Icebreakers 2010

WOW what a weekend. I really needed that break. Enjoyed the wheeling til it broke and didn't let that get me down. Thanks Nick and Matt for dragging my shit out of the woods til the wee hours of the morning. Mandy and Joe thanks for the fantastic dinner saturday evening. Kim and Jay thanks for running for parts for me AGAIN. It's nice to have close friends you can depend on. I had a really good time and a broken jeep and rain was not going to spoil my weekend. Looking forward to KOH and wheeling saturday.

Hell of a good time as usual!! Bummer that your shit broke Bill but I'm glad you stuck around and still had a good time! Extend my apologies to Elva again...whoops!!!!

I can't believe the weather actually turned. It didn't seem like there was even the slimmest chance of a break in weather when looking at the forecast.

Saturday was a good time on Penslytuckian, probably the cleanest I've ever run it. I was proud of Julie...she ran Corum from bottom to top with no issues and then did the bottom half of Extreme. Matt was brave enough to ride with her on the climb of the big flat rock...she said she'll never forget the look on his face and said he looked terrified.

Me, Nester, and Matt went out on Sunday and ran V trail, then up canyon to Bunny and back down KGB and called it a day. I was having a clean run through Bunny until I snapped an axle shaft. I'll post video of it then.

As always it was great too see everybody. Thanks for the meal Mandy, it was excellent!

So what was the total amount of damage?
Who broke what?

I have a busted shock & a new rip in the soft top but that's all.

electrical bug to resolve, hood smashed, master cyl and booster smashed down. That is all.

I think I might have scratched the paint a little

hm mm major damage would be the drive shaft but i have plenty of things that need addressed. I guess ill do a full write up in my thread.

i had a shock mount break off
put a small cut in my sidewall on pensyt. trail which i can patch
and my alternator went up......which i ordered already.

I broke the front short side U-joint. fixed it on the trail
Emily broke the long side shaft. fixed at camp before the rain.

I still have a long things I need to do including fixing the sliders on the pass seat, install new Joints in the spares, fix my roller fairlead and install rock lights.

Just wondering if Matt is sore/bruised and if he broke anything not discovered after the barrel roll on the stone road.

I have bruised inner thighs.

Damn, I told Joe to take it easy on you...he said you don't bruise that easily, guess he was wrong.

I was going to say something along those lines but couldn't think of anything good.

I swear it was the captain, next time i'll be a little gentler.

you brought that on yourself.

Ya know, it doesn't look that bad from this angle, but I swear, from where I was standing it looked waaaaay worse!

These are a few that I took....

I really don't know how it didn't roll.

When you click the link for your pics it asks for a password - can't see them.

I was afraid of that.... And I can't make that album public since my main album is private. I'll just post some of the good ones here....
