Great Andy thanks for helping out! Hopefully we'll get him out without any of us getting stuck as well! I know Ryan has tow points on his SB bumper.

All - let's please try and be on time today at Oggie's 12PM...looks like it's over an hour to the place when Ryan's suck.

Contact Brown Field Border Patrol Station at (619) 661-3141

And see if the Border Patrol agent that help you could assist you again


Just my 2 cent worth

P.S. lesson learned always take two jeeps, never go it alone in bad weather

For future reference... jk-forum has an IOU from the Border Patrol...

Can't wait for the pics..

All was good until I tried to go through a spot where we had to pull a Border Patrol agent out about 5 minutes earlier. I figured I'd give it a try, I had much better tires but the ruts were way too deep. I lost the U-joint end caps in my new axle.

I’m not sure if I lost them in the mud right then or if they came out earlier on the trail. Either way I had to put Eddie's plug back in and my Jeep is once again 3 wheel drive.
