Great riding today. I’ve never seen conditions that perfect at Morris. Highlights for me were one-shotting V notch (most of us did) and gauntlet in 3 wheel drive. Related - wiring for my front locker was too close to the steering shaft and got eaten up. Thanks Wes for helping me trouble shoot!
Only overheating today was when I spent a solid 5 minutes hammering the center line on Los Primos. Finally made it right before it started to be an issue.
Didn’t get many pics this time since I was busy either fixing my wiring or hitting obstacles. Great day!

I do t think I’ve ever seen you drive that slow. This is different!

Yes, Clarke CAN be a good role model.
It is a difficult adjustment for me.

Don’t be mistaken. Dave was hitting it hard with a huge grin on his face all day!

Rear tire slipped and found a really big hole. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190922/9f9c22c83b2639c280ea0df02b8b42b9.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190922/3aef76c304ae636285a38e1437efd66b.jpg)

Tripp, it could have been worse. Glad to see it wasn't hurt.
Thanks for buzzing my kids around the park. Now Georgia wants one. Lol

Sure seemed like that LJ only had one gear and one throttle position; is that because of it being an automatic? I'm pretty sure I've seen @Jeeptrk move his tires a bit faster.
Did you swap to TSLs?
The driver's side ORI took a while to let the tire drop out at one point, maybe it was at full extension???

Not enough power to get it spinning any faster unfortunately. 20 more horsepressures and I would have been up it a lot sooner. Hopefully by this time next year I'll be supercharged or have added 2 more cylinders.
As usual videos don't do it justice but that's the center of los primos, the bottom has dug out and the angle was enough that my d ring mounts on my rear bumper were touching dirt so I was lifting that front tire coming over the first ledge

Oh, so now you and @BlueJew are going to super charge...y'all should throw a SUPERcharge party and get them both done at the same time. I'll SUPERvise.

Just curious if anyone got any photos of me in Sandrock out there. I really enjoyed wheeling with yall, wish I could have stayed longer, but maybe next time.

Anyone know know much of an issue is this? I assume it’s just a dust cover?

That happened to mine, I assumed it was just a dust cover, but it did start flinging grease after that from that area.

Both of mine are similar to that now...I expect the shaft to stop sliding at some point...gonna be bad when that happens.

Usually that means you’re done. Or she is.

You can pull the shaft apart and push a new cap on.

Get a shock boot & throw on it. Secure it with zip ties or hose clamps.
-
I ripped the boot/ grease-cap off of my rear Woody & just rubber malleted it back in place. The zerk had been depressed into it & I had to put another one but still holding for now , if that helps ,Travis
-
I'm not sure if that's similar to the stock JK front DS but my daily driver did that in Cali 2014. I got a spare stock DS and haven't worried about it since, maybe if it goes out one day i'll find out how bad of an issue it actually is.
Your's obviously looks like it costs more haha, so I'd just get underneath, see how much grease is coming out, pack it back, and use a fat set of hose clamps/zip ties to keep it in place for now, contact the mfr and see what they can offer you warranty wise.
-
Wouldn't expect it to be warrantied. I'll probably just clean everything out really well then tack the cap back on

You can fix that with a roll of duct tape. Its just a dust cover.
-
If you can't fix it with duct tape, it ain't broken.

I always thought the saying was "if you can't duct it, F*** it, it's broke"

This is Gabe. He is a good friend of mine. He had a crew that was supposed to be riding with him that day but they all bailed on him. I told him to ride with us so he did. I have been trying to get him to join and start riding with us. He has a cool little buggy. Ford 5.0 with Toyota axels and reds. It works good.

Nice! Surprised the axles hold up, but that rig must be light
