This was the best moment of all.....

All day long I kept telling my brother if he got stuck I would pull him out and at the end of the day, he broke his front axles on a Level 5 trail called "Ditch" (Top porion) and I had to pull him out. This was a video, but I did a print screen to get the still shot......his is a CJ5, which was same size as my YJ when it was stock....look at the difference now.....lol

What did he break? axle shaft? You are obligated to share the video of the breakage:rtft:

I would check with Gilbert's Jeeps in Athens. He has many buildings full of parts or bodies with fenders and such, for just about all year model jeeps. I got my 95 tub from him for $400...good guy to deal with and good guy to know, when it comes to Jeeps. I would post his number, but do not ant him to get spammed......so just google Gilberts Jeeps and tell him Scott sent you, just so I can get more cudos with him......lol

Yeah he broke the right front axle shaft, and they are 1 ton axles. Can I upload videos on this site? Do you want the one where he actually broke it, or the one of me pulling him out????

Welcome, watch it there at Ditto, some unsavory people around there.

ok, call me Jeep crazy, but I just bought a 1995 YJ yesterday. YThey said it had a 6" rough country lift, but I am thinking it is a 4", but has brand new 33x12.5's, 4.0l/5spd and a small 3000lb winch. Also have a 1990 YJ that we will be putting a motor in next month, it is for a friend of mine at work, but now I have three YJ's and a tub sitting at my house, not to mention my sons Blazer.....lol

Please take that 3,000 lb winch and toss it in the trash. It's way too small for use on a Jeep and will only get someone seriously hurt.

Yeah, I just heard about that recently, that's unfortunate. Kind of got an idea of it after I got back there a ways and saw a little bit of the evidence.
Is there a better place around here to go?

There is a reason why I charge a good bit to pull people out at ditto. Legally you can go to Hale Mt ORP, I love the place. There are some other places, but you have to know the secret handshake to get to them.:rtft:

Went to SLOHV again this weekend for cinco de mayo. SuthrnTJ and I, as well as some yota buddies got a little deeper in the woods this time and had a blast. Y'all need to join us next time!

lol, yeah it works...believe it or not we used it to pull him out of a pretty deep rut, that he decided to go across, instead of going through....lol. Between my bumper on his spare and my friend pulling with his Pathfinder, he got across it......lol

I just knew the winch was going ot break.....lol

I haven't been in here for awhile. I haven't done any wheeling lately. Just ordered a new sound system for the Jeep. Hopefully it can all be in by mid next week.

I added kickers on Monday. It was hell working on the driver front! But sounds great!

I ordered an Alpine headunit, Alpine Powerpack, and 4 Polk speakers. I'm not sure if I want to put it in myself or take it to Dr. Eddies and let them put it in.

Getting ready to move to Huntsville from PA. Not really looking forward to the 800+ mile drive down with the 4" lift and 33"s, but the gas stations will be. Gonna miss Rausch Creek but from the short time I was there for my interview, I noticed quite a few like minded Jeepers.
