Dropped the tranny pan and replaced the filter. What a ******* mess without a drain plug. Drained front and rear diff. Found water in the rear due to Ice breaking at Buck Island last weekend. Had to reseat the front spring and straighten out the tie rod and drag link. That's all

I was just thinking about how cool it would be to run out to Buck Island since there's no snow. Looks like a great time.

I was going to PM you about it, but once I saw your Jeep gettin finished I figured you couldn't go.

I thought I was hard on my shit! Your Jeep build shop plans are officially a matter of necessity... I think you should include a parts department so you can have all the stuff to fix your shit on hand all the time...


Great video... Best entertainment I've had all year! Loved the first part when the Ice broke ... that had to be intense from the drivers perspective...

Good job getting through that mess ... without going for a swim I mean...

Yep it was fun but was not our crowning moment as shit turned bad real quick after pulling this stunt. Ice vs Metal and ice won.

Sorry Craig. As Jeff stated, we assumed that your rig was fully out of commission from the re-build and did not thing anyone would be up to trying the Rubicon in one day on a Friday. I'll never do a one day trip again and we only had the 3 of us. We figured anything more that 3 or 4 and it would have never been a thought to attempt it. We had no intention of it being a secret mission. :bawling:

I was hoping it was that and not the fact that I like to take it a little slower than you crazy f-ers.

The way you went up the gate-keeper, I would say you keep up with the same speed as these guys

Cliffs notes. A couple of people where they should not have been without the equipment or the survival materials with the that were lucky the crew came by when they did or the outcome would not have been good.

so living in Arizona has made me a little homesick for CA. As a little homage to my home state I got some stickers made up.

Also I found out what was making that horrible squeal in the rear oh a destroyed bearing/seal

And finally I solved my drive line vibration problem (didn't want to be the next Stacy).

Side note, I HAD to get the walker Evans since the spyntecs change the bolt pattern!

Missing wheeling in CA,
Gabe

 

[Sludge Puppy]

Gabe, we wish you guys were still around! Love the stickers, and the WE's are awesome! (Seal looks like it hurt)

Installed my new front bumper and winch as well as Cobra CB.
