When I was much younger I was in a Boy Scout Explorer post, which was essentially a Jeep off-road club.
Every year we spent two weeks in the Nevada desert, looking for, and finding, ghost towns.
We carried ox-acetelene tanks with cutting and welding heads. We had a high lift jack. We had enough tools to rebuild anything.
On one occasion we removed a frozen Warn all range overdrive, and then welded the spline and gear pieces together.
I have rebuilt manual transmissions around the camp fire. Also rear differentials.
Good thing we had the proper tools with us when we needed them.
As I have said before, most of you do not go where I go.
Someday I will take an extended vacation and run the same trip again that we did so long ago.
