10-8-2017 I took the Trail Jeep to Sugar Creek for the second time and the second official wheeling trip. It was a fun day, Cherokee got hot a couple times so we had to stop along the way but it was fun.
The last obstacle I hit was the deep hole I ruined my alternator in the last trip, but there was a lot, LOT, less water so it turned into gumbo. Needless to say the Jeep got hot again while in the hole (over 2 minutes in the hole) but the gauge was all over the place so I couldn't tell exactly how hot.
Well, it ended up almost pegged and it blew the upper Rad hose, cracked the driver side radiator tank, and it seemed it finally blew the wicked head gasket. Don't know 100% yet.
