Our weekend didn't start off the best. We planned to leave around 4, as soon as Aiden got out of school.

We didn't leave Spanish Fork until 6:00. 20 mile before we got to Price this happened.

We should have taken that as a sign of things to come!!

We got to that camp site 11:00 pm and set up camp. I think our Mountain Biking neighbors hated us!!

Camp site had ZERO shade, but we were in the trucks most of the time so didn't really matter.

The rest of the group arrived about Midnight. Didn't get pics til morning.

Friday started off okay. Although the 37s were not a good idea (had a lot of rubbing issues). We headed out on "Triple Threat" with the hopes of finishing it this time.

Just after the waterfall my uncle in his BAD ASS Commando busted his output shaft. We had to turn around and go back out. Damned Triple has avoided me again.

That night 9:30 pm, my other uncle rolled into camp with the great idea to pull a night run on "The Pickle". This is where I got into my pickle!!

Very first obstacle got me. and I quote from traildamage.com

"This is 50-50, the first obstacle. It is a series of big steps, and short wheelbases have the advantage here simply because of the placement of the steps. There is room to turn around at the bottom, if you change your mind about the trail. It's called 50-50 because it seems to take out or turn back about half of your group, and you make it up about half of the time. Your chances are about 50% here, it seems. This is where most of the breakage will occur if you skip Wishbone."

So far it's got 100% of the time.

Now the hard part is finding a case or shaft to replace it.

One more shot from back at camp. My cousin took a bunch more pics so when she gets them to me I will post them up.

This was taken the exact moment when the output shaft snapped. You can see the smoke from the t-case.
