Very cool! So no breakage on the xj during the trip?
You read too much into my post
The Rough Country frame mount track bar bracket snapped in half.
When I first got there, and was out in the river bed just playing around (when we were by ourselves), the xj puked out a drive slug.
I noticed that one side wasn't pulling, and it was steering WAY to easy. We wen't back looking around, and found it. Then a couple girls and their friend in a pretty cool JK came up, and helped us find the c-clip, so that went back together pretty quickly. I'll mark that one up to the prayer my daughter said to help us find it. I had to do an emergency ball joint the night before I left, so I guess I just didn't seat the c-clip n good when I was in a hurry.
I also broke Moose's Toyota
at night
So I have yet to get any sleep since the 4 hours I got night before last
I had no idea that Toyotas were so feable
How was I supposed to know that they don't like to stand up on their front wheels, coming off really big shear ledges (It has no headlights, I've never driven a anything with a doubler before, so I'm doing like .02 miles/hr, and had no idea what line all the other rigs (including the ones on 40s) took
It was a pretty interesting ride coming off the ledge, then realizing it is in the lowest gear. Front end went off and just kind of stopped while the rear was deciding it wasn't quite ready to stop yet
Last minute clutch let it roll out of it, but it sheered all the bolts off the steering knuckle (full hydro steering).
So the f250 ended up getting a little offroad time, with trailer in tow, going out to load it up.
Yeah, I feel pretty bad about that, but Moose couldn't have been cooler about it.
