That is awesome, is this somewhere in the pines?
Edit: saw your insta post, you gotta show me this one day

 

Penguins are bitchy, also, -90F before wind chill.

 

Ill take the spair tire hoist.

 

I have about 5 years and on set o uni balls on my TC.

 

That’s Impressive

 

Bout the same here

 

That was supposed to say my 2nd set of uni balls.

 

How did you know they needed to be replaced?

 

Thay started making a lot of noise (creaking)and you could feel play in the tire.

 

@Tatts521 I like ball joints over uni balls.

 

8 months on PS and 10 months on DS

 

Cool. PM inbound...

 

First symptom is that steering feels wonky. Jack up front end and verify slop.

 

I was gonna say..

Uniballs are super easy to do... but I did use JBH's premises and press to make it even easier

 

I don’t remember TBH. I bought a lot of stuff all at once.

 

If I were to do it again, I think I would’ve stuck with Ball joints. Haven’t had any trouble yet, buy I’ve only had then since Spring.

I’ll try the upgraded Delta joints next. Probably just do it proactively this Winter.

 

Anyone interested in these frame box plates from JeffzOrz? Ended up using the DMZ plates.

 

I owed Jim @Lux and Jeremy lunch.

So took them out to the great outdoors.



Best seat in the house.

 

Went wheeling with lloyd today, was pretty fun, found some new trails and new obstacles. Also got a chance to do plenty of recovery practice. Lloyd needed to be winched twice and Jeremy needed to be winched twice.
First trail was some nice rock faces, wound up being a dead end, but nice views at the top.


One of the tightest spots

The second trail we took also ended up being a dead end but we decided to blaze a new trail to get down to a larger trail below. We debated on a handful of options, Jeremy took the first line and hung up on his diff and drag link and needed to be winched back up. There was no way we were going down this route.

The other route was much better and Jeremy and lloyd had no issues getting down the rocks (pictures don't make this look very difficult )


At the end of this new trail we had some trouble taking a left turn, even Jeremy had to take a 3 or 4 point turn. Lloyd ended up going a different route but needed to get over a large log, got high centered and needed to be winched up.



Found our way and went down a familiar trail

Rocky bypass that some of you may remember. Lloyd got high centered on sliders going over this, may partially be due to poor spotting We used Jeremy as an anchor and winched over it.



Kept going and discovered some new trails but it was about 1pm so I wanted to start heading back soon so we could get home before the sun went down. We looped around and went down to a kinda muddy area, didnt look like it'd be much trouble.. But Jeremy took a nosedive and got good and stuck. Lloyd winched him out from the top of the hill and we decided to just go back the way we came.


Came out to some more familiar trails and headed out, lloyd took an interesting line on the way up. Jeremy tried it but I don't think it'd be very easy if you weren't locked. Lloyd handled it with ease.


Overall fun day of "light wheeling"
