    They worked fine.. until i hit the powder areas. Don't think they make any big enough to float on that.

    Found a bowl that was avalanche ready! Had some cracks, ready to roll.

    What type of trailer did you start with? I wouldn't mind using @Squeaky Penguin welder to make a little off-road trailer, especially since I have to bring all the baby stuff with me now.

    Someone abandoned it at the RV storage peace I worked at. It was some kind of utility trailer. All I've done to it so far is just put bigger leaf springs on it. Didn't have any type of floor or bucket on it to begin with.

    It's about 4'x7' without the tongue

    The shiny could be left-overs from your last failure. Typically it should only be a dull grey color from the facing of the gears coming off. The camera could be making false shine also

    There are small shiny particles in the shit on the drain plug, but not as much as first failure. So I’m guessing that could be collected from last failure. There was a shit ton of bedazzle in the axle housing when I swapped out the failured diff (used 3 cans of brake parts cleaner to get it out).

    So this fluid is 3500-4000 miles after initial 600ish mile break in. Swirly picture.

    D73BF7C5-00BE-4FB1-90C4-DDED59B490F0.jpg


    I guess I’ll change fluid again in 500-1000 miles / or if I get any noise I know what it is........

    Not overly thrilled about the working part.

    But if I can get the property purchased then I'll be ready for more travel. If it doesnt work out then I'll be doing some epic travel. :bananadance: *If I can find the free time.

    Eh, I’m over flying anywhere for a while. After being a flight medic for many years, and the way the airline industry is now days, I prefer to try not to fly anymore. I really enjoy driving and has always been my preferred method of travel.

    I was really wanting to finish up my road trip. But now that I'm shy'ed away from that after getting fucked on what I put into the Taco, I'd rather collect some passport stamps. I'll still explore SW Utah at some point when it gets a little nicer out. But only had Aruba before that passport burned up. But once I get the new one, its on like donkey kong since there are always awesome deals. Nowhere in particular... just anywhere. Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, I'd like to check it out. Track day on the Nurburgring, watch the Isle of Man TT, ice caves of Iceland. Would've liked to get over to Switzerland this season but I know I'd probably kill myself even though my friend is a ski instructor there.

    I hear you on that! Myself, Wife and 6 month old kid enjoyed the road trip to Atlanta way more than flying to Florida for Christmas. Airports and plane rides are no fun with a baby!
