Glad to see you got a pic of the trail weld job, I had never seen welding with jumper cables before, and Larry did an excellent job with them.

no problem, i'll help anyone I can. Saterday was a blast , but Sunday was a b&%*h, sheared the steering arm studs off the right side knuckle and 2 studs off the left side, did that on the Busywild, sat on the trial for 5 hours til they could make it back from Tacoma with a replacement knuckle. Will have pictures up tomorrow. A buddy blew out a thridmember, we got that swapped out, that happened right where the busywild goes into the woods, then another friend flopped on the same trailand tore one of his front spring hanger off farther down the trial.

its just outside the town of Elbe, all most too the Paradise entrance to Mount Rainer, (southwest part of park). Were already planning another run there ether the end of the month or the beginning of August. everyone that was in our group thought Busywild was a much longer version of the 197 trail at Evans.:clappy: :clappy: :clappy:

let us know when you go again, we may join you.

James are you going to swap in the new front end now? If you bring your rig now here I can weld it all up, once you get the mud off it
