Two times in two weeks and the score is 2-0 for moab.
The carnage list goes...
2 tranny motor mount bolts sheared.
1 flop:D
1 rear drive line twisted in half
1 fire (ujoint??)
1 ujoint- front drive line
1 blown bead (during the flop)
and I smoked over a 1/4" of tread going up elephant hill in two wheel front drive only....:smokin:
:D :D

Didn't help that I was standing on it every chance I got, had to show all the showroom jeeps in my group how we really get things done. :flipoff2: The whole first day they would say "ohh look out your going hit yer _______ (insert bumpers/rockers/quarters/diff here). The second day all the would say is "LOOK OUT"! :flipoff2:


Anyone ever caught a ujoint on fire?? :eek: :eek:
Good times had by all, but mostly be me:D :D

Sounds like it was a umm... successful trip:D . I would like to see some picks of this flamming u-joint though. what size engine are you runnin??

-Jon:question:

345 my guess is that the sheared tranny mounts caused the death wobble (doing 35), that I experinced right before I smelled smoke, luckily I had a hole in the trans tunnel from the dana 20, looked down and saw flames, no pics though I was too busy putting out the fire I am going to pull the joint tonight see what she looks like....ain't seen no shit like that before...:D

ya lets see some pics,maybe I seen you down there?

I have pics of the flop, but no red star....when were down there? What trails did you run? We ran rose garden, Poision spider, Elephant hill, golden crack and gold bar but this was 2 weeks ago. You may have seen the scout parked at motel 6 while I was looking for a new drive line.....

It was easter I was down there last,not many binders.I did pritchett canyon, moab rim, cliff hanger, I know one thing that will be last time I do easter,I did labor day last year, lot more fun.

We should do a binder run this fall...I would like to get back down there after it cools off.

sounds like a plan,I'm doing 21 road in september.
