Angry Killer Ditch in Waiparous Takes out H2 CV's.

Here we all are, ready for a picture perfect day of off-roading at Waiparous Trail #131 known as the: Waterfall run. We met at Cochrane Ranch parking lot at 9:00am and departed from there. We then headed for Waiparous main staging area known as the Gravel Pit. Then it happened.... Greg does a very simple run through a easy small smooth fine-gravel ditch and comes out with no boo boo's...I'm thinking...Kool ! My turn....same run as Greg...but suddenly several loud "BANG BANG" noises from the right front of the truck and low and behold...my inner CV exploded! Holy S..T!!!!! Was I pissed off!!! This was the absolute beginning of the trail and I didn't even get to take my truck out into the real trial!! End result...$485.00 towing bill...$1,650.00 bill from the dealership the replace the faulty part. Total days expenses...$2135.00.

This was going to be my real first off road trip and ended up being a monsterously huge disappointment, we wasted over two hours trying to get the flippin thing off just to find that we didn't bring the proper tools in the first place, on that there is only myself to blame. A HUGE thanks goes out to Greg and Jeff for all the help they provided. I guess the biggest disappointment was that the dealership charged a hell of alot for a part that should really run around $500-$600.00.

Here is a few shots of the damage and the killer ditch (Greg with his H1 is posing in the ditch) that screwed me in the first place.
