Baystate Jeepers

Breakage, rain, and Snakes on a Mother-F#@$%&G Trail.

I always miss the good trips. Glad you had fun though!

My photos are up on facebook. You should be able to get to them from this link

Had a great time with everyone. Glad to come out with no carnage, but time to start thinking seriously about more spare parts.

I left the night before everyone else did, but Ryan had already pulled out his carrier and inner shafts and put it back together with the outer shaft stubs. I think he replaced the rear driveshaft with a spare drove it home like that.

Thanks to Kurt and John, Curtis was wheeling blue and black trails the day after his rear axle rolled leaving the pinion pointing up to the sky. I think he lost some of the shims they welded under one of his spring perches, but it was driving again.

Miguel, nice to see you again as well.

The trip was awesome, even in the rain. We had a great crew and were able to fix (enought to get everyone home) all trail damage. A shout out goes to Jay/Marky and Kurt for making it through 3 hard days of wheeling with no carnage to speak of.

On the way home I had a blowout (front passenger), check this out...


I have additional photos and videos here: http://s1090.photobucket.com/albums/i36 ... ay%202011/

Ouch... Glad to hear everyone made it back OK!

What the F!!!!! That must have fun on the highway, glad to see you're all right!

Yah, it could have been pretty bad if there was someone to my right. Luckly there was no one around me and things turned out OK. I did all I could to keep the wheel from moving but it still did... severely!

Damn Curtis. Glad to hear you're alright! How is it that happened to you on the street but that didn't happen to me after my floating levitation hop over the rocks?

Wow, Tremont is under a tornado warning right now, hitting between mile marker 102 and 131. Glad we're not still there.

I thought I saw you appear in the far right lane awfully quick! Fortunately traffic was "light" for a 6-lane highway!

Jay - great pics! I'm gonna stea.......... LIBERATE.... some pics for Tracks

Curtis, I would have just plugged it.

Wow looks like...fun...I do see a beer so that's good. Beer is of course is the cause, and SOLUTION to all of life's problems.

And watch out for that little blue shaky thing ! FjR68
