So we started out to see some Hummers do themselves in. Which seemed to be a little tame after a few minutes. there were over 50 Hummers there however 1's, 2's, and 3's. So we all headed out to test our new equipment. Lockers (4 jeeps, 4Aussies), skids, t-cases, and my new Y-link. All worked supremely well. Some of the obstacles were a little tamer than normal so we spent the day trying to create new lines and routes up the same old stuff. Lots of fun. Then our damage for the day happened. We always seem to have some sort of damage, but this time was a little better than normal. Jody (opracer) tried a very difficult, steep, and offcamber line. When all of a sudden there was a loud POP! The front axle was toast. He drove it up and out of the hole so we could get to the axle, when he got to the top (maybe 15yds) his front wheel all but fell off. The lower ball joint mount on the outer "C" gave out and broke. This also caused the upper balljoint to become dislodged. He was dead in the water. Luckly we are a little slow to recycle our old axles from various swaps and we had spares to fix this at my dad's house. So off went dad to retrieve parts, took around 1 to 2 hrs for him to return. While he was gone it was back to standard shenanigans and creating new ways of old lines, I nearly rolled coming off a ledge due to bad tire placement. I had to remove my seat from my a$$ with a crow bar, it took 3-4 guys to hold down my rear so I could drive out. We, well I had a few new dents and a beat to hell rear bumper, I don't think there was any other damage for the day. Dad showed back up and we put the jeep back together in undr 15 minutes, and back on the road. All in all a great day.
