Rocky Mountain 87 Burban build

Looks like you have been having a lot of fun Rooster! I hope someone had a spare bolt so that you could get your rig home. Super cool that you have your whole family involved with your 4by4 hobby. Keep those pics coming. It makes us all want to get out and go wheeling!:wings:

Little Red. I have a 4 speed manual not an automatic.

That is actually rare to see in a suburban. I have only seen a couple with manual transmissions and I don’t think any of those where stock either.
I now just noticed your signature says 4 speed Muncie, my bad.
I always thought that they quit making those somewhere in the mid seventies though.

Nobody had a bolt that size but another group had a spare u bolt. It worked to get me off the trail and home

Nice quick fix Rooster! If it gets you home, well then it rocks!:ylsmoke:

Last year alone I went thru 3 Driveshafts. That's why I want to change out transfer cases to a 205. Unhook it and drive it home as a front wheel drive.

Holy Cross is a great trail, You will want to camp I promise you! Also take the hike up top to the lake, worth it. That trail offrs so much, I need to get back there again!
