Bridgeport OHV trip - June 25

I got lucky. I blew out the alternator fuse (which is a bitch to replace), one 25 amp fuse, one 15 amp fuse, and a 10 amp fuse. The test drive was successful for everything except the radio. I will dig into the radio issue while I finish wiring in the e locker switch. I am just glad that nightmare is over.

I messaged the park to find out how much rain they received and how much it is holding still.

I got in a hurry and put the battery cables on backwards basically.

The park has not responded but the rain per Wunderground is they have received 1.17" of rain. That should not be bad for up there. Now I just need to finish the locker wiring - nothing is being simple today. Rain chances for tomorrow are dropping so I am still up for it. I will probably get there between 8a and 8:30a.

@unevolved it should be good there open or not.

Wait I'm confused... Did you already swap the elocker axle in?

Great weather and the water was pretty low. The dirt was still pretty set an inch or so under the top soil so soon as you started biting in it started slipping around.

Setup a Gallery for all the pics; anyone should be able to add pics to it.

I have some more pics to upload from my sammich makers's phone when I get home from washing all the mud off the 4Runner.

@italynstylion @unevolved So that rock I plowed into and got hung on did more damage than I thought to my RCI skid. I am probably going to shoot them an email with the attached pics so as to give them some real world feed back. Back story is that I was coming down a pretty steep incline and ended up plowing right into a rock - it stopped all forward movement and had no budge to it. I reversed out and went around it. The rock did not appear to be that high but I found out I was wrong.

In fairness I would have expected a metal skid plate to have taken some damage too.
