Have you been hitting any trails? Mud? Rocks?

Wondering if you have, or if you're just waiting to complete your build before doing anything.

 

The bumper work and suspension put everything on hold until after the lift. I plan to do some over the holidays when my kid comes to visit.

I did some right after I installed the Harrop, wheels, tires, and rebuilt the front end. It was the usual Ouachita Mountain trail mix of smaller rocks, creeks, and mud.

I need to extend the XFER case and rear diff breather lines before I take on too much water.

Almost everything around here is old logging trails that get bulldozed every few years.

For the bit that I did, I didn't even begin to challenge its capabilities. The only thing that will limit me is the size of it getting into tight places

 

Pretty easy $250 for doing something I woulda been doing anyway

 

Looks like some pretty badass scenery

 

The good part is I'm roughly 1 to 2 hours away from just about any OR adventure that I would want to go on. Not bad to go out not worry about running out of fuel.

A 3 to 4-hour drive will get me to MO or OK to more serious OR parks and camp instead of driving home.

The funny thing about going off-road and owning is rig for me is it's like owning a boat. You take it out for a fun weekend.

They when you get home you need to clean it up.

 

Rig like that should come out here to CA; tons of areas to explore with beautiful weather to boot.

 

I would like to make a trip out west. Maybe I can pull it off this summer after covid settles down. I've never been to CA or out west. I've been to AZ via I-40. But that's as far west as I've been. I've been all over the northeast and Canada. That was just traveling around when I lived there.

 

You've got plenty of TW members out in this area if you ever head west.

Just don't expect to hang out with @Sperrunner as he's just a tease that'll lead you on and leave you heart broken after a date or two.

 

So you're saying he goes cold on you?


Typical refrigerator person.

He should really focus on fixing his cold heartless heart

 

LOL. They would be fucked if they didn't have autotuner.

 

Cold cold heart. Hank Williams.

How can you fix that which does not exist?


There is only a milwaukee 12v battery there.

Here's a sad situation that just happened with one of my 100 series friends. Axle studs broke loose with a spacer. Totaled out the rig.



Crashed into the center median concrete. It took some frame damage. No idea about the bumper.

I think a bumper with crumple zones may have done a better job of protecting the frame.
