    What's your favorite redneck trail fix?

    Had a guy's cross member rip from the frame that held the lower links to his 4 link setup. The only way to get it off the trail was to fix it, so we used his winch to get the axle lined back up and hooked 3 car batteries in a series together and used jumper cables and a welding rod to weld it...

    Texan Wheelin' Trip

    For those of you that have never wheeled on granite before, be careful, the traction is phenomenal, even better than Moab. Having that much traction is great but it makes it easier to break stuff. If you think your Jeep is in a bind, it is, get out and winch.
