    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 .

    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

    Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
    The trout do not rise in the cemetery, so you better do your fishing while you are still alive. SGH

    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.

    Those are some serious rigs there, Love it! Sorry to had some carnage, hopefully get it all fixed and be back on the trail soon. I love those broncos!



    Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.

    Been there, done that. And yes, it's a great opportunity to put lockers in
