Explain? What happened?
Was a big mess, my RCV's were taken out two days prior to leaving for Moab. They are solid, but the install had issues with the Icon's. Big long story that stripped the gears in the hub so mod's need to be made. That being said, to go to GONE, I put back the stock half shafts. On Hell's revenge at a lunch stop, I was explaining to Kenny exactly what happened and he wanted to see the area I was talking about with the RCV's. This was a good omen because while I was pointing out to him the issues I had, I could clearly see the driver OEM half shaft were dangling out of the front diff. After limping out of Hell's Revenge in 3 WD used sparingly and dropping a decent amount of fluid along the way, I went to Terry's camp. There a mass of folks jumped in to help, Kenny, Steve-O, Steve, Terry, Scott, Dani, Joey, Sue and even Todd the Chihuahua stepped up to get me trail worthy the next day. Had a great BBQ getting that spider gear shaft out of the R180 diff and got me back on the trail with a HUGE thanks to Terry who had a spare output seal sitting around. One thing I can say is you will know who your friends are when you get into a sticky spot.
At the end many, many thanks to Scott and Sue for providing such a wonderful BBQ that fed everyone who jumped in to help me out.
In the end all I can say is Family is where it's at, thank you guys.
