I almost forgot that Wes had to winch with sticky 42s on the camp access trail Thursday evening when we went back early to look at my buggy and move some meat to the fridge.

From what I recall:
Tony- overheated/fan relay issues
Justin- overheated
Wes- front locker and hub issue
Clark- 2 hydro line repairs at the pump
Pat- transmission seal failure (guessing)



I also had a brake caliper fall off on the way back to camp Thursday.  You were winching Wes when that happened.  I hate the Kingpin Caliper set up.  I lost the slide and spring from the bottom, no idea how that happened.  Had a spare so was able to fix it.

That list of issues sounds like a lot, but honestly, I was real impressed with how we were able to hold up...that park was amazing but also brutal.

I will go back, but it will need to be spring or fall.

Just pick the best pics from this ride and put them in the calendar. Amazing stuff. When I bob and dovetail my JKU with 43” sx’s (after winning the lottery) I’ll join y’all for a trip there.

There are "bypasses" in most places but even the access trails wouldnt be kind to anything under 37s IMO.

The nearest town is 1 hour away, and if they don't have a part then OK City is 3 hours one way.

I also have a starter signaling issue, and one of my amps fell off the mounting surface, but kept working. 

Justin nailed the requirements and expectations.  Ticks were everpresent.

This place definitely looks freaking epic. That pic of Clark standing on top of the water is the best. @8lugLJ how did the cooler hold up in the heat? I still want one of these pretty bad.
Most LCOG Builds are like a fat girl in Yoga Pants, just cause it fits doesn't mean it works...

well worth it, we all put the lunches in it to keep water out, ice never lasted to whole day.
