Fixed! ;)

Glad you didn't lay over like that one! :eek: (although I am sure it felt like it!) Were you just trying to kill 2-H2's?

Re: K-rocks June 2006
 

in the ultimate marathon attempt at quick fixes and thanks to Phil and Seth we got some stuff custom rigged and one hell of a fast roadside pitstop.

Since I blew a bead in the water, when we reset it with a PowerTank CO2, the tire still had a good bit of water in it. On the road, the faster I went the higher the front tire would get to bouncing.

2-H2's was riding with me, Phil and Seth and Rod from Vegas all stopped to help to make about a 5 minute tire change.

Once back at the Hotel, we noticed that the rear diff bolt had pulled through the mount on 2-H2's truck. The rear of the diff was rotated up about 6 inches too high and the bolt had become severely misaligned.

Thanks to Phil and Seth turning around from on there way back home, we were able to, basically, undo the front end and re-align the front diff so we could get the bolt back in. Problem was that the rubber bushing was turn to pieces and the big solid washer that was suppose to keep the diff locked into position was never there. So, we had to do some custom, on the spot manufacturing. We cut a piece of aluminum that 2-H2's had, drilled a hole in it then took and cut about 1 inch off the head of a rubber mallet and drilled a hole in the center to use it as a rubber bushing in place of the one that was torn to pieces.

Here is what the final product looked like that apparently got 2-H2's, wife and dog back home safe and sound.

Devilsfan was a true T&A diva behind the wheels of that yellow hummer. Well done.;)

Re: K-rocks June 2006
 

Those pics are great! Looks like a really fun time with lots of water, rocks, and SUNSHINE!:)

Re: K-rocks June 2006
 

Thanks, ETD. You're no slouch yourself. ;)

I learned a long time ago that the husband is better outside the truck with the camera, instead of in the passenger seat screaming "Don't hit that rock! You're gonna tip over! AUUGGGH!!!!"

:rolleyes:
