Hey Tim, where'd you shred the trailer tire? Any damage, other than the tire?

No other damage than the tire. Must have had an impact break cause the tire had a very large bulge in the sidewall before it let go. We were on 64 coming home near the new rest area south of Richmond. Ended up driving down the shoulder of the highway to get to a service station with air... changing the tire was fun, installed the truck spare tire onto the trailer wheel. Thank goodness for a high lift jack and tire sthingys..... now if I only had On Board Air........

What was wrong with the trailer spare? You do carry a spare tire for the trailer, don't you? ;D

Tim, looked like a fun time at Big Dogs. Again, I couldn't make this one. Judging by the pics, looked like Big Stan was having fun on that rock before it took his driveshaft. He is fun to watch in comps. I hear they didn't have too many this year? What trails did you drive this time? Is the Sept event going to the last one there this year?

Stan was on trail 11 Insanity. Yeah he broke all right but it was a suspension part that snapped in half after landing on the big rock. Saturday we ran 7d Death Valley
and than over to a section of ET, trail 10 where the competition was being run. On Sunday ran a trail that entered by the snow tubing area, very cool trail which presented a lot of challenges and off camber situations.
It goes very close to trail 11 so we took a break to watch Stan and Gene Rose play on the vehicle size rocks.
Yes attendance is way down this year and the biggest event this year was Icebreaker. But yes the September event will be the last this year and if John gets the word out might even be a four day event.
Now if my CJ weren't broke we would see you this weekend at Crozet ......
Exhaust parts........120.00
Driveshaft................80.00
Tranny Mount.......... 20.00
2 Ujoints................. 30.00
2 trailer tires..........280.00
four wheeling and having a great time. Priceless ;D
