Meeting in Georgetown at the general store at 8AM. The goal is to be on the spillway airing down before 9AM.
Requirements:
LWB - 35s one locker required, two lockers preferred
SWB - 35s one locker required
No metal valve stems
Must be carrying the capability to air down and air back up. You are required to air down for this run.

A CB. We will be using it for spotting where necessary, and not having to get out of the vehicle.

I will have my CO2 system. If you have air tools you can bring them as my tank can run tools.

Offline Our run has met the vehicle limit.
For the 5 of us - if you cannot make this run, you need to post proactively you are out so a back up can attend.
Thanks everyone! See you one week from Tuesday 8AM - Georgetown market, fueled up.

What happened?
Instead of breaking his track bar this time Guy decided to rip it off the frame. It left a pretty nice hole in the frame rail.
Pretty impressive he got off the trail with two crossed ratchet straps holding the axle on center!

Offline Jamie’s description is right on. We almost got to Buck Lake & the track bar mount, which was welded in place tore off of the frame & consequently lost all steering. Thanks to the ingenuity of Brad & Jamie strapping up the steering, we were able to limp back to Loon Lake, where we started. Then there was the long wait for a tow truck to show up, in which yet another 2:00A event ensued.
I want to personally thank Brad & Jamie for the help with limping me out the trail & the persistence to stay the course waiting for the tow truck.
Going out was fun, coming back was concerning, but besides the condition of the Jeep, we all survived the day, save for today at work!

Offline I don't think there were ny pics of the damage, we were in full on recovery and limp out mode. My passenger may have taken a few that I will post but nothing close up of the damage. If not at the shop yet guy maybe snap a pic of tha bracket and frame rail, I don;t like saying it, but it was pretty impressive what a strong weld and the torques can do!

Offline Was this a shop weld from last time? Seems the metal has fatigued around that area. Maybe some frame plates/ reinforcement is next

I agree. I think it's time for an overbuild! Rebox the frame with .250 wall. Then fab a new gusseted bracket of the same material and ensure it is bracketed across all three demensions.
It's fixable.
