    I'd like to do it this weekend but if I can't get one or two others to come along then I'll wait till next month when we're all free. I'll do Rowher/Drinkwater solo without batting an eye but no way am I doing MJT on my own lol.

    yeah but it's probably changed a bit since last year and it's a lot further from civilization than Rowher/Drinkwater...if something were to happen that would be one long ass hike and recovery. Plus it's more fun with more people :fistbump:

    Regular sqweeks are probably the uniballs. A sound im very familiar with by now.My truck sounds like it is falling apart so I'm hoping it's just the bushings.

    Down there is Southern Utah there's a few places I know that would be awesome to hit..

    Logandale Trails - Logandale, NV - some sand dunes, sand trails, and some slick rock crawling. about 1.5 hours north of Vegas
    Sand Hollow - just outside St. George - Sand, and tons of slick rock crawling. 2ish hours north of Vegas
    Toquerville - Just outside of Zion NP. pretty easy dirt road trail but awesome scenery with an awesome swimming hole and water fall. 2.5 hours from Vegas plus you can go check out Zion while you're right there.

    All of these places - if you're conservative, I'd be comfortable going out there alone.

    Or say f-it and bomb up to Moab.

    It's probably bushings then. I discovered when I was replacing my CV from grenading it on MJT that my front wheel bearings are in less than ideal shape so I ordered new ones this morning.

    Yeah I think we'll probably plan for it early next month and get a solid group out there. I should probably do some maintenance on my truck this weekend anyhow.

    Sounds good.

    I got my exhaust reroute done two weeks ago (thanks @glorifiedwelder) and the rear @Pelfreybilt skid mounted up last weekend.

    Then I broke down this last weekend and ordered a @Pelfreybilt front bumper with hoops because they are having a sale. It will be 4-6 weeks before I get it though.

    My "excuse" though is to put all the go slow stuff on first then the supercharger.

    Going down miller? I know the spot that's at the bottom of it right after Lockwood or Lockheed or whatever that pre trail is called. Cool little spot. 2 keeps were camped there last year when I went.

    I'll be off the 25th to the 29th, definitely want to get out and hit some trails with hard stuff. Let me know if you stay in town and hit something local.
