    I saw on one of the Borrego Springs social media pages that they are asking people to stop going there because they are seeing high amounts of traffic through the area. They are worried because a large amount of the population is elderly and Borrego Springs/Anza area doesn't have a hospital...

    I've seen similar PSA's from other places like Idyllwild and Inyo County(Death Valley area)...

    I'm taking the time to fix up the truck, going to be taking the entire front driveline apart to replace some parts. CVJ axles, Ecgs bushing, spindles, and wheel bearings.

    Anyone got the part numbers for the OEM 4x4 hub and bearing assemblies? Trying to weigh my options of whether it’s worth it to go aftermarket or not.

    A few members commented earlier but I'm writing this on the fly. Anyone have the ECGS needle bearing removal tool they could loan me possibly this weekend? Slowly but surely disassembling the front end.

    I know that all the state parks are closed and are asking people to stay away. So would the BLM out towards Ocotillo Wells be the best area to do some wheeling during these crazy times? Just trying to get out of my house. Going crazy!

    According to their website, trails and roads on BLM land are open for use. It's the developed campgrounds and developed recreational parts of BLM that are closed.

    As stated earlier

    Edit: couldn’t be worse than the drive in theaters people are going to, just avoid going to the towns? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m just playing it safe, and enduring the boredom, although, I’m considered an essential worker so I’m not home all day either
