    I got all of the strip lights installed but ran out of time to wire a new switch. I wired them to my ditch/fog lights for the gulches trip. I'll post pics later in the week.

    The rain got me today at Gulches. I ran this trail yesterday (Palmetto Crossing) without issues, but today I slipped off a ledge and broke the driver's side CV axle. Had to winch out. Should be a nice drive home missing a few wheel weights. 87a11db3df8151b7d4f47f800a396464_caf26a00f59c25b2b75b58ced0609b37d5aab60c.jpg

    Rock lights survived the week and weekend at gulches. Now to separate them on a different switch and add the lights to the cap. Also need to replace the CV axle and hub I think. 6d8043e0ee1bbf67fa5e2c3dbbb2a5f4_c16c722bbc699cd28fc1d06b79c98b11258e86ec.jpg

    And mount the new spare.... 90066d5782690896c7c4d8f99d290cb2_00fbf56ca85d40973d1bf34f68e636ae88670da8.jpg

    Woot! Spare looks good up there!
    That's the same exact place brains axle broke.. I have a set of IFS hub dials if you need them, if yours still operates id roll with it, doesn't seem like it wouldn't.

    I got my trunnion eliminators in today so just waiting on shafts and wheel bearings and mine will be going again.. oh and also may or may not have sourced a s/c and some 36's iroks :cool:

    The dial works but the gasket comes out when you turn it. Also the other piece inside the hub is trashed. Found the whole hub assembly at a local junkyard for $75. So I'll order some new gaskets and snap rings and put everything back together when my axles come in.

    Local junk yards were a bust. They would tell me they had the parts, but when I showed up they only had add crap. Finally ordered these hubs used. Need to get gaskets and snap rings and put this pig back together. 39e85585ba5d0c6a4bec0ed0e2c58f68_b58c39832bfca3b679fe1d05362a22007fb5bb0b.jpg

    A guy had them on eBay. Cheaper for the set than ordering the pieces that I broke.
