Howdy All
This happened a week ago :
ā¢ DETOUR was all packed and ready to join Mark, a fellow jeeper for Saturday night
and bushwacking, when my phone rang around supper time
ā¢ Joel , another buddyās teenage son got stuck with their ā57 WILLYS pickup in a āpredicamentā
ā¢ dressed in runners, shorts n tshirt , Joel had this sheepish look on his face, because he hadnāt told anyone where he was goin and he just so happened to have cell service ....
ā¢ there was no need to rub it in
ā¢ DETOURās tranny Is on its way out ( synchronization mechanism for 1st and 2nd gear got flushed out of the tranny, at the last oil change
and the gears popping out with a terrible sound 
)
ā¢ our trusty WARN 8274 had all 150 feet of cable ( minus 10 wraps ) stretched out in a single line with both Jeeps hooked goin uphill over a greasy trail
ā¢ returning home in the dark, past 11pm , I was in no shape to join my buddy who was tenting 30 minutes out of town in exactly the opposite direction from our recovery mission
ā¢ to keep the excitement goin, I drove up beside his tent the next morning before 6am and woke him up with a blast from the 20ā long airhorn that I plumbed into the air reservoir on the LJ ( weāre still friends
to this day)
ā¢ needless to say that it was my turn to whip up hearty breaky ( including doin dishes).
ā¢ another memorable Jeep-trip under our belts
DETOUR Overnout
