He's in Harlan right now, broke the pin in his mini-spool on a waterfall the first day. Nothing from what he's told me today so far. :thumb: I'm sure he'll post the hell out of some pics when he gets back.

Yep first day about 3 hours in i blew out the cross pin in the 9"......Broke it in like 4 pieces rumping on it. Thankfully about two hours before we left on Last tues i welded up another carrier i had and packed it along. About an hour i had it fixed and wheeling again. This was Thurs.

Friday i had no real problems. I had developed a PS leak at an o-ring on the line at the pump, but an occasional top off kept that problem at bay.

Saturday we were playing and i started to spit a cap, but caught it before it munched a shaft. So got a spare ujoint installed on the trail and kept on rocking. Later saturday on the way back down the mountain i sudden;y couldn't turn left. The plate i welded to my frame for the trac bar mount began tearing off the frame and was taking the frame with it. So two rachet straps and my winch cable placed just right got it held in place so i could drive down the mountian.

It rained the entire time so every trail up the mountain was a waterfall, and every switchback was a greasy slip and slide.

Now for the pics

Fixing the 9"

Looks like a good time. I toasted a mini spool the first time I had it out too. I went with a Strange full spool & never had a problem again.
