    Normally, I'd be in on this... just too much happening elsewhere right now. I have land and a camp up in the imeadiate area, perhaps future runs can base out of there(?) as the road is a maintained class 4 at that point. My wife and I were up there this week, and we did a quick run up to the second power lines on the Sucker Pond Trail. The trail becomes much rougher and slower going at that point.. Mostly dry, but still, some large puddles and mud holes along the way.

    Getting to the end and realizing everything is wrong. Thats the best feeling isn’t it? Two weeks ago I put new Dakar leaf packs in. Snapped two u bolts getting everything out, walked two miles to Napa for new U bolts. Buttoned everything together Saturday night and realized while pulling the jacks out that the top shackle bolts were in backwards and everything had to come back off. I adjusted the bolt length with a sawzall instead.

    I have my u-bolts upside down, shackle bolts backwards?
    I don't understand, maybe I just burned out some more brain cells:bananadead:

    Top shackle bolt needs to go in from the spare tire toward the fender, or else it is too long and makes contact with the the mount when you load the spring.

    Alright guys, I’m camping out tonight, and I’ll meet up with y’all tomorrow morning. Not sure if I’ll have cell service once I get in the woods.

    Well I know what @Blais03 is doing but it's the day before....
    Is everyone busy working on truck stuff?
    Or just cramming their weekend off on working on random things in 1 day:rofl:

    I actually cleaned my engine bay out:bananadead:
    That was a hot mess.
    I didn't think it was that dirty until I was working on it yesterday.
    Note to self- clean engine bay before doing work:annoyed:

    I just got around to trimming my new ubolts from installing my new leafs also. No sawzall blades on hand and couldnt run out on account I was at home alone with the little one. Got 5 ends cut before I ran out of dremel cut off discs. Going to have to be careful tomorrow given the three I didnt get to.
