    Had a great time this weekend, even though I got stuck (Thank God For the Diesel that came through and yanked us out or Chris and I would have been jacked).. Good to meet some new people nice fun run.

    It was really rutted out from the rains and heavy wind. Ill get some pics up tommorow.

    The truck ran flawless.... the run in to Nipton got it up to 65mph..also seemed like the wind was gust that high too. lol

    Awsome weekend...

    We were stuck for about 1.5-2 hours. We tried pulling the silver truck out but he was sucked in deeeeeeeeeeep. Luckily the Ford diesel came through and pulled him out without a problem. Otherwise, we probably would have been there all day digging him out of muddy water/dirt.

    woooooo hoooooooooooo... so, my tie rods and steering rack are not broke... we isolated the noise today at the shop, and found out the rack was just a lil loose, but a quick, tight turn on the nuts and my rack is back in place!!! (that's what SHE said)

    ya know, the thought of tack welding the bolt head in place crossed my mind... haha

    now that i know what it sounds like when it's loose, i can do the fix myself out on the trails...
