Skip to the bottom for the wheeling part
Long story short. Left for Colorado with the Escalade Thursday night. Had a flat tire on the way, east fix. Got there at 2am. Friday around 5 we headed out to find a hotel near holy cross, the 396k mile ford died al the sudden, I assumed it was the cam sensor, luckily we had brought the Jeep too so we took that. Made it to Napa at 6:58(they close at 7) got the sensor, swapped it, started right up. Drove to the hotel. Met up with the guys the next morning, wheeled all day then parted ways with them to head home. Brake caliper bolt came out on the Jeep and the caliper went through the rim, no problem, the spare is in ....Nebraska... tried for 2 hours to get the Jeep and Escalade on the trailer, both ways it was about 6 inches to short(insert joke)(insert joke about insert joke) so we left the Escalade on the side of the road and drove 3 hours home to drop off the Jeep and go to bed. Got up this morning(Sunday morning) at around 10, went and got the Escalade, had to stop several times in the mountains to let the ford cool down and for 3 wrecks, took the Escalade and trailer to my friends place north of Denver. Drove down to Denver to drop off the fiancé, picked up a breadvan my dad bought, took it up to my friends place to grab the trailer and Escalade, drove to my camper in Nebraska and just got here at 4:30, showering and heading to work. According to maps what I drove today should’ve taken 9-10 hours, it took me about 18.
Now the wheeling, Escalade did pretty decent. Definitely need to finish up the rear sway bar and get it hooked up, I Unhooked it for the trail. I also definitely need to lower it a couple inches. And then maybe... build a new rear driveshaft... dropped onto a rock while I was on the throttle about halfway up holy cross. Left it there then drove it back on the way down.
This didn’t vibrate on the drive back... in 4low... at 35-40mph...
