Thanks everyone for getting me off the trail. Got all the parts and will be changing the ball joints in the morning. TJ and Justin did the best redneck engineering I’ve ever seen and got the knuckle back on good enough to get me off the trail.

Absolutely! I’m glad we were able to get you off the mountain. We had fun and it was great to see everyone. I’m so envious of everyone’s bad a$$ crawler hauler setups. Here’s the few pictures I grabbed today. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20231230/d28f5a227a79a8f6f180d5ea42f4c986.jpg)

Great couple days of wheeling. It was slick out there but it was great to see everyone. I didn’t get too many pictures. This is all I have.

Had a great time this weekend. Great to meet some new people and see a lot of familiar faces. Saturday TJ and I hit about every blue trail in the park, I had never done JW4, that’s a great trail. Did not get many pics.
After the initial sinking feeling that Kyle’s LJ was going to be a permanent fixture on that hillside, I’m really proud of everyone’s efforts jumping in and figuring out how to get him moving again and off the trail. Thanks to the other group for coming over and assisting as well. Awesome team effort.

Wow! That’s a nasty “brake”! I got there as he was coming down so didn’t see what all had happened

Yeah it was bad, but TJ and Justin saved the day getting the knuckle back on. I was already looking for a log to use as a sled, but TJ was determined to get it back on 4 wheels and it made the recovery much easier I’m sure. Sorry for wasting 3 hours of y’all’s riding time dragging my broke rig out the woods.
Made it back to Dacula Saturday afternoon. Drove 70-80 mph all the way home on the interstate after a pretty thorough test drive.
To my surprise the locker survived and not even a knick on the ring and pinion. Looks clean in the diff. Inner C didn’t bend. So a trashed axle, axle seal, and two ball joints appear to be the total damage report.

I forgot my dumb ass backed into a tree on one of the 30 trails Saturday. Time for corners!

Sounds like a post a lot of people made several years ago before changing directions with their vehicles and ditching their 4 doors...

Heck of a fun weekend! Cold as a mofo, but still a great time.
I didn’t take many pics. I’ll dig the few up and post.
Friday afternoon I had a power steering fitting on the back of the pump loosen. Got in there and fixed that. Strangely, later that night(nothing good happens on a night ride) I had a oil cooler fitting loosen up and leak on my headers. Apparently motor oil will burn if it gets hot enough because I was on it pretty hard on some obstacle and we had a little Yule Log going on. Element fire extinguisher worked like a charm. Got that fitting fixed and was able to wheel Saturday.
I will need to revisit both those fittings to see what’s up with them.

Come sit with Jay and I. We can discuss the tipping point(point of no return) with the 4dr vs something a little more nimble
Or Pat
Or John D
Or TMac
Or Jared(now in Colorado)

Definitely!
Enjoyed the trip. Just wet enough to keep it interesting. And I also suck at taking pics, but we wheeled some nastiness!
First, I should point out that have the CBR race pump and bracket in the garage and have been putting off buying the last few pieces and installing. But I also had a spare p pump on the trailer, knowing that mine wouldn’t last long.
A few of us wheeled Thursday night for several hours, then only lasted a trail or two on Friday when my steering gave out. Swapped in the spare and wheeled end of the day Friday and that one burned up too. Likely my own fault cause I didn’t fully flush the lines. Ronnie had a spare that we reused with my reservoir, flushed everything and got that one in Sat morning. Wheeled most of the day Saturday, then hopped in with Pat for the evening ride.

Beers on me, we can meet in Cancun lol. Hell of a good time this weekend!! It was really great to see everyone! Thanks to @patman @tcdawg and @Raisinhead for letting us catch a ride! Boys got the bug now. Couldn’t think of a better way to close out 2023

Your curse may have been lifted, nothing broke while you were passenger! Hopefully a much smoother ride for you than last time haha

Radio chatter: "Tony is on FIRE"
Those of us at the bottom who can't see: "Hell yea! Go Tony!!! Crawl those rocks!"

Probably the best trip I've had to AOP. Not to much damage to my Jeep except for busting the right taillight, ripping off the sway bar bracket, bending the tie rod a little bit more and normal scrapes and dents. Like Sam said we hit just about every blue trail in the park. Need to go through my camera and get some more pics but here is one of Sam with the drivers tire in the air.

Haha. He’s a little far off. I believe he will allow me to speak for him as our paths were very similar.
