Clark do you have a spare truck tire you could throw on the rear to roll it in the garage? Isn't it the same BP?

I was directed to take this photo. Someone (not naming names) left @BigMike sleeping by the fire Sat night.

LOL, I woke up at 2:30 and didn't know where the hell I was.  I was over-served!  I thought @tcdawg would look out for me at least.

I'd blame the guy who set up those gears.  Prolly his fault.  ;-)

Good thing you got a few new sets with that trophy!  Thanks again for all of your help with my break, member of the year!

The driver side corner on my Jeep rubbed a tree.  I also think I bent a rear axle flange.  There is a rotational squeak coming from the right rear.  It goes away under hard braking. 

Also forgot that I bent the front sway bar links over the tie rod.  HUGE thanks to @Anvilsam for bringing me his stock rears to get me home!


My cart at Metal Cloak is over $3k right now.  Going to call Will @MC to see if I can get a better deal.

I'd check with Danny too before you pull the trigger.

Awesome weekend! Wheeling, dinner, raffle, margaritas, & dinner were all a success (well some more than others when it comes to the raffle and wheeling)

I had a fun and uneventful two days on the trails.  No night ride carnage, and no attempts at anything too hard.  Steve's flop was the most exciting event.  I had intended to try the slab below Jungle, but there's now a fallen log t the bottom.

The green JK that broke on Razorback is a local guy who hooked up with us Saturday afternoon.  He was doing very well through the Jungle, but at the gatekeeper to Razorback I noticed his front locker was not engaged.  He said it was intermittent and that he had done the trail open-open previously.  He had to winch at one spot halfway up, and then tried the hard line where he broke.  He didn't realize it at the time and moved over to the right side, where noise from the rear made him get out to look.

I had a blast, and this has been one of my favorite wheeling trips so far. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend.

I punched a hole in my front dif cover, but luckily I planned on that happening at some point and carried a few spares in the truck so I was able to swap it out. I also managed to bend my front drive shaft, but not enough to keep me from wheeling. Lost my clevis pin that fits the axle mount for my suck down winch, but @clark123456 had a spare nut and bolt. Also lost a hood pin.

I may or may not have more damage. I honestly don't know.
