Went to a giant mud bog event about 2 hrs south of orlando, my starter quit on day one because of being submerged in water and sandy mud so we pull started the jeep with my tow rig all weekend, I hit a hole pretty hard and broke the center pin on my front right leaf spring and the axle shifted so that the right front tire was rubbing the fire wall and putting my front drive shaft in a bind. i tied a tow strap to the front axle and jerked it back into place and lined all the leaves back up with a hammer and a screw driver. I used a bolt i stole off a battery tie down on another broke jeep as a new center pin and bogged it like it owed me money for 2 more days with out insident.
My friends jeep is a mud monster, it is a cj5 on 50 inch tractor tires, one tons, atles t-case. it spit a rod out of the bottom of the oil pan. it had a 383 stroker motor. It lasted 3 years running 7000rpms every time so he was not to disapointed it blew up he was just a little down he towed it 3 hrs to a 3 day event and it blew up in the first hour of being off the trailer. We are going to install a 406 SBC in it this weekend he bought from a guy at the swap meet.
on a funny note, a chick buried a brand new f-350 quad cab superduty duellly in a hole all the way to the windows, thy had 2 swamp buggys snatching on it and could not get it out, her husband owned a local construction company and ran to his shop and brought back a Giant trackhoe on a low boy and tied it to the reese hitch and had the truck suspended in the air getting it out. it tweaked the bed up on the truck pretty bad but it fired up and she drove it home.
