    That long travel flex though. Did you need the front locker much at all on this trip?

    It actually wasn't the tire. I bent/cracked one of the wheels. Must have done it earlier that day out on FIM. I noticed on the highway vibrations I didn't have before. Beating on it out in the dunes was allowing just enough pressure to escape from the bead as the tire was spinning. I sent a photo to @SCSPerformance of the wheel shenanigans and we've got something new up our sleeves :spy:

    Truck got beat pretty hard this year. Harder than any other year, so I've got a few things to fix. Cracked the skidplate under one of the gussets. Need to hammer that out and run the squirt gun over it. Also the coolant overflow popped out of its stupid bracket and pissed coolant all over the engine bay...and then the overflow bottle rested on one of the pulleys and wore a hole all the way through the size of a quarter. 4 coats of quick set JB weld and it's holding just fine. I'm not even gonna get a new one. Lastly...I've either got a vacuum leak or something fishy with the supercharger. I'm only boosting up to 4 psi.

    Most use it's ever got. To be fair...I did some trails/lines I had no business being on with 33s. But the RDP did fucking awesome.

    Thats right i forgot about the coolant bottle!!! I gotta run that flat iron mesa u guys were talking about. Sounds like a good time. Next year! As for the vacuum leak, do you have a light on or no? A big leak should throw a lean code....

    FIM= Flat Iron Mesa.... Ok, that was a fun trail. It is the first one I did when I was in Moab. The guys broke me in quick with that trail. I tried the steep climb but I didn't make it.
    The big Boulder on the passenger side and the squeeze was defiantly and eye opener for what kind of wheeling to expect in Moab. Fun trail for sure.

    It's also the trail that claimed Michelin mans tire. :p

    Gotcha. I saw it was moving (at least some) when I was manually manipulating the throttle body under the hood. Truck's still parked since Moab...had to return to the whole being an adult thing this week.
    Thanks for the tidbit.

    Bypass valve was fine. Ended up being the belt slipping from its bath in coolant. Cleaned all the pulleys and rollers and installed new belts and good to go again.
