Dang! I almost forgot! This looked a bit like my rig but this guy didnt use solid cast rear blocks and tried to motor up this with 7 people in the jeep....the blocks crushed out and the axle rolled/twisted completely around pulling it off the jeep and whipping it sideways. I talked to the guy the night before and he said it would cost him at least $2000 to get a wrecker in there and tow it out...or even pull it to a place where it could be 'fixed' on trail. OUCH!!

Dang that sucks. It makes my idea of a trail rescue service sound even better. I've heard horror stories of paying $3000 - $5000 to have a rig extracted from the trail.

I liked that the crushed blocks and body parts were just left there ... kinda like 'oh well, I guess we're done here...'
