    I'm sure it's been covered but I can't track down the specific tab/page - Do you have recommendations for weekday cruise on easy-moderate trails or forest service roads (solo) off Highway-2 (first choice) or I-90 East? Do I need to go as far as Skykomish (Tonga ridge) or McClellan Butte in I-90? I can leave by 9 but need to be back in Kirkland area by 5PM-ish for work.
    Closer recommendations to get some mud on the tires for a few hours? Thanks for the help! May try and go to tahuya over the weekend. Been around that area a bunch though on the dirt bike years back.

    If you are just going solo to do a little exploring you can always head up Green Mountain just outside Granite Falls. It's a pretty well maintained road all the way up but it gets you out there with a couple nice views if it's clear.

    Drivers side front cv inner boot clamp came off AGAIN!!!
    F!!!,
    I'm done. I'm just going to bite the bullet and get an entire new oem axle.
    Mule is great for everything except boot clamps, and I can't keep going back every month.
    Gonna have to take Kris shoe shopping after this one due to the moratorium on truck spending until I get the pile of parts in my garage mounted.

    Man, this is getting rough. Ok, tree-fiddy and I don't have any bum beer but I think I have an almost full pack of swisher sweets I puffed on and used to light fireworks last 4th of July I can throw in.

    If you have an actual price in mind for the bumper let me know. I'll buy it and hold it for when @Haslefre is able to get some clams together.

    Also, what style clamps are you using? There are some worm drive style ones with rounded edges... idk how those could come off.

    I'll hang on to it for Brady until the warden let's him do some truck money. He's a great guy, plus he helped me install my other bumper, so......

    It is a factory clamp. 2nd try for Mule to make it stay. It's my DD, so I don't have time to screw around, I'm just going to get the oem one installed. 135k on it, so I don't feel too bad about the $$.

    @AWilson013 have you been able to get info/ more pics of tire swing out? I'm swamped with work till after first week of June. But still seems doable in a fairly short time.
