Should be an awesome trip. More pics, videos and obstacles this time!
Wait...you want MORE obstacles this year? Seems like you had a whole boatload of issues last year...

Haha yeah! I'm hoping not as many mechanical obstacles! Last year was rough but i learned a lot. This year ill keep my tranny fluid inside the transmission and my tcase won't sound like it's crushing marbles.
If I can keep my transmission and transfer-case supported correctly I'll be good 
I thought your biggest issue was with fuel delivery? Maybe I need to re-read the thread.
But, yes, the fluid is happier if it gets to stay inside the tranny.

that was the fordyce trip
Which does beg the question, does something major break on EVERY good wheeling trip?
Just trail maintenance

Haha yeah but you usually don't get left by yourself after you break.
I would say that you shouldn't EVER get left by yourself on a trail, but you seem to have proven that point for me.

Yeah hoping that'll never happen again. I don't mind being a tow truck though. Always good to help anyone you can!
I can't wait to start the new truck. Cab and chassis will be in my garage saturday. Then it's time to get crazy!
Gotta help anyone in need and willing to accept some help on the trail.

no, here's hoping I don't jinx myself, but in 4 years of abuse the worst things are a seperated front shaft and frozen smog pump which ruined my serpentine belt. Both were at local spots.
there, I said it!
So is the plan to run the rubicon both ways this coming get year? On the same trip?
Yeah I think so. I suppose its all pending we make it through the first time lol. It might be too much. Id like to relax a bit more on this trip.
I hear you on that. I would be down to run it one way over 3 days. Last time felt rushed to us
I'm just thinking of how tough it would be to run backwards. I think that would be fun. Coming down out of Buck Island and where we passed that group going backwards, ooohhhhhhh that would be gnarly.
