Trail was super nice this weekend, rain quit shortly after starting which killed all the dust and made some parts more challenging and fun. We came across the Rock Zombie party and got to see a bunch of toyotas flop over which was an unexpected surprise. Chevy broke a rear shaft in the 14 bolt...

Rubicon is badass. 10/10 highly recommend

All loaded down and ready for the Rubicon run. Ended up ditching the tent but keeping the rack, I have so much stuff packed in this little truck.

I hope I don’t have to use it, but I’m pretty stoked about this spare idea my driveline guy whipped up. It’s a telescoping ag implement driveline converted to 1350 ends. It can be cut to accommodate any length, so it can be used front or rear on any of the rigs going on our trip. Probably...

Oh ya, thank you.

Will probably make me flop over lol

Rubicon prep has me getting creative with space savings.

40s cleared. Pretty much ready for our upcoming Rubicon trip.

They do a bit and will be clearanced. But I did some gnarly trails this weekend and checked it out at full bind and it didn’t seem bad.

Finally got a set of 40s for it. I hope the fenders survive. They are significantly narrower and it drives nicer.

While replacing the shackles, I found the hangers to be cracked everywhere. Surprisingly these were in stock locally. Will likely fab some up later.

Custom shackles from Max at Built industries. The cheapo ones were hitting the hanger pretty bad under compression.

The hope is that 40x12.5s will tuck into the fenders like the 39x13.5s with minimal cutting.

Since I got this thing on the trail, it’s always ran a bit hot and has overheated a couple times. It’s been getting better with every little thing I’ve done but still borderline on hot days and I’ve wanted to move the trans cooler out from in front of the radiator for a while now. Well, the...

Not yet, mocked up some tabs and cycled it. But was worried if I bent the tie rod enough with it mounted it would hit the housing. Now that it's further out of the way I will revisit that. But so far I rarely feel like I'd benefit from it on the trail.
