    I heard the same thing! They switched their suppliers. They had changed back when I got my rear locker put in and I haven’t had a single issue. I’ve heard nothing but good things since they switched to a new seal provider.

    @TacoAlaMode had a pump issue and his is brand new. I just feel the electric is a simpler more reliable system. Just my thoughts tho, may or may not be. And that Choccolocco, us bama boys favorite park. My favorite is hawks pride but Choco is close

    Yeah Chocco isn’t my fav. Hawks pride probably for Alabama, AOP/windrock are tops though.

    I sent mine back twice with the seal issue, the last time they told me they used ARB seals from Australia, their original supplier and have not had any more issues.

    You will only break CVs if you try to do things you shouldn't do. I push them a lot harder than they should be.

    As Matt said it wasn’t a seal issue. Brian had issues with his compressor. It was overheating and would quit working.

    Hale Mountain is pretty tough.
    Hawk Pride is a nice place.
    My favorite is Wheelin in the Country, Turkey Bay is a nice ride too.
    Woolies Offroad is fun if it is not too wet

    It had a lot to offer. Idk so much anymore after all the rain eroded so much. It’s kinda lots of easy, very little intermediate, and now hard hard stuff. Used to be a ton of intermediate to difficult that was a blast. Those trails are rutted to hell and back now.

    Well, windrock is also like 70 thousand acres lol. AOP is super tough but really close to my house, and rocky like I love.
