Maintenance Jan still has some rattles going down the road (it's not clearance with the control arms like I thought.), so I thought I would do some maintenance on the front axle. I did all of her ball joints and unit bearing assemblies on Friday: I was kind of hoping it would make...

Awesome truck! The right hand drive manual trans would take some getting used to, but I like it.

Took Butters out for some cold weather camping last weekend. Nice quiet day in the woods. I woke up to everything covered in a layer of ice from the freezing rain overnight. Glad the new winter gear was warm enough!

These represent my feelings toward bushings pretty well I think...

Here's the finished bushings and the new adjustable arms to boot: The vibrations are gone, but now there's a new rattle (at all speeds) that I think may be a clearance issue with the beefier arms. It's at least off the jack stands, which is an improvement from last week!

I Hate Bushings. I've been feeling some drive line vibrations lately while accelerating at 35-45 mph. So a couple of weeks ago I took a peek at my front drive shaft and control arms and saw that the bushings were a little worse for wear: Two weeks later and now I'm about finished... I hate...

Here's a better picture of the leak (this is the one I meant to post):

What is this and how should I stop it from leaking?: This is looking up behind the radiator. Oil cooler? I was changing the spark plugs and noticed the line was loose running up the backside of the radiator, so I zip tied it back to the broken clamps. Then noticed the fitting on the bottom...

The brakes have been sounding pretty angry since the muddy SMORR run this past weekend. Finally got around to deep cleaning them today. When I pulled the caliper off all this gunk fell out including that little rock (caliper bolt for scale). I'm guessing he's been the one that sounded like a...

Ha! I'm the same way... "You've spent the whole weekend in the garage!" "But I saved $150!!"

Got mine from Utah. Quicker than I expected.

I installed the Synergy drag link flipped recently and like it so far. I had a titanium step up bit that maxed out at 7/8 which worked perfectly for drilling the knuckle. No flopping with the new one. I definitely need to add more bump stop though; I only have 2" (with 3.25" of lift) and at full...

I think it was time to replace.... And I got a tonneau cover because I'm tired of cleaning remnants of trees out of the back after hitting the trail.

Drag link flip is in. Had some help from my 1 year old boy too :) Poor kid will never be able to save money with that enthusiasm LOL

Nice one! I'll call with mine at the base of Cedar Mountain outside of Moab, UT:

Still sifting through the 300-ish photos of SMORR... Here's the rigs going through the tricky part of Vnotch:

I looked at it from underneath and it's definitely hitting the bracket: So moving the stabilizer won't help. Thanks for the suggestion!

I need some advice; I noticed at SMORR that my turning radius seemed like it might be a little less going to the left verses the right. I looked at the front end a little closer this afternoon and saw this: You can see where the drag link is hitting the stabilizer. It hits about 3/4 of an...

Anyone need any trail spares or parts for a cheap project?

Then I really broke it in :)
