It’s all fun and games until someone breaks their knuckle off on the tee pee bypass. 

Currently trying to rig up a log ski.

Ooof! I can attest that the teepee bypass isn’t really a bypass.

Wish I was out there with y’all!

We got the Jeep to a flat spot and off the main trail.  Left it there as the log ski was not likely to make it down chicken trail and then all along forney rd to camp.  His plan is to get parts and repair it on the trail. 

Here is a short clip of us dragging with one vehicle and another in the rear with a tow strap to maneuver him around.

Really want to thank you all. I don’t have a solution yet so I’m still scrambling to figure it out. Once I get the parts, I’ll still need to find someone to go up to the Jeep and complete the repairs.

Did you get it recovered?  If so, is it fixed or on a trailer/tow truck?

we all do our parts & help each other at every event.
I just want to  mention after seeing the photo of jku knuckle snap , that on as many open rides as I can recall being on the past 2 years , @Truckin222 & @ILOVEDIRT seem to always be right there helping out whomever has rig busted.
Drew , especially seem always helping somebody on a ride.

that's part of what separates  this club from others, imho.

way to go everyone that helped out others this ride.

Yeah, Drew has helped me on and off the trail...with a smile on his face.

On the trail he basically rebuilt my engine after I flopped it at AOP last year, and he was rewarded with an oil shower when clearing the potential hydrolock situation.

Off the trail he hooked me up with Sweetwater IPA when I ran out during the CFR auction (after the oil shower).

I wouldn't be surprised if he stopped coming up GATR events ;)

Same for us on Saturday. After pops broke a bolt off in his pitman arm, Zach happened to have a pitman arm puller and Drew has air tools in his rig. Made short work of something that could have cost us most of the day.

I just always find the trouble.
I brag often about how much I like wheeling with this group and how prepared everyone is.  Always glad to  help  whenever I can as would anyone else.  At the end of the day it's the weekend and I'm in the woods.  One of these days I'll break and be calling in some favors.

Well, I didn't want to put the front end back together and then have to take it apart a few weeks later.  I'm not a 1%, so for Chocco, the third time in the same year, I figured I'd just pass on that opportunity.

This is the guy that helped. I recommend that we keep his information for the future. His shop is 15 minutes away. Besides the guys on the trail, Jeremy was a great help. Thank you to Rob and Wes also. I was able to get all the parts and Scott rode us out and we repaired it yesterday. Not sure what else got damaged but the Jeep’s computer keeps triggering the ABS. Made for a tough 3 hour trip home. Had it towed to Allsouth this morning.

@CaneJeep
if you temporarily pull the j6 fuse you will not have the ABS/ESC activating so you can drive w/out it kicking in . This only til repaired (on hiway legal req) but might be helpful. The dash alert  will stay on of course but no abs pulsing on/off .

glad you got it to safety.
