Thanks. No Ohio or Pennsylvania. Iowa seriously lasted 15 minutes. That would’ve been an epic trip in the wagon. Every time I wanted to complain, I remember my brother Dylan driving his ‘55 17 hours to Moab and back. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Hit up OBX today. Even saw the wild horses on Corolla beach. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Well I finished up my cross country trip. I had to go to Norfolk, VA for school for 4 months before heading to my new job in Bangor, WA. Jeep did well. It was a slug obviously. I could still do 70-75 mph. I averaged 11.91 MPG. Midwest and Eastern side killed my gas mileage with all the rolling...

In other news, I’ll be driving across country to go to school in VA for my upcoming school. I’ll be there for 4 months so hopefully I can do some east coast wheeling. Gulches or Uwharrie maybe? Also just recently got a new tow pig. This will help with the increased camping and outdoor...

Rotated in the spare. It’s sad putting a brand new Nitto on the Jeep. Also painted the fender wells. I like the look better than the body color. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

So for the last 6-8 months I’ve been living with my ABS and traction control lights on. At first my programmer was saying it was the rear sensor. So I replaced that but the code came back within 1/4 mile. So I chalked it up to my Artec tone ring setup. The hub must be machined to accept the tone...

Went ahead and upgraded my winch to a Warn Zeon 12k. The M8000 is a great winch but with my Jeep around 6k lbs I felt I was on the edge with it. I bought the steel cable one and just swapped over my synthetic line. The winch barely fit on my bumper. Also got new plates too. Sent from my...

A few more pictures from the rest of the day. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

The guy that followed had a super nice Ultra 4 Jeep that he had out at KOH last year. He used his HP and flat belly to make it pretty far but he broke a trailing arm, pulled the rear driveshaft out and bent a coilover and bypass. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

It’s been awhile since I’ve hit the trails but WA opened up recreation areas this week so we went to Walker Valley which is north or Seattle. Definitely packed but wasn’t bad. Jeep performed well and I was surprised to get 17 mpg on the 2 hour drive up. I do need to adjust my front bump stops...

The tire in the rear of the Jeep has been nice but it makes hauling the kids around difficult when it comes to car seats. Plus I want the extra room back. So I’m working on putting an EVO carrier on. The skin installation wasn’t bad except for the part where I hit a tree. The sheet metal wasn’t...

Looking to plan my next big upgrade. I’m torn with going for a long arm setup because everything works right now. Sure I would love a smoother ride, less axle swing and better manners when driving over obstacles but the mid arm is working well so far. I do lack power when crawling the bigger...

Most recent thing I did was finally hook up my e brakes. When I tried to hook them up during the summer, one of the springs was rubbing on the tone ring I installed for the ABS. So I bought a hardware kit from a 2005-2011 F350 which has a spring made to go over the tone ring. They work. Just...

Another project I put off for three years now was installing my Painless Trail Rocker. Never really needed it but with this COVID-19 going on I had nothing to do at home so I decided to install it. Taking the doors off is convenient. I didn’t really add any loads other than the heated...

Here’s a few real world test photos. Caught up with Litebrite and Dirtlifestyle on the trail but a fitting came loose on my ram and I got a bunch of air in the system so I didn’t get a chance to play. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Did the flex test to check all the clearances. At this point I’m limited by the 10” shock travel. Long arm is planned for the future and either ORIs or Coilovers. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Another upgrade I needed to do was to move my track bar bracket forward on the frame. My track bar would hit my diff. I bought and welded in a new bracket from TMR customs and everything clears nicely. The next two issues I didn’t foresee. My rubi sway bar came in contact with the new...

Next upgrade I did was Hydro assist. I’m hindsight I should have just bought the ported big bore. At least I was able to sell my old box. I also wish I would’ve done this upgrade during the 1 ton build because I would’ve designed the steering setup with the ram in mind. The DIY hose kit from...

As I sit stuck at home I realize that I haven’t updated this thread for a bit. I went on the first snow run this year with the Nittos. They didn’t disappoint. Snow was a little less this year than it was last. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
