[InfantryYJ]

Last call,....less than a week away. I'll either get there Thursday evening or Friday noonish.

 

[jeeperjohn]

How many people from here are going?

 

[InfantryYJ]

Looks like possibly just three of us from here.

I'll probably get there around noonish tomorrow, I'm leaving first thing in the morning.

I'm back!!,.....and it finally happened,....after two years of wheeling 37's, the D30 finally blew a u-joint and shaft,....not so bad, so I replaced those Friday night, get up Saturday morning and go down the trail on the side of Cable Hill,....sliding just about all the way(really, really, slick), get to the bottom and have to come up a ditch, no worky out of the front wheels

, the front driveshaft is turning, but the wheels ain't, so I get yanked out, get back to the top of the hill, pull the diff cover, and the center pin is broken, (

, sorta but not really), asked around a few people, but alas, no spare center pins for that huge D30

So I strap it to the trailer and lend a hand to Mike and his Huntsville pit crew.

I arrived at about 1400 on Friday, got an hour delay for an accident on the interstate, anyway, the entrance hill is pretty slick and the P/S didn't make it with the Jeep on the trailer, so I back down, and the trailer digs in, can't go back, can't go forward,...unload the Jeep, and get the truck up the hill(should be a fun weekend). Anyway, find me a nice spot to park the trailer and hitch a ride to get the jeep. A little bit later, some people arrive, and I tag along with them.

I only got to do a couple of trails, one was called GrayRock Canyon or something like that, that was pretty easy, I broke in some mud hole, didn't get the name of the trail, but the mudhole was mighty deep and clay-slippery. Saturday morning there were flurries in the air, cloudy and cold.

Mike and his pit crew, he had finished up the loose ends of extending his wheelbase right there.

A couple of vehicles:

Hey Rich, I remember Mike and his crew from Monteagle. Do you have any contact info for him, they were a blast to wheel with.

Sounds like you had a little fun any how, sorry to hear about you breakage. Maybe we will see you in Uwharrie this spring?

 

[elusive]

your pics suck.
no wheeling pics?
your pics suck.
here is what a trip report pic should resemble...

 

[z50k2]

Rich, How was the wheeling??? Did you run "whisky springs"? Didnt' we run that last time we were there? How was the tuging contest?
See what happens when I'm not there to slow you down...
Mike called Casey Friday night and said they spent all night finishing the jeep and something about driveshaft problems...Did his jeep work well?
MORE PICS!!!!!!!!!

Ricky...seeya...
BTW. Tell Theresa thanks for the weekend fun..

 

[InfantryYJ]

Ricky, the only trailname that I know I did was that Gray Rock Canyon thingy. I only got a couple in before my mishap.

Mike brought that whole crew and they were working, they broke out the welder, compressor and generator to work it all, Mike made his driveshaft Saturday morning. He was using some 39.5 Boggers for the rear that he borrowed, they were on hummer rims, he went out for a test run and crushed in his rear panels,....because of the backspacing.

I didn't stay for the tugging contest,...I left Saturday evening. From what I saw, the wheelin' looked fun,....slick kinda fun.

Aaron,...go to JeepinAmerica.com and you should be able to pull his email address.

Chris, unfortunately, I didn't have anybody to take happysnaps of me.

Here's your "more pics" This is a guy that I was following

And my little breakage:

The pinion got a wee bit banged up, but not too bad. I got the stock spider's back in this morning and all seems to be working well.

And who said Liberty's were useless
