lol the big green monster will be there in all her glory! ive been there when tim has had to get rescued my brother had to stand on the side of his jeep holding his rear axle shaft in place for an entire trail and all the way to the parking lot at evans lol he is definitely a prepared wheeler though. thats why i like to wheel with him.

this will be the last time you see the green monster in its current state...

 

got the jeep all gassed up and loaded and ready to go. its already strapped down on the trailer behind the truck... im kinda excited i guess... lol here is a picture of what my situation is looking like if any of you need to find me

 

I think I did this right to post the picture. If not I will try again. I have a 96 White Cherokee lifted around 5.25" 33x13.50R15 Toyo's, Roof Rack with spare and 4 lights and winch, I am also missing my rear fender flares (More tire clearance). This might help if the picture does not show. Also I will be the one looking lost. Lol.

So I have packed everything I have. First Aid Kit, Straps, Shackles, Tools, Warm Clothes, Blankets, Lots of Food, Hi Lift, I pretty much have everything other then replacement parts.

I don't have any spare axles, drivelines, or u Joints. What do you guys think about going out with out spares? Money is kinda of tight right now. I am asking cause I don't wanna be that guy unprepared and stuck in the middle of the trail.

 

if your not locked then the likelyhood of you breaking an axle is slim to none. drivelines are a maybe but everyone has spares they would be more than willing to lend to you. we take care of eachother so you will be fine. this is a good group of guys to go with

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! I totally thought of that day as soon as Bill said that. That was funniest thing I think I have ever seen while wheeling. A couple of ratchet straps, a big log, a lot of grease and one little brother......LOL.....and you too can limp out of the woods after the second snapped axle shaft in one day. Thank God for the dude with the big white 4runner having his trailor there, too.

 

:cen sored:

 

I have a spare front and rear drive shaft including U-joints and I also have a spare right and left side axle shaft for the front D30 including knuckle U-joints and stub shafts (they are quicker to swap out on the trail that way. My long side axle even has a wheeling bearing assembly already on it so that one is even quicker to change. I figure my most vulnerable part is that passenger side long axle shaft in my D30. I will lend my spares to anybody. All I ask is they give me one in return as soon as possible.

If any of you boys are running rear D35s I would highly suggest you bring spare shafts for it if you are locked. With those C clip axles the wheel will depart your Jeep when the axle shaft breaks. Chryco 8.25s are C clip too but they are much stronger than Turdy Fives.

Like Branden said unless you are one of the guys who is locked I wouldn't sweat bringing spares unless you have a really really heavy right foot. If you do, you deserve whatever happens to you. I'm not knocking having the heavy right foot. I suffer from that problem myself at times and sometimes a little extra tire speed is just what you need to get over that obticle. Just be mindful of getting on it while the front wheels are turned or when the entire weight of your Jeep is on one rear wheel...stuff like that.

 

What does that mean

 

Lol, Your poor brother. It sure was cold too. lol

 

Just in case any of you were wondering, there is no day pass required for wheeling in the Elbe Hills ORV area. So no worries there.

One other thing I do feel I need to mention BUT should go without saying. There will be NO DRINKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE TRAILS with me. I'm no saint by any stretch of the meaning of the word and I am all about drinking a few beers around the fire while swapping 4wheeling lies on a campout after the days wheeling is done. I just can't have anybody doing it while we are on the trails and risk anybody getting hurt on a wheeling run that I sort of started. If any of you feel I am being unreasonable then you are welcome to not show up to wheel with me. Okay Nuff said about that.

WOW Branden!! That Dodge is bright come me red. Heck yes if you have that thing parked along the highway I don't see how anybody could miss it....lol.
