thought I share with you all.
DenaliOffroad went out today and got muddy in the sun. Wayne and I started our day at 0700 looking for a tranny mount he sheered all the bolts and tore the mount. that 351windsor has no tourque :whistle:
finnally went all the way down to anchorage and after a few shops and being tossed around we finnally found one. drove back and fixed it .
wayne and I started the trail trying to catch up with the crew. I did well concidering.when beginning of the trail in the first mud hole I spunn both my belts off and destroyed the power steering pully. my day started great.http://www.denalioffroadclub.com/forum/VBforum/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
then I find out my rear locker isn't getting air again. so now I have no powersteering and I'm only locked up front. needless to say I have sore forearms.
we had some carnage too. Cory was the first to break had something to do with his spider gears. in his dana 44 on 38 swampers.. then Ryan couldn't keep oil in his Buick v-6 powered toyota his oil bypass fell apart after several tries to clean it up and reseal it failed . Ryan jumped in with me and we headed out.
later we came up to a nice side hill with 44inch bogger deep ruts ,where george threw his tire off his rim.
wayne and I decied to go around then I had the (LOOK YALL WATCH THIS) mantality and went for it with no rear locker. I almost made it but blew a bead and had to get winched the rest of the way,. while I was trying to set my bead Tony went back down and was in the middle of turning around and boom ....he snapped his front axle hub and spindal on his 460 efi powered bronco with dana 60 front end after pulling out broken parts so he could roll in 3 wheel drive .. we started heading back. we all had a great time. here is mine and waynes pics. if you want more info go to denalioffroad.
