Don't have the cord to my camera so no pictures till I get it back.
Digging the pics Al, we just need someone to get some of you for your website. And I tell you bro, you did some nice and (<-spotting Al style ) last night. Good wheeling with you. Next time my pile should be a F-toy
Just to clear up the carnage I broke the lower link arm and put the hi lift handle in it and tore the upper link mount off and welded it back on.cheers to all I had a blast thanks
After a five hour nap, here is a recap of the trip. Everyone met on the lakebed as planned just before 8. LoseKannon, Wheeler Peeler, Dizzydevil, Krawler 76 and Rock Hound (I am missing about 4 more rigs from this group ) and the Redlands group split up. We figured 12 to 14 rigs on one trail at night was a bit much. We did Wrecking Ball, LooseKannon and company did Outlimits. The one thing I forgot to bring on the trip was my camera. We started the trail around 8:30 p.m. and finally made it back to the lakebed at 5 a.m. The trail was tough, but the one thing that held us up, Howard's 4 Runner. The first carnage, while high centered, his fan on the 350 made contact with the radiator. After a lot of creative work, some stop leak and a LONG time it was fixed. Then on the last big waterfall he broke a front hub. Getting that piggy 4 Runner up that waterfall in three wheel drive was a challenge We had a great time. We are all definately better spotters after following the Zukizzy spotting method of "Driver" & "Passenger" I can't wait for the next run, next time I'll remember the camera.
Any breakage in Mrs. Izzy's rig is probably my fault. About 50 yards from the top of Wrecking Ball is a nasty notch that everyone had trouble with. Body damage was certain. The average time through this spot for the first four rigs was easily 10 to 15 minutes each. Then Zukizzy, our tailgunner was up. He was slowly crawling up to the notch when the call "30 SECONDS" was yelled out. In true rock crawling competition style, that Jeep was through the obstacle in about 29 seconds.
I just got off the phone with Howard and the carnage continues. Apparently that waterfall also took out his front Detroit locker. Anyone have an old Dana 44 30 spline "392 and up" Detroit for sale. Howard may not be ready, but I am up for another Hammer run.
I know of an old style ARB for cheap 392 and up 30 spline. Or a lock right but that is not howards style.wayne
Hey Wayne,Didn't the wife tell you not to break her car?
He wants a Detroit but we found out the part that is broken is only $160. When is the September Cougar Buttes Pro Rock event again? Maybe we can do another night run that weekend.
