Before anybody says anything, there are no pictures. :flipoff2:
Cory and I went out with another one of our friends for an impromptu trail run. We did the Bill Moore Lake trail that starts at Empire. It's a good thing we did a test run before anything else more serious. My Bronco overheated a the trail head, had not even started yet. A little bit later, Cory lost a motor mount and the transmission came loose. We used my Bronco to pull his transmission back into place then used a ratcheting strap to hold it in place. Later I got my speedometer wiring wrapped around my drive shaft, so now my speedometer does not work, I also lost the use of my neutral safety switch.
It was a day full of backyard mechanics at it's finest.

I want to add, we did finish the trail, so in the end it was a success.
When we at the lake, weather moved in, there was a flash of lightning and a nice thunderous roar. Our friend tells me to look, I turn around and Cory is hauling ass, running from the lake. That lightning caught our attention. :D

Something I learned today. Small street trucks suck on the trail. They don't get any traction and I was embarrassed on how low the Bronco was to the ground. The Bronco looks like crap, at least it could look tough.

LMAO Jeff!!! You make it sound like Frick & Frack found a monkey wrench! After following your truck on Saxon, I wondered why you seemed nervous in your posts. I guess this splains everything. :laughing2:

Hey shit head I was not going to say anything, but since you want to talk shit, it was nice to see your Binder make it to the lake on your third attempt at the trail with your second Binder.
Yes, I have skillzzzzzz, or maybe it's a Ford thing, because now I've made it three times with two different Fords. :flipoff2:
I think it's easier than Saxon Mt.
