When leaving Tuesday AM, Don and Earl headed out for Loon but didn't get more than 50 yards from camp. Don's air system stopped working - no lockers!

It took a group effort and about 30 minutes, but we found two blown fuses were the problem. Tom had a couple extra fuses that we swapped in and got him on his way.

We left camp after 9am and were at the springs by 1045. We were at the staging area at 1245. We only faced one group of 4, and two atv's on the way out. A clear trail made for a good pace.

No one from our group broke, but some did have body damage.

It was a great run and a lot of fun. We needed Larry there to give Earl a run on the horseshoes!

Oh yeah, horseshoes was a blast. Only one a single game though, but took the reigning undefeated champ in the process (Earl), then Tom took my glory away again lol It was a balance thing and my beer needed to be half full and I let it go empty. beer

Thought about that for a while actually. You thinking about doing anything with your front end to support the added weight?

I already have the CTM's. I will have my knuckles and axle shafts cryo treated and install a ram assist to help turn the tires. For my tracbar, I will run a lateral brace for the bracket extending to the opposite side of the frame. As far as the ball joints go, I already replace mine yearly.

I just meant that if he can pull off running 40s with a 44, he's the man. Of course, we all know how he drives, it'll be a time bomb 😀

And the Rubicon damage reports keep coming in . . .

Don said his steering wheel was a little crooked since going on Rubicon Round-up so today he came over and we took a look at it. He bent his drag link at the threads for the adjustment sleeve.

We put my spare stock draglink on for now and he's considering whether to get a new OEM draglink or the Currie steering that I recommended.

No reason to go back to a stock one. I think he already proved that it's not up to the task.

That's what I told him too. The problem is he gets an employee discount on Mopar parts. He's got other things he wants to get for his Jeep too so I suspect he's going to go cheap on this one.

The only way to get good strong steering is to have it custom made.
