Yeah. Thanks for asking.
They got Chuck loaded up and we headed out. as I was going down the mountain, I started getting a grinding in the front end, mainly when braking. Thought it was mud and stone packed in the rotor or calibers at first. Chuck and I tried to check it out at the gas station when the tow driver stopped for fuel, but we couldnt see anything. It got worse and worse as we were heading down the highway. I honestly thought I had somehom blown the front locker again, but couldnt remember any certain time during the day where I heard anything like I heard when I really blew it. Kept driving and was able to isolate the sound to the right front. So then I start think that I probably blew up an axle U-joint, and the noise I was hearing was the ears of the axle shaft being ground off. While that would be tragic, it wouldnt be as tragic as a blown ARB on its 1st real run. So we get to Chucks, get him off the truck and the tow guy gone and we start looking. Turns out that BOTH caliper bolts had somehow backed out and the caliper is bouncing around and grinding on the inside of the rim. Chuck very graciously yanked two bolts out of the beast to get me moving properly again. She drove fine the rest of the way home, but I didnt get back to the house until almost midnight, Long day, but a lot of fun considering the damages to Chucks rig and mine.

Pretty much all the same ones we did that day that I blew my locker. We had a fair amount of down time as well with a couple people having issues.
It was a good day to have a winch. I think I used it 4 times, and one of those was to pull myself out of a mudpit. Did have one EPIC recovery that I am quite proud of, but I feel bad that I even had to do it. Chucks alternator died, and I had to winch him up that short rocky climb next to the staircase we all flexed on that time. Had to get Scotty to work as my anchor, and I think he pulled us both back a bit as well.

Can't say I really know of any legal paces to wheel in western MD. There use to be Green ridge national forest but they closed it down to offroad vehicles last year.

Hey now, let's not be upgrading willy-nilly, Green Ridge is a State Forest, lol. Yep, they shut that one and the one in New Germany down. They are a ton of back roads you can run on that are crazy, but not any legal wheeling spots anymore.
