my lil trip report...kinda

sunday: did kane creek road was a bit more washed out but hey it's on the side of a hill, no real problems just a tree ripped off my flair and joined me in the drivers seat. lesson learned that day: thinking causes trouble....right remi

monday:work
tues:work

weds. remi, stebel, santa and i went out to greenday cause remi wanted to well i got through gatekeeper
and when remi tried he couldnt steer oh well we left. lesson learned: even if remi cant steer he don't let off the gas.

thurs. the polish mob, santa, jared and i went back out to settle remi's score, well this time we made it further but not much green day isn't liking steering lesson learned: santa has a big shaft(for steering that is)

friday. hey joe canyon had 6 in our group i first passed debinky well rd so we took a neat lil alternate spring canyon rd no real troubles just alot of scratches due to tamarisk. lesson learned: von's roof rack clears tunnels through tamarisk

sat. von had an idea to run goldbar to the crack and back, was doing great until von tried the crack, his jeep didn't come out that night. lesson learned:crack kills huh von :toungeout:

sun. von, tracy, jay and myself went in to rescue vons jeep got to it pretty quickly got it fixed jay and i crossed the crack and back then we all headed over to double whammy tracy made it then i made von tried but before he could reall y beat his jeep he backed up to realighn and when he turned he lost steering fluid, the seal fell out, so without a pitman arm puller we beat the pitman arm for probably 2 1\2 hrs til jay got it off, got von fixed and made our way out, then von lost power steering but we were racing the darkness so he was a trooper and dealt with it until we got out and could get all th air out of the system. lesson learned: don't go wheeling with von

It didn't turn out to be much of a secret. But at least the Polish Mafia came to provide some extra entertainment!

No. :flamemad: I was even confident enough to buy the sticker. I guess it will stay in the glovebox until the spring. One things for sure, I refuse to lock the diffs until I do potato salad hill open/open!

I should be honest and let you know that I slid off the wall the first try and had to reposition the rear end to have another try. Thanks to Jeff for getting me up it!

Come on, Von. Who could resist wheeling with you and witnessing that sexy longarm flex?

Must have been all the flex in the front that stressed his steering box to the point of breaking.

or was it the fan belt.
