Not much of an update but I figure I'd post it. I flattened the Ford Econoline van seat belt at the end and trimmed it, drilled it, and then re-bent it to make it long enough as the stock one. I also had to split the sheath about halfway down to get it back in then I wrapped it in electrical tape to keep it together.

So for $3.48 and a little time I have a replacement buckle. It beats the $45.99 for a replacement.

Well I went to Morris Mountain ORV in Delta, AL this weekend. It was a lot of fun but my buddy kept breaking his CJ.

Here's a few pics. Most are of my buddy. He took a couple of me and there is one video of me but I don't have it yet.

Us at the campsite.









The not long after we got on the trail the first day my buddy slid down into this hole when he was trying to go around. His clutch linkage came loose so it made it interesting getting back to camp. It was also the second time that day his clutch linkage broke.







Here is me on a trail called the Gauntlet. I wasn't stuck but definitely in between a rock and a hard place...pun intended.



Then I came up to a couple of rocks. I went around after slamming into them.



My buddy had snapped one hub the next day. Here he is about to snap the other and it blew up.



First hub.



The other hub. This was done after my buddy blew the other hub. I unlocked it and we kept riding until this happened.
