That's not rust, it's Canadian patina...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
HAD an absolute BLAST today. First real wheelin fun - and I dragged two buddys along with me. Figured the weather was finally getting nice enough, and the ground soft and mush enough that we should go exploring.
So, The trip consisted of two trucks, My Blue '84 BJ60, and Moosecruisers White '84 BJ60. 3rd member was a long time buddy from highschool... our "paperazzi"
Trip started of at my place, where I just completed an oil change. Then we got moosecrusiers cruiser in, and did an oil change on it, as well as installing the new speedo cable -so now he knows how fast he is going!! Also got both of our CB's hooked up for "trail comms"
After the nessecary work was out of the way, we decided to go check out a "road" I went down years ago on my ATV. I knew exactly where it was, but didn't really know the condition of it. I did remember that when I went down on my ATV, the water was pretty deep, and the ruts were very deep. Being in Canada, and only the begining of MARCH, there is still quite a bit of ice around. So, on our entry, we werent really sure if we were driving on soild ice, or just a layer of ice, over water in the ruts... we shortly found out that in some places.... it was ice over water!!
So moosecruiser follows me in, and apparently I picked the better line, as he dropped through the ice and got completely hung up on both diffs... Luckily it was in a spot where I was able to get back around him, and tug him out backwards. At this point we decided it would be better to try my 2nd location - where we spent the rest of the afternoon.
Only pic I have is of Dr.J being "rescued" from the flood. (apparently we left him behind to take pictures!) Mike kindly offered his bumper as a ride out of the soggy wetness.
(more pics in second post... gimme a minute)
