Thanks for all the pics and reports, wish I could have made it. Glad to hear carnage was minimal.

A great weekend it was indeed...good to meet new peeps from the forum and see familiar faces. Thanks to everyone who posted pictures. I was delinquent in that department. Thanks to Rick, Jim, Jackie and everyone else who helped coordinate

well rick im not with you anymore with "breaking" parts ... seems somehow the inner hub gear got shoved out so hard it blew the snap ring out on the hub center ( not entirely needed to function just keeps it nice and tidy) and cocked the gear the millimeter i can to be wedged in a 98% open position hence it barely caught the edge of one tooth. i could have probably got it to work by kicking it but it came out when i took the cap off so i went back to my old spicer hubs ( default to lock) and everything seems all good to go again

So I been pretty busy and am just now getting around to sharing my pics from last weekend. First off, thank you to everyone who helped put it together. We had a great time, learned a couple things about the new rig and got a little more feel for it, and got to finally put some more faces to rigs. I didn't get nearly as many pictures as I normally would, I was focused more on listening to and feeling the truck. I do have some videos I still need to upload to youtube as well, including believe it or not, poor Rick's booboo on the wall. I'll get those posted as soon as I can also but for now, here's some pics.









I threatened to spray paint "honey badger" on the side of this Bronco. I didn't get a chance to meet the driver, but that thing was going up that wall at all costs, he didn't give a s**t!! You'll see what I mean whenever I can get to the videos. BTW driver, I admire the persistence!!















Met some new people, met up with some we already knew, got on a trail with altitude, bounced around a bit, ate a great lunch, bounced around a bit more and made it home with the truck in one piece. Does it get any better????

Took WAAAAAYYY longer than expected and I apologize, and I still have a couple more vids to mess with and get loaded, but FINALLY, video of Rick blowing out his hubs on the wall. Listen close and you can even hear it!! When Leila refers to "the Dodges today" that was only because Moose lifted a rear tire on the rock garden and it looked FAR worse from her angle than ours.
