Another spindle failure...Backcountry DV

There are moments in our lives when the people we care about and trust seem to fail on us. Our friends and loved ones whom we believed in can’t be there for us when we need them the most. When that happens, we feel alone and lose faith and trust in people. The phrase "I give you my word" no longer means anything to you. We think and feel that people can’t really be trusted anymore and assume that we can’t rely on anyone but ourselves. But it's situations like these when the kindness of people whom which you've never met in your life give out a helping hand without any hesitation, putting their lives on hold to render aid to someone whose in need. This shows there is still good people out there with big hearts willing to give a helping hand without thinking twice about it. @goblue82 @Mach375 Proves that people and total strangers can be trusted again. You guys are good people! Hats off to you

 

Another fine example of members stepping up and helping out others.

 

Well said.

 

Finally in big pine after some stupidity, trying to get ahold of goblue, cannot contact, I'm at the intersection of 395 and 168

 

Does anyone have brads number, it's not in my call log?

 

bump. I don't, and tracking on APRS isn't updating.

 

Gonna drive through town again and look for them again

 

@tetten when you get the wheel off let me know what you see. A broken spindle coming loose like that can VERY easily damage a hub and bearing assembly. If it has give me a call at 334-345-0422 and I will get my display unit shipped out overnight if possible.

 

Still not here, can anyone get in contact with them?

 

Did they head out to find and start working on your truck?

 

They don't know it's exact location

 

We arranged to meet in big pine at 1

 

I need to save up for some spare spindles.

Good job, guys

 

I texted Greg (@goblue82 ) but no reply yet

 

@goblue82 and @Mach375 , I want to pay forward my $50 @KB Voodoo gift card. You can PM me for the promo codes, $25 each.

 

I figured as much, couldn't make a call at work. Hopefully the text will pop up on his phone if they touch reception at some point.

 

This is weird, I don't know why theres no response, it's still 90min drive to the truck from Big Pine, I hope they didn't go out there

 

On the first 3 pages you can tell there was quite a bit of miscommunication between the 3 now currently involved.

Not sure if tetton (OP) and the others setup something else up behind the scenes.

Otherwise yeah, they're out there most likely. lol.

 

That's what I thought they were talking about as well.

 

Cell service is nearly flawless going up the 395...
