August 14 - 17: CORE Harlan Ride * DISCUSSION THREAD

[Krawler00]

Everyone needs to remember to buy their beer or liquor local too!

NOT LOCAL TO HARLAN. Nothing for atleast 60 miles of the place. I think Todd and I hit them all...

Sweet... somebody needs to bring a drone

I keep going back and fourth on the dji vision+ but the 1300$  is not passing the wife just yet.  I would really like it for the tracking feature.  You set a point on the vehicle and the drone will follow it...like up a steep rock climb or a crazy descent.

Did my oil change yesterday and was spraying down my CA joints. Found a rear upper CA Krawler joint that had come apart. Quick pic and email to RK and I should have the parts to rebuild the joint this weekend. Other then that, I'm going to ride this trip out with a known leaking l/r axle seal. Not in a position to buy new axles just yet and don't want to throw good money on an axle shaft I'm going to replace/upgrade.

I think I fixed the squeak tonight!  It was self clearancing, but I just pulled the part and cut it down with the angle grinder and cutoff wheel.

I put new clamps on the radiator hoses...which I hope will stop/reduce my antifreeze/coolant loss. 

Finished the spare tire carrier build, now it has two coats of primer on it.  Tomorrow i should be able to get some paint on it. 

I decided to not put on the driver's side lower control arm mount since the factory one looks to be in good condition..for now.

I may switch to the Synchromesh transmission fluid before this trip...only time will tell.

Leaky seals will continue to leak for this trip.

Syncromesh performed like a baus in my nv3550...it's worth it

X2. It was nice and smooth.

I just went through that before the chocco ride. Both sides leaking plus recent upgrade to bigger tires pushed me to some ten factory shafts.

That too is the reason I'm going with the upgraded rear axles, If some things go as planned, I see 37's in my near future.
