Baystate Jeepers

Good first day. Only a broken axle shaft, popped out tcase linkage, dead water pump, broken shock, and a jammed up universal joint (don't ask). Lots and lots of rain, but we survived!

Oh boy! Keep dry...

Nice Pics! I hope that wasnt all one jeep!

Nope! Today was a bit worse...

This breaking...


Transferred the torque to this...


Which lead to this...


Curtis also broke his u bolt plates which lead to everyone watching...


It took a while...

Ryan - Did this happen on the rock garden?

dammmmmmmnnnnnn................... so your rear DS gets Dairy Queen'd, sending all the pent up torque to your front lockah and your ring gear says no F'n way and holy crap Ryan that bites!

Still wish I was there ! FjR68

Curtis : The spring plates you broke weren't the ones you called Pontoons or something like that ? The new ones ? Ryman : That _LOWS ! See you guys brought a lift . Good thinking. Way into the night ? Hope things dry out for you guys. FjR68

Nope Frank, he put pontoons on the front. The rears are stock which got folded quite well on the leading edge. His spring perches curled a bit which required some creative welding of scrap metal (along with trying to salvage the u-bolts and replacement of a center pin)

When did you guys get back? How did Ryan make it home?

Hey Curtis, Kurt its Miguel, was there next to you guys in the 2 place enclosed trailer, it was surprising to see you guys there Saturday morning.
Kurt thanks for the coffee this morning helped get me going. It was nice to see some familiar faces out there. Looks like you guys had some good times, other then the rain that is!

A few additional pics...



















Some of the carnage























A BIG Black Racer Snake we came across yestderday

And of special note, the last two carnage pics are on the *same* rock.

Great pics, hope everyone made it home safe.

How did Ryan get home, just looked really bad from his photos?
