I'm glad we got Mikes truck out of there and to his house. I wasn't sure that was going to happen when I finally got down to his truck to help. We pushed/pulled his front end 90 degrees and jacked his rearend over a stump to get him pointed down the hill.

I was relieved/impressed that my 3 could and did tow him off the trails and all the way home. Luckily to get home is mostly downhill.

Glad I could help you get your truck home last night.

Thanks for saving my ass on that hill.

Before the carnage, we had a fun day of wheeling. Got mostly video, will post it soon.





Then the carnage.



Above is what it looked like when it first happened. Below is after it finally finished destroying itself.



This was my view when I almost tipped over.

I would have loved to see Slates face inside the car!!!

Glad you made it out safely!

Nice t-case Mike
You guys know I will come help anytime. When you hung up you said you'd call me right back, and when I didn't hear from you I assumed you were ok. I should know better.....

FYI....

I got a buddy who has a used/rebuilt H2 transfer case he is selling for a great price. Let me know if you are still looking for one and PM me your contact info if you would like him to contact you.

His face was priceless....that is why I got off the phone so quick Jody said I was needed now....I know you would have came up to help and I would have called back if things would have got worse....

HummerHippy if you want to tow me around on a strap we can go this weekend


HumminNBoatin' it is at the dealer right now and should be covered by my warranty, if not you might be getting a pm.......I actually was joking on the trail about getting a gobi and carrying all of the drive train parts on top when I go out...

You know you can pick up a tilt meter at Central 4 wheel drive for 10 bucks.

I'm glad you're getting your rig fixed.
I took mine in for a clunk in the transfer case once when it was new, and when they put in 4 wheel drive in the shop, it blew up all over the floor. I considered myself lucky, and told the guys it couldn't have happened in a better place!

Glad you made it out safely.

Holy piss!!!

What trail was that?

[H3slate]

It was right after Can opener and archers firebreak. It had a trail sign that was knocked down. Ended up being a dead end at the top of the hill.

At least you got some sweet pictures of the H3 lifting a leg.
