When looking at the pics, keep in mind that Sean (in the Amigo) was running around all day in 2WD!
His story off of the MWIOR website... "The Amigo had a bit of a rough day. The engine wasn't in its prime and it seemed like I just wasn't getting good traction on anything. Things that are usually no issue were tough and I was having to throttle into things more than the other vehicles and I'm the only one with a locker. Toward the end of the day in the quarry, the answer became evident. When I got hung up in a spot, I noticed neither front tire was turning. I left it in 1-Lo so the drivetrain would spin while I got out to investigate. Front driveshaft turning, front driver's-side axleshaft turning, front driver's-side wheel NOT turning. The hub was locked; so my conclusion at the time was a busted outer stub shaft. 8 years of romping on the truck, I couldn't be mad about an axle finally jumping ship. I found the true problem at home. Apparently the inner gear on my Aisins had cracked, mangled the snap ring, and wedged it into the teeth of the outer gear. So basically I only had rear-wheel drive all day and didn't realize it because I blamed the snow/ice for poor traction. Fortunately I had bought a hub rebuild kit on Ebay a few years back and the Amigo is now in good shape drivetrain-wise. Still not sure on the engine. I definitely credit my drop diff brackets for CV's continuing to survive my level of abuse. And I'm thoroughly surprised at how well it got around now that I know only the rear wheels were getting power."

ISUZUs rock! We all had a great time, and hope there will be a bigger turnout at the next event. Enjoy the pics!
