I’m jealous you guys got to wheeling today. I’m gonna have to pick up some JB Weld to throw in my wheeling toolbox, never thought about it.

We were saying exactly this, absolutely gonna need some on board now.
So apparently I don't know how to use my 12 old gopro. While rob was messing around with playdough I was wheeling around trying to take videos. But they ended up being all just pictures.. 
Edited to add, I was helping at first. But then it turned into a one man job.

Did you guys have to go buy some?
Funny, Nate and I were just talking about cast aluminum oil pans Saturday on Spring Creek. I was telling Nate having one would make me nervous it might get cracked.
I have some stuff that looks kinda like a big tootsie roll. Had in there so long it's probably no good now.
We did. I bought 3 and used 2
My steel pan on the buggy has had silicone covering a few holes for about 10 ten years now.
Not even something I thought about since the drive shaft is so close and links on the way. Rocks always show me who knows what.
Holly makes a skid plate for them apparently
Yeah, that was the fun for the day blasting back up bunker hill and out to the parts store. We did clean the whole thing with carb cleaner before the jb putty. It hardened incredibly fast.

In Moab several years ago, I smoke the rear drive shaft and it sheared the grooves that hold the u joint clips on the outside of the caps. I used JB and just packed it in on top of the caps, got off the trail, drove home the next day, Moab to Pueblo, Colorado, No issues till about 10 miles from home, I just drove on it. Then parked until I scored a new drive shaft.
MrK5's son asked me if I was fixing my truck with play doh. I said yeah I guess I am. I still keep it in the truck.

Probably stronger than a new pan! That's awesome you peiced it together and it held!
Oil pan carnage
New steel pan should be a little safer though

The new pan is fabricated steel?
Yeah, fabricated in China
Looks like a nice pan, should have more clearance with the new one.
I got some for the trail toolbox.
Good choice!
But really this stuff was awesome, I put it on top of cracks still seeping oil and it was hard to the touch within 5 minutes, didn't even care I put it on top of oil.
First China pan leaked, called and got a replacement, it leaked worse. Sent them both back and ordered a good old 'Murican steel pan that's currently being made. Point is, truck is STILL down. It's June and I have driven up a single rock, in reverse. Sad days.
