    Idk about your garage, but it's a lot cleaner and smoother than dirt or rocks haha you have a 2012, you don't get seized bolts yet...

    So do you carry any tools at all? Because air tools take considerably less space than battery operated tools or breaker bars.

    This isnt my first vehicle :rolleyes:

    Yes i carry a 1/2 ratchet set that has 10-21 and fits under my seat, and a 3/8 & 1/4 set with 6-19 or so. 3/4 inch breaker bar and a set of wrenches that fit in with the 3/8s box.

    It was alright. It's still very new so Kansas Rocks or possibly SMORR is still better.

    The problem was that all of the actual trails were wet. They looked fine but as soon as your tires went across them they gummed up immediately. I thought I was pretty much stuck a few times.

    The people working there are cool and polite. They directed us to trails that shouldn't be a problem for a Jeep on 33's, two stock Jeeps, and my truck. I didn't get much video or pics. I was too focused on making sure everybody with me was doing good and having fun.

    Definitely planning on doing SMORR next go-around. Not sure when though as I need to do a lot of maintenance on the truck when it warms up.

    Driver side door handle cracked last night. Still usable, but a pain to use.

    Went ahead and bought a couple of OEM door handles since the passenger one has been slightly cracked for a while. Not happy with spending that much just for door handles, but I've used aftermarket before and they're terrible.

    Yeah, that's the way my passenger side is. It has a small crack beginning to form so it's only a matter of time. My driver side one cracked out of nowhere. Opened just fine and everything before.

    Hopefully when I replace them I can get everything cleaned and lubed up to where everything works great on both sides.

    Been spending the past few days working on getting the spindles off so I can get the wheel bearings, lower ball joints, and cv's replaced.

    A couple trips to O'reilly's, an order from Amazon, and two sheared bolts later I got the spindles off... Going to let the shop I'm taking the spindles to take care of the sheared bolts. Running short on time.

    Finished up installing new cv's, LBJ's and wheel bearings. Feels good having a truck that has all reliable parts again... Haha
