Beasley Ride: December 1st

[Raisinhead]

I'll be moving today...lucky bastards. Haha. Take a few pics

Just got home after a longish day.  4 rigs in attendance: besides myself, ScottF in a built Toyota truggy, Tex176 in a wrangler, and jkDave in a jk (duh).  No issues until late afternoon when we went to try 93B.  Dave elected to park his Jeep and ride with Tex.  The bad news was Tex breaking a rear driveshaft about a 3rd of the way up; the good news was that the break was right next to a bypass trail.  We were able to winch him onto the bypass so that he could head downhill in front wheel drive.

Scott and I proceeded to the top without further damage other than me snapping off my CB antenna somehow.  New coilovers worked well.

Sorry for the showing up.  I had a work "redirect" and could not go.  I was really looking to get out and wheel.

Had a good time out there yesterday, good meeting everyone. Didn't scare the wife too much not to go with me again so I guess that makes it a success.

Only downside of the day was Dallas breaking his rear driveshaft. No rock contact, the u-joint just let go.

Here are some cell phone pics:

I'm taking pictures of the driveshaft in a few ill post up. But it clearly gave out in the ujoints causing the damage to the driveshaft. It seemed the census was it was a defect in the ujoints. I'm going to reach out to teraflex on this one.

No problem on the guidance from the passenger side seat.  It was a pleasure meeting you guys so I decided to join up here.  Thanks to Kvom for the always fun trip, hope you like the new coilovers.
