"Just thought I'd post that I plan to hit Prairie City for a few hours on Saturday, in case anyone else is in the area. Sometime mid-morning most likely."
--------------------------------------------------------
Well I did make it to PC on Sunday. Not a lot there but good for testing things out. Mostly just a big pit w/a "trail" that runs around the perimeter of the 4x4 area. Rest of the park is for ATVs and motorcycles. Anyway, the Bronco did well but I realized I've got some slop in the front driveshaft CV joint. Time for a rebuild I guess.
I also realized I need a tow rig!!! I drove up to Truckee afterwards to pic up an engine and rollbar from a guy and about 25 miles from home got a wicked vibration, thought I busted an axle or driveshaft, but it was the rear wheel. The wheel lugs must of been stripped and allowed the lug nuts to back out and then hogged out all the holes on the wheel. Almost lost the tire on the hwy at 60!
Of course no spare tire with me and no spare lugs besides so the free engine and $20 rollbar ended up costing me over $100 in gas and a taxi home. Got her fixed today and home safe. Here are pics of PC and of the damaged tire.
