Here jakes was having some fuel issues

http://www.trailseeker.com/gallery/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=27314&g2_serialNumber=1

Had to winch him flat, pull him forward and pop the rear diff up with the hi lift. Interesting recovery....


Overall pretty fun trip. My camera died about halfway through, but the sun did come out for an hour or so, Took a solid 7.5 hrs to get 8 vehicles through. Only breakage was a sway bar mount, one rear driveshaft u joint, one battery and some random fuel issues.

Managed to get through only winching the smaller vehicles that were close to the front of the group. As the rocks dried it got easier. Still a difficult trail, this is the first time I drove it without further body damage. The narrowing the front clip and 42"s makes it pretty nice.

Yep, Jake's passenger fender looks exactly like mine. :D

Jake, one of these days we'll actually get to hook up and wheel a trail together. Good pics! :thumbsup:

[Blue Dodge]

Jake is actually on a week long trip, we just wheeled with him Saturday, then he was going to Montrose and Moab. The axle swap did turn out awesome. I am super impressed with the the full hydro.

Ric are you still on Trailseekers? I generally email the group there. Thinking of hitting something Sunday if you are interested,
