Re: Craziest thing you've done to "just get home"

My list of "fixes" is very long...

40 years of four wheeling in Arizona breaks ALOT of parts!

My most proud "fix" was on my CJ5. I broke a rear spring about 30 miles off of the highway. Most of the trail was 4 low, and very rocky. I chopped a nice sized tree into a 2' long log, with a small hatchet. I then " borrowed" about 20' of barbed wire from the top of a fence. Strapped the log to the frame with the wire, so that the axle would rest on it ( doing this will result in looking like you were in a fight with a badger). Wheeled the 30 miles back to the highway, and drove the 120 miles home with no issues. The next day, the log was worn about 1/2 way through, and so was the U bolts that hold the axle on.
