Elbe Wheelin

Well we wheeled Elbe Hills today. Just me and Plumbrbob

To start the day rob flagged me down and informed me that my ubolts fell off.... wtf almost lost my front axle

So a half hour of crawlingn around in the mud and were off


We ran a few light trails and then


Those of you that have wheeled with me know this made me super happy







So much for self cleaning tires


Youtube's of Rob are in the works

new motor was great no complants great low end torque, BUT I fried a alternator, pretty sure I have a bad thermostat and blew up a rear wheel cylinder on the way home LOL

Well at least I got home on my own power and those things are easy to fix should be all good to go by sunday afternoon already have the alternator out and the thermo housing removed

Hydro assist ram was a pleasant mod no more super bindage with the locked up front

Costco tool kit

I have one.
I love it, not because it's the best, it's not.
I love it because it has been there when I needed it.

It stores flat almost anywhere.
You hardly even know its there, but when you need it, it's there.
