We headed back down for lunch and to see if Rich made it back from town. Rich & I worked on is rig...
[/IMG]
while Mary and Nick shot the breeze and then went and played some more in the obstacle course.
After thinking it over....
[/IMG]
and with full bling on...
[/IMG]
I decide to try the Squeeze...I mean it's a $50 Jeep and this is why I got it right? So in I go...and I promptly slide to the right and stop.
[/IMG]
I wanted the L/F tire on one rock and the R/F on the other...
This is in the not good category...can't go forward because the rear axle is up against a rock and can't good backward because the front axle slide down the front of the rock.

So Nick pulls out another toy...his strap and I hook it up.
[/IMG]
Rich gives it a try...
[/IMG]
Not a great line..and pow...shiny metal goes whizzing on pass as he greandes a u-joint on his R/F axle shaft. As Nick goes to pull out his strap, Rich calmly unlocks and backs out. No strap needed.
Ok I'll stick with frame twister and run it the opposite way this time..
[/IMG]
Rich does also in 3 -wheel drive, he's followed by a 1979 full size that hangs up...Tom hooks it up & Nick gets to use the strap a second time...
[/IMG]
OK that's it let's call it a day and head out... while airing up and taking a pee break before hitting the freeway we come across this...
[/IMG]
That red sign in the passenger door window is a for sale ad...Nick wrote down the number...but no Nick, put the strap away it's not stuck (yet).
[/IMG]
The ride home was slow and hot, Hwy 101 was blocked due to an overturn truck. Carnage was Nick's door, the Bronco's front drive shaft and R/F axle shaft, I shredded ANOTHER front axle vent hose, torn rear bumper cap and rock rash (small dent/scrape) on the L/R quarter panel.
Rich will find these on his desk at work in the morning...
