[QUOTE="fordcontraption01, post: 686172, member: 2205"] Sounds like my trips to Tackett creek. I have pulled my gooseneck trailer all the way back to where the big ditch is or where there was a bridge and they tore it out. Unhooked from it and drove the tow rig back up to the main road going to the look off to get my 79 which was broken in the middle of the road. This was another trip we took on New Year’s Eve. We wheeled our usual up there and there was this pretty much a bottomless pond. We would mud in it . Brian was with us in a big huge Rockwell ranger with a diesel 4 banger in it which was a great crawler rig but didn’t have any business in the pond because it was lacking whoomp pow. Anyway he goes in and sinks way up over the 44 boggers and it just wont do it so I hook to him in reverse for me and I’m backing up pulling him out and then boom front driveline punches a hole through my floor between my feet. I’m like what the hell is going on here. My rockwells were set up as radious arm and my tubbing bent under all pressure from reverse so my rockwell was pointing down. Any how we pulled the driveline and I drove the rest of the day in 2 wd we went to the sand caves and met some other people and they were asking what happened I told them. One of them had a battery welder setup and was like I can weld that back together for you I said no don’t worry about it. This is where I should have said please weld that back up for me. They left we stayed and bullshited by a fire for awhile it was damn cold too. I made the mistake of not dissconecting my front brake line so we get out of the caves and are heading back down the main road.
