It was definitely not fun! The thing that sucked is that we ran all day and had an amazing time. It was the last trail and we were literally 50 yards from freedom when the U Joint exploded. Then I forgot that I had the front locker still engaged and that toasted the axle shafts. Lesson learned!!

Speaking of lockers, I almost engaged my rear by accident on Owls Nest this morning! Luckily I keep the air off as a dual safety. Didn't hit the switch but was pretty terrified for a second

Is that why I have seen people put spot welds on the u-joints?

I don't understand how he can gate a road that he doesn't own? And seriously!! Red cloud and Shoecreek in the same day?! What in the world is going on? How does a clearing weekend in April look with you Stu? I should be past 500 miles and able to beat the piss out of those gears
