Just got back from Truckhaven updated pics

I used to wheel with this guy in the Datsun at the Hammers. Not too many Datsun's out there. His rig "gets it"

Last year David and I aarrived at TDS at the same time. david took off to go hit the notches while I set up at camp. it only took him 15 minutes to call me on the cell phone and need to be towed back to camp with a split tcase.

Ira that was major Cool of David. We need to all get out together again like you suggested. Maybe next month.
 
What got me out.

Since my winch smoked itself it took these 3 guys and a highlift to get my ass end above the ledge to get me out.

David drove 1 hour one way to put me on a trailer and drag my sorry ass back to his shop. Then he gave my daughter and I a room to stay in a we got warm showers:bow:.

Dont try to save our dignity, we all know the datsun pulled you out while dragging keith and pushing me outta the way. :D:haha:

I was actually amazed at how quick you poped outta there with all three pulling after seeing the winch give up after dragging two big pig K5s back toward you.

David is truely a rockstar. :bow:

So whens the next trip???

I think the Hi lift under my ass end helped with the ease of the pull.

I did not realize I was pulling both of you guys backwards:eek1:. No wonder my winch went POOF!!:D

Good one there "dik" :D Truckhaven brings back some memories . I see you're still around Leland, and Keith was out there too? How cool.

Wow, pretty nice of David to help you out like that!

I did the same to a rear driveshaft at Blazer Bash. There is a nice ledge on Prichett that I smacked my rear driveshaft on...it folded up like yours did. I had a fixed yoke 205 though. No t-case damage, and once we got turned around and the remains unbolted I was able to drive out under my own power in front wheel drive. The hard parts I did need a tug or a winch line for, but they were not that often.

I got an uber beefy shaft built by Dirk the following day.

I remember that day too. You still have that same shaft?
