I didn’t get pics of winch hill 4 because we kept the rigs moving. I felt it was a very “pinchy” section. In double low 1st gear there were times I would give it throttle and it didn’t wanna move without some more throttle then normal. I’m sure my drivetrain appreciated it!
Winch hill 5 had us...
Now I’m up to date! Just got back from fordyce last night! We have been trying to run this trail for like 6 years. Each time something happened but it’s all over now.
We started at eagle lakes and ran the full trail.
I was kind of surprised at how easy it was from the beginning of the trail...
I have bent about 5 or 6 1.5in .25 wall tie rods. These are kind of “standard” heavy duty tie rods for solid axle setups. I keep bending them. So I have contemplated many options and I went with “stressproof” material. It’s 1.5in solid bar. Another guy on a forum kept bending the same tie rods...
We ran into some cool Argentinians near buck. They are doing a 1 year round the world off-road trip. It was cool to run into them. I had a bunch of pics on my phone but they are gone.
We made our way to rubicon springs after buck and then headed back to buck to camp.
My buddy’s grandpa kicked...
Here’s my sister on soup bowl. First time driving the rubicon but she wasn’t afraid. I wish she had some more fear
Around soup bowl the UTV broke a tie rod. Luckily he had a spare. Very shortly after he broke another tie rod. Without another spare we searched for solutions and luckily I had...
Ok, time for an update on the rubicon trip. I had a blast! This was probably one of the more relaxing trips I have had in the past couple years.
Some trips are non stop wrenching or bad weather or whatever else a trip throws at you but this was the perfect amount of camping, wrenching...
Not surprised! The shorty’s don’t like the twist as much as the longer axle shafts.
Maybe it’s time to build an equal length housing so I run two long side axle shafts
So the hummer hasn’t been wheeled since March, I wheeled my brothers Jeep in April at Moab but wheeling has been sparse this year with the wedding. Now that it’s over it’s time to get my shit together.
So there is a debate on Eaton HO72 strength and 14 bolt strength. Both are very strong...
I watch Rory, I like his videos. Much more raw and to the point. Matt’s seems a little click baity.
Rory is amazing, front digs, the way he maneuvers vehicles, etc. it is truly amazing!
