AWESOME!! Wish I'd stayed now!!! So Stan made it through the twisties at the end, eh??? Sweet!!

It was pretty tight for him. Came home with some Christmas tree parts on his roof rack and a bent wheel....but he made it!

I was looking a little closer at my rear yoke and the tab that holds the u-joint cap in, is completly sheared off.

so I think I must have come down on the driveline just right and punched out the cap just enough to break the tab, then the cap worked its way out of the u-bolt and then it all went bad.

Here is the good side

and here is the side with the missing tab

That sucks! Happened to my brand new 14 bolt ubolt yoke my first trip on it at Goshen

Bucking Bronco · Nov 28, 2008

this one is also a 1410 and this was its 3rd run

you didn't you get yours from Shakerbuilt did you

Tacoma · Nov 28, 2008

Shakerbuilt! Haven't heard that name in a while. About 10yrs ago, they were selling a lot of neat Chevy parts no one else had.

Anyway. Well that sucks!!! I just went out and looked, thinking I might have had a yoke for you, but it's a 1350.

V-DAWG · Nov 28, 2008

I saw y'all out there. I only spoke with Richpblaze?, super nice guy!

I wasn't trying to be antisocial, I just was limited on time and since I am trying to sell, I didn't want to risk breaking anything. (Not that I am anywhere near the league some of those rigs are in.)

Here are about the only pics I took:

Tacoma · Nov 28, 2008

I wondered what happened to you guys, I wanted to check out those rigs!! And if you ever see my Blazer on a run, you'll be fine to go.

Tacoma · Nov 28, 2008

Anyone wants to pick me up, I'll go again.

SO after Stan gave up his first attempt at the nest, Byron tried.....No luck so I thought for fun I would give the Scout a try. I had to turn around anyways.....right?

Well first attempt was close but the motor stumbled (big surprise) Got a few rocks stacked and let her sit for a minute then. DROVE UP THE NEST!!!! It was fun! But that meant Stan had to try again.....Cant let a stupid Scout with a bad motor beat the almighty T REX. Unfortunatly he had the same result. SO close but just didnt happen so he hooked the winch up. Byron's kids had enough so he turned around and me and Stan finished the trail. Stan bent a wheel and lost air so he had to beat it back into position and rely on his CO2 to filler back up.

It was a SWEET day. Even if the Scout wouldnt stay running and had no power. I had a lot of fun and it was cool to see/meet everyone.

I decided Im done messing with this motor. The 460 that I had built for my Mustang is going in! Should have about 100 more horse than this motor (when it was running right, about 300 more than it had today) Should make for a good winter project.

Thanks to everyone that came! I will try to get some pics on soon

I have to see what this "Nest" looks like!!! Man, I wish I could have joined you all on the run! But, no... I was stuck here in Junction, alone, designing wheels all day

. Whoa is me! (This is where you are supposed to feel sorry for me!)LOL

And what is up Cheston.. I thought you had the engine fixed??? So I must know... is the mustang 460 injected, or are you still going to run propane on it??

Looks like an awesome day and I can't wait for more pics!

6 states actually replaced it for me but I would love to have a spare.

How much do you want for it?

The nest is a pretty hard obstacle. So bad they actually cemented in a winch point above it!! Way fun

I thought the engine was fixed to!! I went to the Idaho TTC and it ran great, went to the Goshen wheeling and it ran great. I didnt even unload it off the trailer before this trip. It ran good when I pulled off then about 200 yards up the dirt road I could tell I was going to have problems again. Its doing exactly what it was doing in Moab.

There are only 2 scenerios

1st. The motor is just mentally tramatized from TTC still

2nd. The Scout HATES T REX. I think its jealous of all those wheels :greg:

The Mustang motor is basically the same motor, just built a lot more. I will be running the propane on it as well. I really dont think anything is wrong with the propane and I like it, when the Scout is running that is. I will have to get a smaller cam though. The one thats in it now will barely idle

Who was the drunken cameraman?

X1994J · Nov 30, 2008

Sounds like a good day of carnage. I tore up a ring and pinion and broke a detroit locker in the front of my Jeep on Wayne's World. I was hoping it wasn't too bad, tore it apart today to fnd the good news.

sprueitt · Nov 30, 2008

It was a great day of fun. Having things a little wet made them more fun and challenging. What a great bunch of guys to go wheeling with, thanks to all.
