    Something to keep in mind. With this storm we just had, we could have trees down.

    I should have a free seat as well. Jamison, you are welcome to ride with me. Let me know if you want to meet me at Fresh pond, or my house.



    I'll probably leave my house around 715.

    Sounds like a plan. I'll meet at your place at 710.

    yikes...at least you know what you're first upgrade should be...are you even going to fix the bad gears?

    Get a Dana 60 😏 The HP44 just won't last in the rear, as you can see.

    I used to wheel a lot. . .

    The shop is fixing the damage so I can at least sell the rear as newly re-built with an OX locker. Pinion gear was missing a tooth and the bearings were shot to hell as well. :gay:

    Dana 60 for the rear and 44 for the front is the plan so far. That's if I can find a place to store it while its a work-in-progress...

    I put mine on before the big rain. Then my sunroof leaked. 🙁

    Yeah, I'm not sure what the long term fix is. I'm open to suggestions. Short term is a tarp. 🙁

    You made it in just before the 5:00 pm cut-off. 😉 We'll see you at Fresh Pond. I'm not sure what our schedule will be but you can leave for home whenever you need to.

    ill try to make it, i always hate going on a trail by myself (i get lost pretty easy) but if i remember right theres not a lot of turn options. last time we only went part way because of the snow and some rancid chili

    I got a voicemail message from Chuck. He says he'll be going tomorrow too but will probably have to leave early. Maybe he and Bob can head out together.

    Any minor breakage? 😀 Was the bypass still closed?

    Minor breakage...Brad's sway bar, and my control arm bolt.



    The bypass was still closed...mostly. We also closed the upper bypass.



    We also tried to get rid of that dead-man's tree...but failed.



    Oh ya...and Rob...BITE ME 😛

    Control arm bolt, let me guess, one of the upper rears???? We need to lengthen the arms and get rid of all that preload you have.
