Dude thats terrible im sorry. Doesnt sound like your typical theft though... you think they would go for stuff inside the house not your garage
 
Well I mean I'm over being angry about it, by garage I mean 10x10 shed with barn doors, all they left was my arc machine bench grinder and the bench but only cause there all bolted down they kicked in a leg. it not attached probaly why they hit it. Thankfuly 99% of my hand tools and such were in my truck with me. There has been alot of tool and 4x4s stolen in my area lately. Guess it's time to ground the latch and hook up my e fence to it, maybe wire the windows too.live and learn is it Friday yet lol
 
well im hheading to the con, thanks for the spares jon! and remeber your trucks knows when you have the opportunity to wheel and you dont, wouldnt want it to do something bad to you for trail neglect lol
 
your welcome man!
thats a nice pile of 3 inners and 2 outers from a dana 30!
good luck and i hope you dont need to use them!
 
89 xj heep im so sorry to hear you lost your box and got stuck.
its one of those things that happens and we all take chances when we run 35's , a locked front, and dont thoroughly brace the inner and outer frame rails around the box. but dont get mad at sean. he would have helped if the information was better.
sean is a really good guy.
hearing some random drunk guy in a yota say that some guy that knows you , and is broken down, on a crazy busy weekend out there, is hard to follow, especially if youre afraid of breaking down and getting stuck all by yourself.
also, if he is low on gas and doesnt know where you are is a little scary on his part as well. i know he himself lost a front shaft.
im just trying to get seans back and say he is a good guy and no hard feelings.
the only recomendation is next time ride up in his group so you are altogether.
and bring some spare steel and invest in an on board welder!

i wasnt pissed so much at the being broken alone as to what i heard rigs coming out say, true or false, at the moment it was pretty shitty, sean when you go up in two weekends talk to steven culp, he will be doing hte count, same guy as this weekend, he was right next to me when the rigs came through saying this, im not trying to stir shit, just another person that was there, so you atleast know im not exaggerating/crazy.
 
this guy???

yeah he never said anything on my way out, i even stopped for 10 minutes to chat with him and got a few spill kits since i used all mine helping dude with his Atlas saturday night.
 
Yea, I wasn't there, but seans a great guy. He has always been there when someones busted down including myself. Role with us a few times and you'll realize that were a family around here. Next time go wit a friend. Come out to sierrafest and you'll see
 
sean when did you bust a shaft. We left spider not to long after you and didn't catch up to you...? 89 did you guys get out ok with your poping boxes? No breakages on my end

oh yea, it was literally better then new when i was done with plating it, but by the time i had gotten it all plated and beefed it was already 6pm, i was already drunk and there was alot of traffic comin out, so i posted up there, ran wentworth in early early am sunday

mmmm ready welders sure do get it though it cracked th frame clear across the bottom between the two bolts, and the bottom bolt closest to the rear pulled through the frame before it broke, cracking in all directions, i plated the bottom, on and over hte crack after i welded and ground the actual crack, then just drilled that plate for the bolt and welded her up, i must say i probaly looked pretty gangster wearing 2 pairs of my gfs pink glasses over mine for a mask lol

i broke right after i met up with Ryan and his crew... you were pretty far behind us cause we sat at the bowl for at least an hour then i left, cruised to the bottom and snapped a drivers side ujoint and detroyed the shaft with it...of course it was the side that i did'nt weld thje caps on.
