My first real STUCK.

[CherryK5]

Took a trip to Hidden Falls memorial day and not two hours into it this happens..

I slpped off the rock when i hit the skinny pedal and naturally got ****ED.

As you can see there is a rock between my diff and gas tank. and another that my pinion is resting on..

Some carnage.

Ghetto fab fix
Luckily we have a press so i just pushed it back out. Not too shabby.

A piece of 3/16 and some bubblegum welds and its good as gold!

that piece of 3/16 is the strongest part of that diff cover now

Did you go with a group or by yourself? There was a group that went from a local board and was just wondering if you knew them.

One drives a green military blazer on 42 pit bulls, one has a red chevy truggy, and the other had a tube buggy. Quite possibly there was a black k5 on 38s too.

Anyways, looks like it's time for a new diff cover. Haha. I like the weld together ones. I think that's going to be one of my next upgrades.

Other than that, did you have a good time?

 

[CherryK5]

I saw absolutely NO ONE. Until i was un stuck and leaving anyways. There was a black land rover, That was the only person i saw all day.

It would have been nice had i saw that group though.

Nice trail fix. That reminds me, I need a diy4x rear diff cover for mine.

Glad you made it out of there. Sure would have been nice to have another rig there to help out though.

Well it was memorial day so i figured it would be packed! but nooooo.
Luckily we got the tractor out there and pulled it out. then limped it home and patched it up. Some how my bubblegum welds are holding fluid.

Im ordering a razorback from Kert next check. Might as well go overkill. And I just use blue silicone to make gaskets.

So, I guess chrome does get you home.

I always hear that "chrome don't getcha home"

No the flatbed got me home. Chrome got me far enough into a traik to get stuck.
