I got to go with Rob on his maiden voyage of his new axle. You will all be happy to know that everything held together perfectly. Way to go Rob! The trail was kinda crowded and the river was kind of high, but not terrible. I broke a hub in the squeeze at winch hill #3. We couldn't get the hub out, so I ran the rest of the trail with a handicap. Still, we made it from Eagle Lake staging to Meadow Lake in under 5 hours, including stops for repairs, stops to eat, and waiting for other groups to get out of the way. It was a great day, but now my Jeep needs some serious attention.

Had a blast, and I'm very happy with the way the axle worked. No binding and it drives like a dream on and offroad!!!!!!!! We need to get you fixed and running again John, we still need to get to LS this year 😏

4 hours 30 minutes from Eagle lakes staging area to the top of Meadow lake 🍺 What happened to your tires John? Did they shrink 😂

Here is John fixing his rig, normally the pictures are of me fixing mone 😁 😁

Looks like a fun day. That's amazing time with a crowed trail. I fought crowds today too. We went to the State Fair. 😲 Man am I glad I don't live down there anymore!!!!

People see those big 40" tires rolling up behind them, they get scared, and they pull over 😂
