Looks like Saturday will be very warm so hopefully it will soften up during the run enough.Yankee Hill update - the trail is ICEY! Myself and a friend made it all the way to the top, but he's in a locked bronco and I needed to use chains on the front end to get all the way up. ATRAC alone didn't cut it for a fat 100, but the guys with front and rear lockers did make it without chains.
When you say you made it all the way to the top... not just the parking lot, you actually did Yankee Hill? Did you go down through Alice? or could you have?Yankee Hill update - the trail is ICEY!

Bill's Englewood? I think they sent me home with yours today, they mixed it up with my 80 shaft from the sounds of it. I'll be taking it back first thing tomorrow morning. I started using Jim to lessen confusion and see what it did for me?!@nakman Dropped off my front driveshaft to be rebuilt almost two weeks ago now and it’s not done yet. We’re stilling aiming to come, but if the driveshaft doesn’t come through in time it’s probably a no go - I’d be one-wheel-drive. Fingers crossed.
You can still participate in the training stuff with only one driveshaft. Unless it's snowing or something I'm sure you'd have driven there in 2wd anyway. You wouldn't make it too much further though obviously... up to you, hopefully you guys get this sorted!Yeah, Bill’s has mine (or HAD mine). The one you got doesn’t fit or what? Mine should have three new u-joints, clearanced yolks, and a longer slip shaft. I can get in touch with them tomorrow.
Thanks for the update. I didn't hear anything about bad ice - that's good. I've been wanting to see a Bronco Sasquatch edition in action.
It's almost always icy up on yankeeI think the problem is that the bronco was the wrong vintage.
Didn't realize it was icy. Not sure how the mud tires are going to like that. Maybe I will bring imelda and chain all 4.....
I don't remember it being that icy last year other than the 1st little hill.It's almost always icy up on yankee
I'm like 99% sure @J1000 pulled me out of that exact same spot last year. I ziged when I should have zaged.Was icey enough to let me slide backwards downhill after a spirited attempt and mash my (already mostly wrecked) bumper into the bank. Once I got the chains on a single axle, I had no more issues. Chains on all four would probably be overkill but would certainly maximize control!
