The Lair

That sucks. Have you sent them an email yet? But was one of the worries I had with mine. I weighed getting the elockers but at an extra 600+ for 2 it's crazy money and there are some downsides looking at the ARB to the elocker side by side.

 

ARB redid their seal design, the supplier, and material to supposedly eliminate this issue. I would reckon you are right with installation error.

 

No not yet. I will tomorrow when I'm at work. For me the biggest con to the harrop e locker was how it momentarily unlocks if you roll backwards. In a manual, I'm going to be rolling back all the time.

I hope it actually fixes it this time. I've seen this song and dance a few times now.

 

.packs pitchfork and torch.

 

Yeah the rolling back thing without actually using it or seeing it in person I won't comment on how that works. I was speaking more looking at the way they lock up the Air lockers are more robust looking at the cutaways and the break downs.

Yeah I questioned ECGS when I was pricing mine out and they assured me they hadn't been seeing issues since the "remake". I also did a lot of research on that too and it seems with both the ARB and the TJM they can be finicky on install so it could of been a slight misstep in installation too. That's what one shop was seeing a lot of "repairs" for ARBs not even from their shop but others was misinstallation.

Fingers crossed that's all it is and it works out seeing the horrors of the leaks and talking to some guys that have had the issues it is always something that's on the back of my mind. I know it's not something you want to be mucking with all the time.

 

We can agree to disagree!!! Kudos on the merch acquisition!!!!

 

You'll want one when they arrive. But for you no merch!

 

T-minus ___ weeks???

 

3 weeks from tomorrow!

 

Winch is pulled and ready for its new home. I was able to wiggle it out without dropping the bumper, which was nice. I also noticed cracking at my hood pins. That’ll be an easy fix though, just weld some steel there to beef up the area. I’ll probably do that tomorrow.

 

Almost there!

 

No kidding. She had an appointment this morning to check on progress and everything checked out! So we continue to patiently wait.

 

Core support cracking like mine but I don't have pins.

 

Luckily this is the only place up top that it's cracking, and it's directly around the hood pins. It's also cracking a little behind the headlights but that's patchable. At least enough to slow it down.

 

So, where you wheeling this weekend!?!?

 

I wish I could make it out to @3pooches this weekend in the worst way but I would be such a dick if my wife went into labor without me because I'm off wheeling.

 

Yes sir we wish you could as well, but family first man. You got awesome Events on your horizon that will put anything else to shame.

 

Psh, I'd rather be wheeling than dealing with no sleep. Asking for a friend, is 2 months old too young to hit the trails??

 

I figured you worked an out for Betty White Wheeling into your marriage vows!

Shiiiiit, I am finally making out because the wife agreed way back when, since I missed the prior invites while prepping for, and awaiting the birth of our girl. No way I'm backing out, since the wife and baby backed out, I'm rocking this outing bump hand and all!

 

I tried at 3 months...and again this weekend and she's 9 months and a week give or take.

At this point the wife is more apprehensive about the multiple hour drive to the trail head(s) vs. the actual trail riding time and bounce/rough riding, and then of course the multiple hour drive home.

To be fair, my wife was originally pumped as August was passing quickly, but between the daycare crud, ear infection and now being busy AF with work, she went ahead and took a pass and is instead doing the pumpkin picking with our nephew and my family...
