    Lmao... ya, but the article specifically accuses the "offroaders" with lawlessness and the raves etc.

    I can tell you, unequivocally, the people involved with that rave had nothing to do with offroading.

    I love how hunters and offroaders are always accused of the negative behavior that causes problems in the woods.

    When hunter and offroaders are more often than not more concerned with the condition of the woods and the roads, campsites, and everything in the woods... than the bleeding heart, hemp panty wearing, snowflakes that are writing the articles, accusing us of the nonsense.

    Taking 50+ sedans through that 4-inch deep creek crossing has to count for something. That's probably, like, what... half an overland point?

    Hold up. They author had his bumper hit by a maniac in a Jeep.

    So the author gets like two overland points.

    The rave people get an STD.

    It's being towed to the shop on Monday... Otherwise it was going to get towed to an orchard and set on fire.

    So... We're replacing
    LCAs (with bushings and ball joints)
    UCAs (with bushings and ball joints)
    Inner/outer tie rods.
    Both CVs

    And now I think I'm going to order pitman arm, idler arm, and idler arm bracket

    Got most of the tear down done, pressure washed the wheel wells, got the LCAs and UCAs in place.

    More tear down on Jen's truck. Pitman arm, Idler arm, Idler arm bracket, and drag link removed.

    Had to get the Pitman arm off because there are 3 spline or 4 spline for her truck. Needed to find out which. Also, the pitman and idler connection was really wobbly, needed to find out if the holes in the drag link were ovaled out. (they weren't, so I don't have to replace it)

    Also found the nut holding the Pitman arm was bearly finger tight, and the Pitman arm wasn't even pressed on to the splines... if that nut would have fallen off, the Pitman arm would have fallen off the steering box... and no steering :eek:
