OR a trailer we can use to get him back. Ideally, it would be nice to have another person or two and some more tools to make the trip. They are safe and have water but no food, I am gonna have more info in a bit, If anyone has a any of the resoursed listed please call me Josh at 480-593-3245. ADAM also has his cell and gets ok reception. I know they need help soon because it gets F cold out there.... please let me know thanks!

[SHNIPE]

Just past the firehole.

Broke a front cj D30 Knuckle if you have one bring it with the balljoints too.

his number is 602-459-6909 <-- adams number. He will stay on top of the hill for 15 more min then hike down and return in a bit.

He might need a trailer if no one has parts

[terron gregg]

[AZLugz]

I have a trailer and 4x4 truck to tow it. Live in Mesa by AJ so I am not to far, if he needs the help, call me soon so I can get the trailer out and start that way........ I am also VERY familiar with that area.

[GRUNT]

Stuck at work, sorry...
No knuckle, did you guys call Desert Fab or 4-wheelers to borrow or buy on payment plan for a CJ knuckle?

[GRUNT]

Sorry, forgot it was Sunday and they'd be closed... :(

Way to go AZ Lugz!!!!!!!

[RokNRich]

Depending on how bad the knuckle is broke, getting it to a tow rig may be difficult.

You guys might want to consider going and getting him, or bringing him food, beer, and firewood for the night.

It's going to get dark and cold soon, tomorrow is another day.

Sidenote - Rich, can you make your avatar bigger...please:D

[DanFelix]

Full Screen Sized?

[TRLR8TDTJ]

You should try to get it tomorrow in the daylight and weld it up enough to get to trailer. It will be real cold real soon.

Good luck

Folks, this is in general discussion not off topic. Might want to consider changing the location of your subject matter.

[AZLugz]

The trailer is on the truck and the straps, chain and come-along are loaded. I can go out tonight or tomorrow, either way, I don't mind working late either. Tomorrow I have to help another member move a Wagoneer at 4:30 tho.


Call me if I am needed

[OlneyJeeps]

[Allen]

Nope! I'm on my way out to see if there is anything I can do!

No, she it right.... You just haven't been around long enough to understand...


If I wanted to see garbage like that.... well the internet is full of it...

And for those who don't understand this, a certain someone's avatar got enlarged and the avatar is of a somewhat questionable subject matter for a "family oriented website"...

[RandyT]

Any updates?

[Billy 4 hp]

Any updates?

They got a replacement knuckle and where heading out, fortunately Ademster is fairly handy with a wrench so he should be out soon...

[GRUNT]

Sorry, I was joking when I asked for a bigger avatar... Inferring he send it in a PM, but I did not communitcate enough... Just wanted to show my XJ friend here at work.

[TanTJJim]

Aw man, we were out there all day today too. I just got home and read this, knowing Adam it will be fixed .003 seconds after the parts arrive. Let us know when you're back home Adam, wish we would have heard you on the cb so we could have helped.

[AbsoluteOffroad]

I just got off the phone with Joe. The new parts are out there and they are fixing the Jeep now!!! So they should be off the trail some time tonight. :) Cronoh is also on his way home.

Lisa

[TanTJJim]

That's good to hear, glad Adam doesn't have to spend the night out there. So is Joe out there right now where Adam is broke?

[lancetkenyon]

Probably. Joe is camping out there all weekend. I wheeled yesterday with him, and going back out tomorrow. Then hitting TM with him on Tues. Good job Joe!

[TanTJJim]

That makes sense, we saw him all over the place out there today.

[AbsoluteOffroad]

Joe has been out there all weekend. Hackle called Joe about 4pm and Joe headed out to the trail and brought extra water and food to them. They started heading off the trail when they ran into ??? sorry can't remember who Joe said brought out parts:confused: and Adam went with them, Joe went back to the motorhome to call me. I think he might be going back out, but if they need Joe he is not to far.

Lisa

[SHNIPE]

Thats the wrong number!

it was the right number. adam had it forwarded to home instead of voicemail. Joe is freakin awesome!! The more that jackass does the more i kinda think hes a good guy... kinda!

[lancetkenyon]

Don't think that! He just wanted Adem out of our way for tomorrow!:smug:

[Cronoh]

Just got home. Yeah, they got the parts and were on their way back into upper when I left. I got some pics of the carnage, pretty amazing ti see a knuckle break instead of, well, anything else :p Anyways, I'll work on gettin' the pics up, it is very cold, luckily we collected a good amount of firewood and didn't burn even half of it by the time we left. I'm hopin' to hear from Adam later tonight, I know he has work tomorrow, and if he shows it would be after a hell of a night ;)

[TanTJJim]

Glad to hear you guys made it out alright!

[GRUNT]

Glad you're out!

[joshsteele99]

After making and receiving a bunch of calls, SteveO called me and said he had a steering knuckle and we made quick arrangements for pick up. Terron Greg is awesome he went out to meet Steve and I followed him out to FJ on the way I got a call from Allen and we all met at the Flag pole. After I aired down we started out and not 10 minutes off the highway we ran into Joe and Adam and Andrew, parts were traded, BS and some Pringles... Thanks to everyone who responded! AZLugs, Terron, SteveO, Allen!, Joe and many more! It is a real pleasure to be a part of this club, great people! Josh

[OlneyJeeps]

Great to hear all turned out good!

[terron gregg]

i just got back adam wheels trails on a unicycle should all be getting home soon ran into joe down there bs for a minute i have some pics will post in the morning

[ademster]

Well I got home about 20 mins ago... I had to dethaw my hands/


The replacement Knuckle was complete with Ball Joints, I just needed to unbolt my Hub/spindle/rotor and put it on the new Knuckle. it took longer to get back to the jeep then it did to put it all back together.


I made it out with some tugging by Allen as I snapped both front axle shafts, and somewhere somehow, the AMC 20 held up to its reputation... I finally spun a hub on the axle.

so I basically made it out in 1 wheel drive.


Thanks Joe for coming out and bs'ing with us, keep warm next to the fire.

Thanks Terron, ( and girlfriend ) Allen, Josh, Andrew, and all of you here on the board.

I appreciate the help. Luckily I was able to get home for work tomorrow in 5 hours haha


Well I guess now I dont have much choice but to go to 1 tons haha with the lines I have been taking of the late.



I will have parts for sell soon, such as Dana 30 Locker and other stuff..




Again thank you


Adam

[Allen]

Any time!

[TanTJJim]

Good God that's alot of carnage! It didn't sound near that bad when everyone was talking about it. So are you going full width when you put on the 1 tons:)

Adam, the last time we ran lower and upper woody I noticed your rear axle making some popping noises when you were starting to drive into the wash on lower woody. At the time I thought it was your locker getting angry at you, now I wonder if it was the splines letting go? Anyway, glad you guys got out of there albeit late.

[ademster]

no it didnt go out that time, it poped the last time i was out there with Andrew, Frank, and Clay, Terron.

[ademster]

and yes I am going full width and SOA,

Chevy 5.7 L and TH350 Trans.
