Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. I actually thought about calling you, but didn't have your cell.

Roger, I should have just taken you up on the initial offer. I thought we were way less stuck than we were. Salinas River apparently is well know for its quicksand... . Well know to everyone but me apparently.

Coy, thanks for the offer, I've got your cell now and will give you a call if I ever really need help.

Also, thanks for the offer. You guys are great. I'm gonna start a Cen/Nor-Cal emergency number thread sometime soon.

As it turned out, I called a girl that I met on the Rubicon this weekend and she showed up with a TJ with a 6" lift and 37's. Winched both me and my dad's borrowed Tahoe out of there no problem. No offense to all you guys, but she definitely had you all beat in the looks category . I'll post a new thread with the whole story and pictures.

But the real question is ... would she want to chance it and come out in the middle of night on a rescue ...
Glad to see you managed to get out

I was pretty suprised that she showed up, definitely saved my ass.

Also, some questions for all:

The JK was up to the frame in water and silt for 8 or 9 hours. What needs to be flushed, drained, lubed, replaced, etc. etc. ?? Diff oil, tranny oil, probably? Anything else?

Also, I tore my driveshaft boot on the 'Con last weekend, and it was sitting in water. Is that a problem? Do I need to fix the boot?

we will go threw each one and make sure its not contaminated. The few hundred is worse case. Diff oil is 9.00 a qt X4. ATF 35 bucks, motor oil 35 bucks plus filters, and transfer case oil 40 bucks. Thats all synthetic. could be cheaper useing convintional oil
