January Nor Cal TW Snow Run 1/15/17

Probably both. Lot of snow dumped up there. Let alone the ice on the thinner areas.

 

all of the above

 

Im home now. everyone made it out. a ton of jeepers up there and a lot of recovery's. it took the group until 830 to all get un stuck.
Airing down is the key. some did and some only went down a little.
we got blocked by a large group of jeeps. i blasted around them all on a side road like a boss. only to wait 3 hrs. for the rest of them. what a long day.

 

My locker failed. air started blowing out of the diff breather. that was before i blasted up that hill.

 

That sucks!! But ECGS 5 year warranty, right?!?

 

That stupid jeep with 40s kept getting stuck and I crawled thru there, idiot. They ruined the trail for the rest of us. It's was fun tho, good times.

 

my duratracs have 40k plus on them and I did more then most. I also aired down to 8psi. I really need new tires. also my locker failed on this trip so I was open open half the day.

 

Im not sure if they cover the locker since i supplied it.I will call them tomorrow or tue. since holiday.

 

Damn! I missed out!!!

 

What happened exactly? ARB air lines are known to have issues in snow/cold, the cold creates condensation in the lines and water inside messes things up

 

From the sounds of it, the copper air line in the diff might have broken. That wouldn't be to bad if that's the case

 

air started blowing out the diff breather. i have an air dryer and a pressure reg. before the locker. maybe it will fix it self. but im thinking the seal failed on the locker causing air to get into the diff.

 

I made it up the icy part, to the end of the trail and back down. Then I went through the icy part again right past a flipped over Jeep then went to work. I was able to accomplish all of this while rolling on Duratracs!!!!

 

Haha that's funny Connor told me "today is in my top 10 best days of my life and I wanna hang out with Izzy again"!! lol I thought to myself, poor fucking kid has been neglected if sitting in my truck for 8 shitting hours today makes the top ten.

 

What a day, made it home finally.

Recoveries , accident and search and resecue looking for a father and son that went out on their snowmobiles and got stuck. The wife mentioned that they left in the afternoon and we found them after 8pm.

I agree, the one jeep guy was kind of a knucklehead. They helped turn me around with a tug. After that he told me "sir please don't spin you tires on the way down" I told him I haven't been spinning my tires. I crawled up here. The best part about this is after the huge cluster at the top and after I was on my way down. Who did I drive up on stuck and getting pulled out by a couple of toyotas. Yep, mister "sir please don't spin your tires. I wanted to tell him "sir, please don't spin your tires on the way down"

 

Can't forget Jason nose down in the ditch. Winched himself out

 

Was it every man for himself? Sounds like everyone got split up

 

No, we stayed together until towards the end with the cluster at the top. We ended up connecting back up again.
