well I had a blast yesterday. A big thanks to Joe and Kurt for lead and gunner duty as well as for helping reassemble my coil spring and finding a nut for my shock so I could finsh the day after my combined hill and tree climb As many of you know Joe rolled going up a ledge yesteday but he and Alex were fine and amazingly his beast of a YJ fired right up and he drove it the rest of the day minus a rear window. A great recovery by all involved and overall a fun trail ride. I dont think there was too much other carnage aside form a bunch of wood stuck in rims from the last small loop, wesley loosing a bit more of his gas tank skid which wasnt longed for the world much longer any way. A few dings and a bit less capacity on Opies tank too, but all and all I think we all went home happy to have a good day wheeling. here are some of my pics on the day.
may I check your oil sir?
this is how high I climbed the tree knocking my spring out.
A total of 60 something pics here ...

Re: Baystate "snow run" 3/6/10 pictures
Jeff kind of summed it up, it was overall a great day, with a few setbacks thrown in but we all ended up OK. Until we left. Paul was driving my XJ and pulled over when he heard some noises. Turned out those noises were a missing cap on a wheel u-joint that was replaced last week. Not sure how it happened but I'm going out on a 'limb' here and guessing it had something to do with the very last loop, when lumber worked its way into the beads on 7 of 8 tires on my TJ and XJ. Sounds crazy but all I can think is somehow the clip got dislodged, cause I put about 200 highway miles on the XJ since that joint was replaced and it was OK.
Anyway, a call to AAA and it's back home and we all good. Here's a few pics with LOTS more under the link http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/qq33 ... =slideshow

Don't worry Wes, I haven't forgotten about the gastank skid. I'll have it at the meeting on 3/20 (but it couldn't hurt to remind me via PM on 3/19)
I am the foremost authority on my opinion.

Re: Baystate "snow run" 3/6/10 pictures
lol looked at the damage for my rig and lost my sway bar (but hey it least it gives me an excuse to buy quick disconnects ) and everything i bent back into place on that gas skid went right back to where it was... but so far no leaking and everything else looks dieseljpcamb wrote: wesley loosing a bit more of his gas tank skid which wasnt longed for the world much longer any way.
