MacGyver has nothing on us!!

Lori came with me to Boulder Creek Farms outside of Austin for a HUMMER preparation trip for a dealer customer appreciation. We found some cool trails to take these guys through. We also had some minor issues that I thought you guys might get a laugh out of.

The pic at the bottom left is how we sheared a valve stem and had to get all MacGyver on the truck. We didn't have chewing gum or any duct tape so Lori dug through some of my stuff and found what you see below in the pic. :)

Yep, that's right it is a glue bottle. We jammed that sucker in the sheared valve stem hole and got it back to the dealer no problem. We had some additional breaks but that is not as cool as the valve stem. Just a CV Joint or what is known as a half shaft.
