Marc, it doesn't look THAT bad, bad, but not Horrendous. I moved on after the welding, so I hadn't seen it after it came out.

Here's some more pics. I even got a picture of the drunk guy asking for a inner D60 shaft, I think he should have been asking for a belt.

Wow Matt. I have never seen anyone make it up that easy in anything but a buggy. Nice climb.

Re: Rubicon 09 Aftermath

Marc Made it up on friday, before he went into the Box and broke his stuff, but it took a couple minutes, I think Marc's rig is really capable, I saw him do a LOT of stuff that I avoided in Utah. If He had new tires I think he'd be unstoppable,..... well maybe not Little sluice.

BTW, someone said something before this trip about pulling jeeps with broncos, and yes, I had a driveshaft break at Carneige, and winched to Marc to get up, and I did some breaking this last weekend, but I never got pulled by a Bronco, I did winch to a Toyota when I was stuck on a ledge with only rear wheel drive, but I pulled a dead Bronco with my jeep, and I saw the same Bronco getting pulled by another jeep from Being Vapor-locked, on this very page. When I pulled him He got it started pretty quick after that. I love ALL these Rigs, Toys and Suzukis(less than the others) Jeeps, Broncos, Full sized, chevys and Scouts too. My step son has a scout, I have scout D44s on my jeep.
My point is I don't think it matters what you run, everyone has some bad luck sometimes, some people push beyond what their rig can handle, and some people still have things that need to be worked out(replaced, repaired, set up differently,made beefier, whatever, I am on that list). And we are all out there to have fun.
I had fun, Again, sadly I didn't get to hang out with most of you. But I had fun, I will be down for a month or more, with moving, and repairs, But I hope to see you all again after that, Frank

I keep having a guy I know telling me to get 60s, how do you break that? If they break too, what is there better? I have 44s, and they aren't breakin' yet.

It's still there. Check the picture above of Bent70, he drove right over it.
