Fun day on the trails today. Thanks to Rob for letting ride shotgun.
Someone today conquered boat ramp for the first time.
We hit almost the whole park so I didn’t take too many pictures. Here is what I have.

Enjoyed the trip! We had a few less than optimal breaks, but I’ll let them share. Like John, camera didn’t get out much.
These kiddos were awesome!

Looks like that Dana 30 diff cover proved it’s mettle this weekend!

Mettle:
a person's ability to cope well with difficulties or to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way.
"the team showed their true mettle in the second half"

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.

Chuck, I think there may be a permission issue with the video. It won’t play...

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

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.

Hahaha

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?

Broken one.

We had a good time but had to cut it short and as usual I was watching and not taking pictures. Thanks Big Dave, Kevin and Rodger

Those shafts could literally be 40 years old. Stock Ford 60 shafts.
99% sure I’ll replace w Chromo Yukon’s. RCV’s are just ridiculously priced

My son and I had a great time! Jay thanks so much for climbing up the hill to help me! I was sure we were about to die😂😂

It was great getting to meet all you guys this weekend! I had a blast and will definitely be coming back. Thanks for all the patience when I got stuck and needed a winch out. A new gear housing for my winch will be on order later today.
Also, that RuffStuff cover was definitely worth its weight in gold.
