[QUOTE="Gibby1, post: 1168470, member: 15983"] We still had to drag Buster back with front wheel drive only. There were several groups that had been stuck along mainline that day, sliding off the maintrail. Well you all know what what does. It just sucks your rig right off the trail into the soft stuff where the last guy was. We had to pull cable a couple more time to get everyone back to the campground. We found multiple spots where trucks had slid off he mainline and even the 9 road into the ditch, that we didn't see when we'd headed out that morning. So, I get back to the trailer and I'm over heating... strange. I have low batteries without much time to recharge, I'm very close to over heating, snowgoon is with me and we need to air up his trail rig and the flat tire on my trailer. He's going to let JR use his trailer and follow in his trail rig - he's street legal but was at 3 lbs in his tires. I'd turned my truck off to let it cool while we're moving things around, and then NOTHING when I tried to start it. We tried jumping, NOTHING so I figured that my starter got toasted in the water. With some creative use of jumper cables we got all the tires inflated and my rig winched up and secured on the trailer, about an hour or more later... Meanwhile, back at the ranch, JR was sitting in his rig playing a DS waiting for us to get back to haul him home. It was a lot of fun with a great group of people :awesomework: , but not a lot of wheeling :mad: When I got home, I threw the charger on the get the batteries back up to snuff and just for fun, tried to start it. It fired right up... Something's awry with my starter as it always seems to have problems when the engine is hot. Sure enough my coolant was low and I'd just topped it up before heading out. I'm going to have to replace my overflow bottle with a recirculating system. Markus just did his and I think it'll solve the problem of coolant just spilling out when it's running warm. The engine is FULL of muddy junk. I think I'll take it into Crash to have him fix something. This would be just about the right time and it get's the best cleaning job that way:cheer: [/QUOTE]
