At the 5 second mark you see the fun slide and if you listen real close at the 42/43 second mark you can hear Zack @Truckin222 tap the wall. The damage was not as bad as it looked. If it wasn't for the broken drive shaft he would've been ready to wheel some more.

Damn Zach. Same one you just had replaced at AOP?

Yup

Same DS but broke in a different spot.

2 rides and broken front shaft 2 times...
Guess a spare might be a good idea.
It did break at a different place, I’m gonna pull it this morning to assess whether it’s repairable.

Anyway, we had a great time even with having to roll around in the mud fixing my junk.

Thanks everyone for your help, that was a shitty spot to have to get out of. Really would have had a terrible time without you guys!

All in all, repairs went smoother than I could have asked for. A spare shaft and I’d have been back together...

Can’t wait for next time!

I lost the same tire that I lost at AOP. I bounced off a pine tree & bark was wedged between the wheel and bead.  @Cannonballkev had a spring fall out but was quickly re-installed. That was the only carnage for our group of 4 Jeeps.
Thank to @Cannonballkev/ Roger for the jack/jackstand, ratchet  strap, air compressor & help @06ljrubby for his expertise/help.
We had a great time despite our trail guide's lack of seat time @ Chocco.
Cold n wet is a great description of the day. It was still awesome wheeling.

I made it up this with very little effort.

Going into Cherry Bomb. GPA just doesn't understand lol. The first few minutes of commentary is the better part of the video.

About 20 seconds after this pic, a gnarly ledge got me.  A little bound up against a tree and maybe a little too many horse pressures...snapped a front long side axle shaft.

Always seems to happen when it’s muddy too. What type of shaft did you have in there?

[Big Dave]

Broken one.
