it got fun, going to guardrail, I was the third in a row to take out my rear glass on the same rock as Woody and Mark, I saved my stickers tho. Made it half way up guardrail when I started to loose a bead on my rear wheel, One Ton said go and I went, climbing the rock with both front tires in the air, so I was told. Then, helicopter pad, this was a bad deal for me, I was really hitting that with alot of skinny pedal and ended up breaking my pinion shaft of my 9", winch time. during winching up, my already bent tierod bent the rest of the way making a trail fix manditory with the jeep setting at almost 70* up hill. Thanks to Sean again for his help and the help of a couple other Jeeps to get my tierod straight (sort of) and Mike for the use of his welder to put some strength back into it with a piece of angle. Back together and up the hill to remove my rear DS. On the way back to camp, late for supper (again) in front wheel drive I took out my rear tail light (LED's) on a root, then down school bus I then had another flat, which the use of a small compresser I was back on the road, once we hit the gravel, One Ton and I were driving hard, me in front wheel drive, simulating an east coast Jeep Speed event, once we hit the pavement and headed up hill I heard a noise from the front end and my XJ wasn't running very well, I baked the motor. Woody pulled me back to camp and we ate, drank beer, watched videos and slept (I slept when the video of Sean was on)
Made it home around midnight, 16 hours with all the accidents and road work.
Thanks to EVERYONE, had a great time, very costly but what the hell, it was fun and I rode alot of the hard core stuff and made it, you have to expect to break when you put your junk throught what I did, besides, I always break, just now bigger parts.
