just got home around 9pm His rigs off the trail and back on the road awaiting AAA....pics in a few mins Marv recived another beauty mark in the bed of his truck! We ended up draging him down off the trail with straps steering up.... wouldn't turn to the right....got the wheels straight after a bit of tugging on the axle.... and that pin (like stevo's) broken

We org. got the axle pulled back into place, but as we tried to move it to straighten out the wheels it slipped back....(didn't have all the goodies Stevo had to hold it in place) Battery was dead as well, along with a pop and small trickle of power steering fluid that followed, after the first attempt of staightening the wheels...
all in all it went pretty good i guess... Marv got to drag him around a bit...lol and he had AAA to come out to get it once it was on the gravel road..... *Lucky guy to have a rig left up there for 2-3 weeks and nothing broken/stolen from it....*

well I just got home and Bill pick up 8-)Emma from becky watching her so Bill could go with me to help AND A BIG THANKS TO YOU BILL and you know why and way I guss the rig has been there for 2 weeks with befrend breaks but when we got there he was about 75 yards from the gravel road the Axel had broke the pin holding the axel in place. so i looked and what we had to do and what was around no way to call in a nother rig to help so drug out my chain and tree saver and bill headed up the hill to behind the k5 got that secured then moved to the front hooked strap to axel and to my truck then pulled it back in to place tighten ubolts (that were loose befor we started) then we fund out the battery was dead so had t cut my tree saver (dont forget you owe me one kyel) then got in hurry moved my truck down and out of the way to find out the stearing was loocked up could only turn left a littel so told him to try and cost it down the rocky hill to only have the axel slide back agian i forgot to have him chain the front end back so the axel would not slide. by this time was getting darker and more tired so backed back up hooked the strap back up but senc i cut my tree saver had no way to hold the back end to chain it up so had kyel hold the breaks and left it in park to only drag him at that point told bill to tell him to let it roll I am draging him out like that had enough room to pull his front end over away from the tree got to the bottem shortend my strap to yank the frontend back on the trail andnt hit the trees. well got on the gravel where the tow truck could get to him and made the call to tripel A to find out it was not his trippel A was his grandmas card so had to wait so the could check it out finally got it all set up was 8:00 at this time so Bill and I headed for home senc the tow truck was on the way. we did try and get it farther down the road but dont think we would have made it around the right turn with out one of us going for a rough ride so pulled him in to wide gravel spot so the tow truck culd not say he had to get his tires durty so there is a nother charge. and Bill got pics he said he will post befor he goes to bed and yes got a nother tree hugger mark in the tow rig almost lost my tail light was close and thanks that offerd to come help
