I 100% agree my friend! It was a very good day... Right up to the end. And I know what you mean about the ride out in the dark too. I loved the ride out with you, and REALLY loved it a few days later when I drove mine out... It felt really good and my truck did great.



By the way, the fix for the oil cooler? Only $4 bills. 1Stop Automotive in Lethbridge. Very careful and detailed work removing the screws from the holes, cleaning out pieces of thread, flushing the lines and engine, resealing and reattaching lines. Excellent job he did.



Total bill for that weekend: $1350. Add to that $400 for a new front drive axle right before the trip and my Differential in August, and I am in for $5 flippin grand. Crazy. But I still love it! Anyways, budget is toast for October and won't be able to go on the 23rd. I am planning a mid-week trip first week of November same area though. Maybe you'll be able to get away?

Would love to go but can't do a mid week run due to work....

So I take it you haven't been successful yet fighting over the differential?

I'll post what I have from the trip - some breath taking shots.... But I don't have any from the end though as I was a little stressed at that point...

Nice Trail...I'm pretty sure I heard someone in the video say, "Not much of a Trail!" And yet this post is about a 'Near Disaster'!!!



So when do we see the down and dirty good stuff???
