I do. Les Schwab is 5 minutes down the road and an interior patch is a little more permanent.

Great shots in the snow. What PSI were you running in the snow?

Thanks. Initially I was at 10 psi but later dropped down to 8 psi. The big lugs just didn’t do well on the ice. I never got stuck but was slipping and sliding more than others.

If you’re going to be in conditions like that all day, consider chains. They make a huge difference.

Yeah, the ATs always preform better on the ice. Thanks, that’s what I had been running as well.

I’ve done a few snow runs and didn’t have much of an issue but at the end of the day the conditions changed and left me sliding.

Loving the EVO tire carrier so far. No rattles or vibrations. Thought I would hate not having a swing gate with a supporting bearing but it’s not an issue. I might make some provision to keep the swing from swing all the way out on a slope to the passenger side.

Those are extremely solid carriers. Great shots too out in the snow

Had an air line relocate itself to the exhaust manifold on my last trip. Lost my rear locker and of course I didn’t have a repair kit on me. I had the 5mm one for the blue line but since I went to tons, everything was upgraded to the black line (6mm). Went and bought a couple of these fittings. Good to go.

Headed out to Elbe Hills this weekend. Decided to try the infamous Boat Ramp. I’ve seen it on videos and pictures but they don’t do it justice at all. Huge climb with big boulders. I spent almost an hour navigating up it to only have my air compressor fail at the last part and was unable to get anywhere with no lockers. Had to winch the last 5 feet to the finish. Also smashed my tank some more. Now every time I hit a bump the diff cover smacks the skid. But I have a new aftermarket one lined up which will add a couple more inches of clearance.
I tried to just send it here a couple times but my rear yoke kept smacking a boulder.

Ripped off the compressor. During the climb, the tone completely changed in the compressor and it was producing no air.
I tore it apart and found that both bolts that attach the connecting rod to the motor concentric were sheared. I called the ARB tech line and they said this was common with the older generation of twin compressors. That bolt has since been upgraded from a 6mm to 8mm bolt. They said it should be covered under warranty. Hopefully I hear back soon.

Looks like a challenging course. Great pics. Hope the compressor is replaced or repaired soon thats a bummer.

I had the exact same problem with the compressor. ARB didn’t even bat an eye at it and sent me two new motors with in a week.
That climb was awesome, that was a hell of a line! Great pictures

Those trail pics are awesome. It make me think of the pacific northwest JK Experience videos that Eddie and Cindy did. I've never been up there but it looks so amazing and the videos made me want to visit. Your photos just re-enforce my desire to make that happen.
