All this is great if you have the time and tools, however with only 2 wheel drive you can’t drive out from the middle of Golden Spike anyway. Sometimes it’s better just to get the tow strap out and drag a dead truck to the shop

I'm guessing Golden Spike is not the only place something like this could occur and some people that own the vehicle were interested in know what possibilities were out there.

Doing the above can get you 500 miles back to home on the highway instead of stranded in some small town with a single mechanic or a large tow truck bill.

I was merely pointing out that sometimes it might be better to simply tow the broken vehicle off the trail and figure out the longer term solution in the morning. Not all of us are gearheads

I did however dutifully copy all of the pertinent notes from this thread for future trail side H3 recovery endeavors </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Taht is why you have gearheads like us around..We don't mind gettin dirty.

I want all of you who went to Moab to know that yesterday I did the South Florida Neighberhood Speed Bump Challange twice and nothing broke.

I even did the Jump the Curb Side Event and as a BONUS ran over 6 little Blue Haired Old Ladies but I still only placed 4th, behind the Morris Mini, the MGA and the Ford Station Wagon.

BUT

I did get lucky last nite...

SERIOUSLY

I'm glad you all had a good time and wish I could have been there.

OH, also sorry about the breakdowns !

RYD

Besides the 2 front diffs breaking, were there other noteworthy breakdowns?

And congrats are in order for the true H3 testers.
