Damn! I left too soon! What happened to Jerry's car?

Spindle broke.  Had been broke for a long time just was time for it to finish coming apart.  Time to take our spindle's off and have them maged. 

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Was he able to drive it out? It looks like the car may be leaning too much to do so?

but something else also, isn't an American at all.  We have room for but one
flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people."

Yep drove it out was the easy part, getting it in the trailer, not so much.

Well I impatiently waiting on pics, but not the 3 wheeler one!  Night speeds are usually less so that's good, but getting it out at night not so much fun.  But hey I lost a rear wheel last time at night, thought that was gonna be much worse.  Always a good time!!!!!!!!

Yea, there is no lack of detail, systems and craftsmanship.  He don't do anything half assed.   And the size of the suspension, wow!  I think he could just take the tree out of the way.  And he is already talking about tweaking this, changing that, you know, always wanting it better. It is way cool  8)

Sand Report Sir!  The sand was as smooth as I have seen it for years, Tuesday thru Thursday.  Great weather, just some rain at night on the first 2 days.  I broke my intercooler mount twice, welded it twice.  Mike broke his intercooler mount, we made a doubler repair.  Jerry clubbed a tree and bent his rear 5 link.  Next night he turned it into a 3 wheeler.  Then we had a hellavu time finding camp.  That was late night.  Overall, it was a GREAT trip!
OUCH, LOOKS LIKE THINGS GOT FUN.

Yep I was there!!!!!!!!!! but after the carnage.  I came in Saturday morning for a day trip and seen Jerry's car under a tarp setting at a funny angle.  No I wasn't leading but Jerry got to ride shot gun in a good car Saturday morning.  ;D giggity
