Post up your trail repairs (with pictures or it didn't happen). Lets see your inner MacGyver
RR Classic
A buddy calls me up and says his front pinion bearing let loose and they are 4 hours from home (Window Rock/Monument Valley AZ)
I tell him to remove the front drive shaft, pull the yoke and bearing out of the diff and seal up the hole to keep debris out and the gear oil in. The cleaned it up with Simple Green and Gorilla taped a section on a Pringles can over the opening. They drove home that day with zero issues.
Two weeks ago we were meeting up as a club for a 3 day BBQ. Yes you read that right, a 3 day BBQ and yes alcohol might have been involved. Anyways I get a call from a friend that his 300Tdi motor threw a fan belt and he is 40 miles from our campsite.
They had pulled the alternator due to the pulley coming off and that is what shredded the belt. We split the belt down the middle and double nutted the pulley back on after wrapping the alternator shaft with electrical tape to keep it centered.
The truck was driven 40 miles back to camp where the next morning we installed a new alternator and a new belt.
