Post by: Wingman on April 28, 2018, 07:23:42 AM: Rained until 11a, tightened loose front output bolts on the Big Dumb Cherokee, then ran Wahoo. Willys got a burnt fan relay swapped out, then we started Pennsyltuckian. The Rubicon broke both inner and outer shafts. Return to camp seemed appropriate :-) .

The Rubicon got repaired and we played on the Big Rocks before heading in for dinner. A night run out on Trickle was started after a rain shower. On our way back, a torrential downpour with some hail soaked everyone.

Not the most stellar of days but still good times!

Post by: Wingman on April 29, 2018, 06:52:44 PM: Saturday, we headed for some of the hard trails. KGB and Insanity uphill are good trails that challenged everyone. After that, we headed out to Pennsyltuckian where Caleb broke the rear yoke on his rear driveshaft which also sheared a bolt in the pinion yoke. While that recovery was being handled by Reid, Hannah was trying a difficult line and unwittingly damaged the rear yoke of Harryâ€™s Cherokee and that caused a u-joint cap to vacate. Harry repaired it and once everyone was on the main road, we ambled back to camp. Dinner was cooked and a nice warm campfire helped warm us on this cool and breezy evening.

Another great day of wheelin!
