Yea it was... It's kind of funny because we stopped at Denny's to eat on the way up there, and we were B.S.'n about the possibility of him making me a deal on the frame, and body, because he planned on putting the running gear in a 4-runner project. I told him I was really tempted in his offer. Then about halfway through the Busy I jokingly told him that I would'nt be interested in paying nearly what I had originally said I might pay.

This was what spent the night on the busy

"Let's run the Busy" they said at 2 in the afternoon, "It will be fun" they said........:haha::haha:

Except for freezing my ass off, having to go home, get a starter solenoid and gather up a rescue party it really was fun. Anybody got any Blazer body panels for sale???

P.S.
Sorry about plugging the trail Sunday morning, we did everything we could before we decided to leave it.

Another birfield

and my buddys back window:haha: evans creek was a lot of fun tins of snow!! Ran as much as we could, a lot of it was impassable

I broke the 6 bolts that hold the left front hub onto the wheel... Sheared em clean... When the tire quit spinning with a soft pop, I was like, NO WAY did I just pop an axle or birf that easily... Turns out the hub was spinning... But not the tire...

So, had to get pulled off the stump I was perched on top of... And drove her down in a combination of 2wd and 3wd...

Oh, and I'm going to have to look at my winch... Trying to help Wayne get back on the trail and keep from rolling off a hill, I might've held the return line for too long without any movement from the winch... After we got him back on trail the winch spooled up fine... But later, after it cooled down, it would click but didnt wanna turn... Need to investigate the ol' 8274... So I'm not calling it broken just yet...

The solenoids on the 8274's are notorious for going bad...something to pick up a spare to keep with you:awesomework:

FireballXL5 · Apr 14, 2013

Lol... I love having spares!! ;-)

Still... Not a bad deal buying that winch for $400 and just slapping it on and using it! I like it... Think I'll keep it. I've seen guys spending $6k on these things beefing them up... Dual motors, dual solenoids etc... I'll have to see what mine 'needs'... ;-)

This is what that looks like if anybody is curious:haha:

This may have had something to do with it.

The solenoids are kind of expensive....but at least they are easy to access and replace if need be :awesomework:
