I deserve that...

 

Definitely NOT geared towards overlanders. Been a few times and while there are a few mild trails, there are some more serious sections that require a certain amount of "finesse" to overcome. They typically open up to the public during different events. The last event was the American Adventurist Rendezvous a few weeks ago. I don't remember when the next ride will be. Typically pretty affordable to be a part of. This is me at that most recent event.

 

So you've been there huh. How are the trails compared to URE. That pic doesn't look too horrible I'd of kept all 4 on the ground

 

me too...soon

 

I seen vids of the guided tours for overlanders that they're spotting over every pebble, most of the time it's bad lines, supposedly to teach skillz.

 

Would of never guessed that.

 

Do share, please! We can all

 

Too much effort and I don't want to support overlander views. I want to see more from that guy above!

 

Welp I get all of the modifications done to the truck... and now I think my new JBA upper A arms, the balljoint specifically, is popping up a storm... Can I just go trailing at some point without issues lol??

 

Worst that should happen is the Balljoint would seperate or the whole balljoint removes itself from the A-arm.. No harm no foul. I know JBA has been very helpful with other issues of rust, make sure it's the balljoint and send them a message.

 

@zippsub9 are you in this weekend?

 

I just setup a trip with my parents to Buggs Island on the border. My son is out of year round school right now so the grandparents setup a trip.

 

Ya I hit them up and we chatted about it, they are just gonna send a new balljoint out and see if that fixes the issue. Fingers crossed so I can go get the truck dirty again and not have to worry about breaking somewhere.

 

Good thing about the UCA ball joint, you don't have to do anything special to keep the spring from killing you. Just unbolt it and swap it in!

 

true i just dont want to have to take everything apart again and then go get it aligned.. again :/

 

how old are your uppers? I have some JBA's ready to go in, but if the ball joints are going bad after wheeling trips, that is a little concerning IMO.

 

@SearArtist They are legit brand new, I installed them two weeks ago ish, the next week after install I heard the popping, and now it wont go away despite tightening the castle nut like a mofo.. may be the shear bolt up at the top in the bushings but im not certain. They just said they'll send me a new balljoint regardless. Im gonna try Hulk Hogan'ing the shear bolt nut and see if its just the bushing popping around for some reason.
