I broke. Wrung a axle off in the front diff and it disintegrated the other half in the front diff. Pull the center section and it broke the bearing cap also. Larry got it on video still made it up the rock though.

I broke as well, on the way home..
All that noise which I thought was CV clicks, turned out to be a weakening U-Joint.
It broke in half at about 70mph on I-85, the tranny mount kept it in place to where I could get over to a rest stop to take it out. No real carnage, just a break.

Wow, I want to see pictures. How is the scenery?
These are pictures that my girlfriend took, not all but the only 55 I could stay awake to upload. I didn't go up Daniel pass or the harder trails this morning/late afternoon, I was too pansy about body damage. I think there's a lot more pictures to come.
Ask burns to tell you about his new 'reverse trick'

Here are a few carnage pics of my mishap.
Going to cost about $100 in parts to fix the ARB. Going to give it one more try and if it breaks again its getting a d44.

Ouch!! Hate to see that.
I'm glad my damage was limited to chunked up tires and new pinstripes.
Nice pics. Looks like you guys had a good time. Here are the pics I got.

I chunked up my tires pretty good too! Too bad we didn't meet up on the trail. Would've been noce to wheel with another Ranger! Maybe next time.
I'll get my pics up later.

We didn't take many pictures... were shooting video most of the time. Tripp is working on editing them and will post a link.
Here's the pictures we took:
Group shoot on Poser Rock:
Just above the Daniel ledge:
Scouting the Daniel hill climb:
I always try to park where it's easy for me to get out and difficult for my passenger

Were home. We decided to leave on monday instead of tuesday morning. We left around 5 and got home about 130 this morning. It was a very good trip. I enjoyed meeting everyone and getting to wheel with a great group of people.
