shot of north area of "big dunes." (where my sprocket cracked in half) :lol:

Now, some bad news. Day two, we were out riding and I checked my chain as a normal precaution...noticed this: missing bolts. I though that was a little weird, so I putted back to camp and replaced with some new bolts. Rode some more....gone again...sheared right off. I had smoked the carrier bearing. YIKES! :help: So we replaced the carrier bearing and the sheared bolts, left one in there that was sheared. Rode all night thursday and mosy of morning when "crunch"  no forward movement.  :(  Sprocket cracked and sheared the rest of the bolts. Found a Jeep to pull me back to camp (embarrassing). Took rappy to town to have bolts drilled out. Got a new sprocket and chain. Long two days!!!!!!!!

bolts gone from axle twisting when I would give it power and bearing shot, I assume.



Notice anything missing?



what a bearing should look like when you remove the carrier.



what the other side looked like  :(



good one on the left, bad on the right. WOW!
