They were great to have as passengers. Definitely cool guys to wheel with and very helpful on the trails. Any chance they will send you the video they were taking? I saw them get some video on White Tail before the battery died.

Sorry guys. I had a screwed up weekend. Broke a ton of stuff that required a lot of running around to get parts. It seemed like I had everything that did'nt break. I just got caught up with work and ended up overlooking some rookie shit and I payed for it. Just gonna have to give a little more attention to detail. Oh yeah, by the way don't ride Papy's Pass unless you are in a Willy's. It is not hard by any means other than the fact it is super tight with a mountain on one side and a whole lot of not anything on the other. The rain made the hair pins switchbacks super slick. Not a fun trail to find out you busted a steering joint on the last trail. If you go off there, no one will find you in the next 20 years.

All in all I:

1.) Ejected 2 rear springs cause I forgot to put the retainers back in. (thanks Jarod for the strap)

2.) Blew out a U-joint on the short side that took the inner and outer shafts with it.

3.) Blew a hydro- assist line strait to hell.

4.) Broke hiem joint in steering.

5.) Shredded a rear driveshaft u-joint

6.) Broke 2 u joints in the tow rig.

7.) Blew a trailer tire on the gooseneck.

8.) Fought a P0234 (turbo overboost) code that kept throwing the tow rig into limp mode on the tow rig.

Like i told Cam, " I guess I'm paying my dues for not having any issues for about 4 rides in a row". The last 2 have made up for it. Just sucks to drive that far and ride 6 trails all weekend. Thanks to all that set this up, and I'll rip it all back apart and get it right for the next ride.

I have to say this year was night and day compared to last year. Me and mandy had a great time. Thanks again to all those people who helped me keep the rig moving after my break away parts broke away.

No problem. I bought the longer ratchet straps for that exact reason. I knew I would be able to rig something up as a limit strap if mine or anyone else's limit straps broke.

I have 5 more of those straps that are wayyy too long for anything that I needed, so I have plenty more of limit straps I can rig up on the trail :-)

Sorry that the weekend didn't work out as planned, but I've definitely had similar trips (my most recent trip to Rausch comes to mind) where I swear I spent most of the time fixing broken stuff.
