Cuts Through Grease !!!

Ahhhhh, Labor Day was fun for us, night runs, broken parts, good friends, and GREAT wheeling! We rolled into Moab Friday night and as per our fanatical obsession with rockcrawling we decided to forgo checking in to our motel and immediately go on a night run. We brought our friends "The Bridges" from Pagosa, and also hooked up with "TnT" (1995ZJ and 00harpdog), and also "Chadschoon" and his wife "Chelsea". (I didn't want Chad and his wife to feel left out of the cool nickname thing so I went ahead and quotationed their respective names as well.
)
Anyway, we rallied up to the Wedgie without incident, hung out in the pleasant night air, and then proceeded down. A short distance from the tow rigs I heard an unpleasant bang and then grinding gears, and LJ came to a complete stop. Long story short: my T-case fell off and was not going back on without a fight! We let ourselves get towed out and went back to the motel, checked in and went to bed!
The next day was spent trying to get said t-case back in, deciding that something was not right, dropping said t-case, locating problem, going to M40 to grind crap off (thank you Steve), sending wife to Carquest, sending wife back to M40 to get Heim to replace bent heim that Chad found, putting it all back together.....and there was my day!
After Saturday we needed to make up for some lost time so we immediately headed out to BFE on Sunday for some fun! Tara has been wanting to drive Coyote for some time now, so I handed over the reigns and watched the extravaganza...
BroncoMama entering...
Jack (aka Scorpion) snuggling up to a rock.
Tara looking calm and collected.
Chad walked pretty much everything...
In her element (no, not the Honda kind)

Scorpion scanning for the right line.
More to come...
