Pinon gear on 4wd coming out of the transmission blew apart and blew a hole in the transmission case. Basically my son got into a bit of predicament and when we went to pull/winch him back up the 4wd was bound up and we didn't know it. He learned a very good lesson and I get to pay for it I guess. Oh well at least no one got hurt.

Good morning Jim and Jay! Welcome to Tuesday!

Yeah it's not the cheapest fix for sure. New parts could be 1500 ish. Looking for some used ones currently. I have a line on something from FB so hopefully that pans out.

Good morning Jim and Jay! Happy Hump Day!

We got a lot of rain in hurry at home. Got about 2.5 inches of rain in an hour. In town they had high winds, trees, branches and misc other stuff down or blew around.
