Hey Guys!! Yes it was an amazing trip! Duh... It was Moab.
And yes normally I would be all over a weekday trip but on the way home a couple of things popped up. I started leaking diff fluid from my passenger front and suddenly I went to turn and couldn't. Luckily I was going slow. Turns out the bolt connecting my Hydro cylinder to the tie rod was missing and when I tried to turn things got bound up. I tried to find a bolt in the area I was with no luck so I wired up the cylinder out of the way and limped home.

Here's a few shots from the trip

Glad you made it back safe. It's good the steering didn't pick a much worse time to bind up.

Great shots there. Looks like a bit of mud just to keep it interesting.

Hopefully I can get out there on one of these trips. Not sure how my schedule is though.

Thanks
Thursday was So Muddy.. I'm just glad it dried out for the weekend.
This may be the last big trip I get to go on this spring... off season is almost over
Time to go back to work and pay for all this fun ;)

[emoji848] Dang, just saw this. Have things I have to do today, might have time Wednesday. What you have in mind? I'm expecting more stuff from brown Santa this week, so depending on what shows up today I may be wrenching.

Don and I are going to checkout Rowher Flats tomorrow. Probably no takers but message us if anyone’s free ... heading out around 7 am from W LA.

Also anyone know how the Big Bear trails are right now ? Would like to hit JB, Holcomb, and or Dishpan if conditions are okay this Saturday . Looking for someone who has gone b4 to lead [emoji13]
