Since I got nominated for the pink hook award here is the story behind it... On Labor day weekend, we decided to find this new trail called Rankin's Ravine (very cool trail). As I'm trying to go up the ravine, all I here is "dump it and go!" So what do I do? I hammered down on the throttle and sure enough I broke my passenger side axle. So what turned into hitting a new trail, turned into trying to get me out. We ended up pulling my jeep up the ravine and turned out there was no exit, besides this sloppy hill/ravine up ahead that everyone would of had to wench up. So long story short, ended up turning around and heading back down the trail to exit. Luckily we had a spare axle back at camp, where I spent the night changing it out in the dark (After eating dinner at the local pizza buffet, where Tony Vilardo drove his rig down into town. He ended up blowing out an idler pulley's bearing on the way there. ) I ended up getting pulled by Jim Busch and My day, Jeff Smith. Here are two photos for the carnage.
