Got stuck big time.
Well last night I decided to take the blazer out in the woods. It was just me and my friend, BIG mistake. Going down this hill that dog legged to the right and had a pretty deep rut down the middle of it, there is a downed tree that is a really good size tree and no getting around it. So I was going to turn around as close the bottom as possible, yeah didn't end up the way I wanted it to. Ended up sliding into the rut and got stuck. So walked back to civilization and went back out today to get it out, drive shaft is just laying in the frame. It broke both u-joints. It was in a really wierd bind being in that rut. Finally get it pulled to the top of the hill and was thinking ok just limp it out with just the fronts pulling, should be pretty easy. WRONG! While driving along, I hear this grinding sound coming from the passenger side of the blazer and then couldn't get up this hill. Get out and look and the passenger side rear of the truck is sitting on the ground. Wheel is off to the side of the trail with the broken axle. So hooked the town ropes back to it, jacked the back of the truck up and slid the wheel back on. Oh we only had to do that about every 100 yards or so. So now my truck is sitting on the side of the road by the entrance to this trail in a neighborhood awaiting for me to get it towed somewhere tomorrow. Guess I'll be putting another rearend in it tomorrow. Anyway I have no pics b/c I was so busy being pissed off about the whole situation. It was dark and cold too. Anyway just been a really sucky day. Oh and my passenger side mirror is now sitting in my back seat too.
