We did crackhead this afternoon and it was less slick than razor back. That being said, we still winched in 3 different spots.  That side is a bit drier. Trail 16 was fun and more washed out that last time. 

New hub worked great on crackhead.

Here were the remains of my destroyed hub.

Cannonball Kevin turned his tie rod into a smiley face after losing a tire bead.
We left out @ 2 to get parts, tire inflated, food, ice & just got done. He was needing a alignment before this trip anyway.

I haven’t taken many pics. Too much time spent on recovery/winching.  It’s sloppy on the trails.  Torrential rain Fri morning and it poured last night as well.

I got a 4 inch gash in my side wall & had no idea it was flat. Drove it out fine. We finally found a flat area to change it out with Jason's spare.
Big thanks to him for leading us & for me borrorowing his spare (it WAS so clean). Thanks to Scott for actually putting it on & Sam (Grass Janitilor) for tools & moral support.
Had a blast. Great food tonight too. Thanks to all who put in effort to make this a awesome weekend despite the weather.

I broke the entire three link bracket off of the axle my zuk on crackhead there once. Had to get hoisted back to the trailer by a 5 ton with a crane arm on it. I feel your pain.

I got no pictures of wheeling. Turned into a pretty decent day on the rocks though. Just had to stay on lighter trails since everything was so slippery

Good trip!  “ Maul Krauwler” performed well for the first time on the rocks.
  Thursday- kissed a rock and put a big dent in my door.  Dave was spotting. Ha ha
  Friday- popped a bead and while backing down I bent my tie rod. Ran into town and bought a new one and got tire put back on rim in same trip
  Saturday- transmission cooler line split, dumping all my tranny fluid.  Another trip to town to get new clamps ( Jeff had an extra hose)
  Thanks Big Dave for running me into town twice.
Good ride, good food. Good people!

He beat me to it LOL

Causing yet more intimidation from my Jeep.

I've thought about it but I'd rather the tube fender push off of a tree than the hood.  Plus, it's still my DD so it's driven in the rain.

Had a issue with my stock front driveshaft clearance, those who rode with me could hear it, so I drove in 2wd as much as I could, thanks to everybody who helped me find the issue. I guess the little bit of height increase in the front was just enough to make it bind.

Here it is installed
