Bad time breakages or what?

Did you go with kevin?!

What did you break?

 

[CAJJ93XJ]

I didn't break anything, like an idiot I went without a spare tire and on top of that I was running a tire that was already plugged. well the plug came out and I and Chris D plugged it like 3 times after that. It just kept coming out. very frustrating

yeah Kevin was out there I kinda left my group and joined up with him. Great group of wheelers. Jeepinseal, norcalchris, and a couple others I don't think are on the forum. other than that, jeep did pretty well. I wouldn't trade that trip for the world it was awesome, but Fordyce is just closer if I get into trouble

did you guys see pics of the flash flood that hit us on Cadillac hill yet?

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Flash flood on cadillac? No way

I had 2 more Fordyce trips after that one. my tires aren't really holding air anymore I'm thinking sticky treps. I broke the hi steer studs and ripped the arm off that was fun..





and on that upper playground above committee in that crevice I broke the rear driveline, bent both leaf springs, clapped steering box, dented the trans pan, and have some bad clunks coming from the D60 (already ordered full king pin rebuilds wheel bearings). I was giving it hell, pictures never do it justice

theres a 5 foot ledge below this spot where I broke my everything

You'll stop breaking stuff with stickies. I don't even know how to drive.

I'll get treps at racer prices or some used ones off the u4 .!....!.
