Topaz crawling

I met a group from the Utah Bronco Club Saturday morning. We rolled out of Delta around 10am and drove to the Thomas Range near Topaz Mountain.

I knew right away that I was in over my head when everyone but me and one other driver had Locked up, Tubed up rigs with 40" tires. I was right and it only took a few miles for me to break a rear axleshaft and smash a rocker panel :haha: .

I jumped in with Steve and rode until he decided to park it and ride with Carl so I got in the Jeep with Brad and rode the rest of the trail.

I took a few pictures along the way :2thumbs:

The spider gears out of my rear differential are mangled.

I have a new Yukon Grizzly locker, 31 splined axleshafts and a bearing kit to install tonight.
