Hey everyone, I had an eventful day yesterday. Went up the mountain to take the family to the snow. On the way out I sank like a rock and got bogged down. While trying to winch out, I sheared the studs on my passenger side knuckle (I know, "CHECK YER NUTS!!"). I was thankfully able to get a breath of cellphone service long enough to contact a friend who put together a rescue party, but the rig had to stay after a failed attempt at a trail weld. Anyway, I've ordered new studs and hope to get back up there this Saturday to make the repairs to get it off the trail then trailer it home. If you're interested in helping me out reply to this thread or send a DM, and I'll get you the details. A storm came through today, and it's still currently snowing up there. Forecast were for 2 inches, but it was really wet down here so I'm guessing it's more than that.

Thanks
