Metal Masher on Friday:

I pretty much snapped a pic of everyone as they passed this point. With a couple of exceptions, if you were on the Metal Masher Friday, there should be a photo of you here:

Was supposed to run Moab Rim on Saturday, but it was canceled due to rain. We ran Poison Spider Mesa instead. Lots of fun.

Will Carrol spotted pretty much everyone through the Wedgie. Must have been 20(?!) trucks.

Use me on the cover of the next Toyota Trails:

Rescued a group of bikers trying to find shelter from some intense thunderstorms and hail:

Glad everything worked out in the end with the pinion.

Setting up my rear ARB in the replacement diff after shearing my pinion - I used toothpaste to mark the gears.

A few pics from Kane Creek Canyon on Friday and Steel Bender on Saturday.

The whole gaggle can be found here. If you were on one of these runs, you can most likely find a picture in there somewhere.

I've got a load of pics I'll try to share. I took probably 700 photos but I'm not going to bother with all of them. Most are either from a shortened Pritchett Canyon or from Kane Creek on Friday. Didn't even pull the camera out on Saturday in the rain.

I was riding with Mistapugs (Ryan Davis) who was leading Pritchett Thursday. Turned into a very short day for us with him breaking a pinion very early in the trail. His rear full-float conversion that he completed last week sure paid off and made the trail fix a lot easier. Just pulled the rear shafts and went back out in front wheel drive. HUGE thanks to Woody and Clutchy for turning around and dragging us up the ledges to get off the trail!!! Was a total pleasure hanging and wheeling with you guys. Hope to do it again in the future. Front wheel drive is pretty much worthless. Woody even stepped up with a spare pinion for the repair once we got back to camp but our pinion nut was a different size and once we found a suitable one it wasn't worth the hassle of making the repair and we just hopped in with fellow Wasatch Cruisers member Dave Helm in his 80 for Kane Creek on Friday and Poison Spider on Saturday. We were supposed to lead Moab Rim on Saturday but we bailed on it due to rain as that trail can get super sketchy when it's wet. PS ended up being a lot of fun. Woody and Clutchy were with us again in Woody's 80 but cut out early with a leaky coolant line.

On to the pics. Pritchett on Thursday

more from Pritchett

This hill has changed a ton. Used to just be a mild dirt climb. Now it's really rough with several ledges making for a bit of a challenge. This is where we lost the pinion in the silver 40.

Clutchy.....love the glasses
