Had a good time yesterday, we discovered some trails later in the day that weren't quite fit for street tires though lol. Mine made it until 4:30 before it lost oil pressure, so I got in 5-6 hours of wheeling, not bad lol. Seemed down on power on the way home, so it may be time for an engine.

Heres some pics..nothing real action packed sorry.

My buddy is lucky he has a winch lol.

For those of you interested in what happened to my bronco here are the pics.







There isn't a single piece of friction materal left on the clutch disc. I guess years of my hard abuse finally took its toll on the clutch.

Actually the flywheel and pressure plate look fine. With the friction material gone that piece of steel fit loose and didn't touch anything.

PlumCrazy, did you (or anyone else) camp there overnight? It looked like a decent campground. I eventually want to camp there. I decided to pass on camping due to the weather threat. Speaking of which, I woke up that night because the wind and rain was so hard. It actually blew my gas grill over.

Nope. We drove home in that storm. I was driving in zero viability rain for a good 20 min straight.

We got home right around midnight. I couldnt do much over 60mph with the bent rear shaft.lol

I got home just before the storm. I parked the truck in the drive. Right before I shut the truck off they said we might get hail tonight. So then I pulled the dually into the garage and left the trailer attached. It actually is still sitting like this LOL
