Did anyone get a pic of you coming through that spot with the 210 lb ballast hanging off your tie rod ?

You can see you monkey-barring in the video. Truth is - I had absolutely no idea you were doing that. Pretty brave on your part given my propensity to just throttle out…
Great video Mac.... Puts the day into perspective.

From personal experience, if you don't get the oil out of the intake like they did when you spin it over with the plugs removed there is not enough vacuum to suck the oil from the intake into the cylinder heads to blow it out. Then when you reinstall the plugs and create a vacuum it sucks the oil through the intake and it locks it up and you got to pull the plugs again and do it all over. Just spinning it over for a long time before reinstalling the plugs seems to work, but after watching that video I will definitely pull the intake and TB and clean it out like they did. If you flop on the drivers side and it sits for a period of time it seems to be an issue, not so much on the passenger side. Just pull the PCV lines and intake off the TB and see if you have oil there, if not you should be good to go.
This was a fun recovery and then to get it running again. There was only the two of us there also. It was @ Area BFE in the main park but I don't remember the name of the trail. Wasn't much damage.
I just watched this for the first time. Great job editing Mac! At the 31:25 point when basket tried to out flop JMT and then followed by the oil shotgun was great! That oil pop was friggen loud! Good times!
Did anyone bring their wife to Moab that didn't get a coffee mug from me? I have two hot pink tumblers left that I found when I got home. Free to any spouse that was on the trip but didn't get one.
oooh pink...
I mean, I have a wife and 2 daughters (none of whom were there) and one of them would love one!
I'm not allowed "access" to @macleanflood videos and yet again not getting notifications on the thread. Dang!
One trip to Moab and I'm banned!

Wait till Blaine bans you, then you'll feel lonely
And it probably doesn't matter how many Wizard stickers, lip balm, and receipts I might have.
