back from Haspin with CARNAGE

:mad: ME and a few buddies headed for Haspin Frinday morning , we arrived at around 9:00am and were the only ones their , it was great ! we wheeled all day until around 4:00 pm when I climbed a hill that branched into another trail with a very bad drop off. I almost rolled so Jeremy put a strap on my cage so i could ease down off of the drop. I had the Jeep standing on the front axle and the wheels were turned to full lock and BANG ...... finally popped a u-joint . Well no big deal I'll just drive it out and replace it on the trailer ...... on the way out things got alot worse :

took out the ball joints on the pass. side . luckily we were just off the main trail below the end of the drag strip . I caught a ride to the parking lot and drove the Denali and trailer to with in 100' of the Jeep . We winched my Jeep up onto the back of Jeremy's Yota and and drove it to the trailer. Now it sits in my Garage bleeding all over the floor . Going to start the fun on Sunday afternoon , don't know if I'm going to replace just the ball joints or just sling my extra HP30 in it and call it done . Oh and I learned a really good lesson later in the day. I was riding with one of my buddy's and spotting for him on the back bone . I was standing alittle to close and a very large rock came out from under one of his tires and hit me in the leg

I have a nice hole in my shin now and one red sock

Sounds like you had a good day overall. I got there about 7:00pm and wheeled that night with JFISCUS and some friends from Terrain stompers. We had a blast all night. I just put it on its side once that night but, it didn't slow me down.

Sorry, For the poor quality pics.

For such easy trails they seem to make ya break some stupid stuff. Jacob broke the bead when a tree felt it was staying where it was, and he lost a rear shock mount... not to bad.
