ya bummer, you missed a good day of wheel'n

and missed me being denied up the entrance of the RRR trail, at least thats what I think it is now:eeek: and you missed some axle breakage, front and back huh Phil:swing: but as usual he made it back to his trailer under his own power::bananallama:

Yup... Was an awesome day!

Broke a rear short axle, And a short front axle/birf(I'm guessing), and lost my brakes(didn't bleed the system after my rear axle swap), and lost a front t-case mount(bolt fell out... Repaired it with a 17mm socket with a bolt through it) ....

All that... And still made it back to the trailer un-assisted!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! ;-) if I ran the sammi 'easy' all the time... I'm sure I'd break less... But that's just not the way I like to wheel apparently...

I got video of you getting DENIED at the RRR entrance... I'll post that for you cause I'm such a nice guy... I know you wanna see it from my point of view... Lol...

Yea... Dudes jeep is pretty awesome! Very well set up and super capable!

I got a few pics and vids... I'll get em posted up tomorrow... I love this hobby!

Sammi isn't equipped to handle this snow/incline-decline stuff yet... So I'll just film for now...

The RRR is getting really rutted out... I got denied entry the last two times... And I was down to 3 wheel drive at this point... So I didn't even attempt it after watching oneshot fight it like this...

Yup... Was going to originally post it without this sites [YT][/YT] links... Then added them... Saw that it made my links invisible, so I went back and removed the brackets... And now it's fine... Dunno why that is... Perhaps it's the 'type' of YouTube links I'm putting between the brackets... Maybe I need to figure out 'how much' of the link needs to be In-between there...

zukkev · Mar 24, 2013

You're close---I could see the white box before you removed the brackets!! :redneck: :haha:

Had a good time up there! The sun felt good and met some cool wheelers, Doug and Phil and Phil's daughter. We'll have to do it again soon, maybe Liberty when it opens! Thanks Mark! :hi:

Not a good place to break stuff...

FireballXL5 · Mar 26, 2013

I've got plenty of spare sammi parts...

I'm needing some upgrade parts eventually...

I'm still unclear as to 'where' you guys are talking about...

And even if I were to upgrade to yota axles... I have no misconceptions about it curing my 'breaking stuff' problems.. All it's gonna do is turn it's attention to elsewhere on the rig... But... I think that's just my style of driving showing up... I think, no matter what I had... I'm gonna thrash my stuff... I'll do my best to prevent problems(as much as I am able)... Repair on the trail as fast as I can... Or limp back to the trailer under my own power...

I mean hey... How much fun would I be to wheel with if I always took the safe route... Or always took the side trails around obstacles... Or winched every time my tires lost traction... I would rather switch gears and pin the throttle.. Just to see what happens!! I wanna go everywhere I can... And even places I can't!
