Thanks Ernie for leading today & the help with the repairs. And thanks Dave for letting me ride with you at Summit & sharing your experience with building the truck up..

This morning turned out to be a nice rainy day but my day wasn't so good. On the first trail climbing into Summit, kept losing power & had to leave the truck at the landing. Hopped in with Dave & his boys & had a blast riding shotgun & shooting video for once. The trail was a lot harder than I remembered it from last time. Definetly not a stock trail.

Once we got back to the landing at, we found that the hose going between my airbox & engine had a crack with was causing the engine to lose power on 1st gear. Ernie helped patch it up with duct tape to make it drivable.

We then loaded up & made our way to MaBell. I had to leave my truck again because of the power issue. Just started to make out way up when Dave's U-joint gave way. The rest of the rainy afternoon was spent with Ernie & Dave getting the U-joint/drive shaft fixed. Got some pics & video from Summit, will post up shortly.

What I learnt today was that 1. Duct tape is the best tool to have, 2. Need to order a spare U-joint & 3. save up for a locker. :-)

Big thanks to Ernie and Suresh for helping me out. Wouldn't have made it home without you guys. Now it's time to fix the truck for the drive to Texas.

Sorry to miss the run guys I told Ernie I heard noise and checked under the truck and I have a crack in the exhaust manifold and didn't want to chance it.

Sorry to hear about you guys problems on the trail. I'll catch you next time and I def want to do the Summit again.
