A few final pictures from the run in April.
This guy was asking where my hubs went. Haha.
Ive been lazy lately now that it bike season, but got some time in today. The screen in the feed line of the powersteering line was clogged, which would only allow about 3/4 turn of the steering wheel in either direction before squeaking and fluid loss out of the cap.Cleaned it out and were good to go again.
And did some trail scouting. Each one of those ledges is about 2-3' tall. Going to get a trail cut to this spot soon..

Thanks guys! Friends and I cut the trails. There really isnt a lot of open to the public wheeling in the North East, so most wheeling is done on private land and the few and far between off road parks. The April pics are from friends property, and the pics above are from my parents land.

Changed out the front leaf packs for a different ruf pack and did a little cruising around tonight, have a couple buddies coming over sunday to do a little cut/wheel day.
And I got a little stuck...
Should have some good photos after Sunday too!

Always a good time! Only got about an hour of wheelin in before the front ring and pinion decided they were done. Ive never check the ring and pinion part of the diff, felt good so I ran it. I have a solid spacer kit on the way and ill re build with other 4.10 parts I have.

Welded up a new (to me) 4.10 and did a little testing.
oops.
Had a heck of a time getting the drivers birf back in for some reason. Had to take the dremmel out and do a bit of fine clearancing to the inside of the knuckle ball. Not really sure what that was all about, but im pretty sure that inner axle seal is gonna leak now.

Tested the cage this weekend. Not on purpose...
First pull pulled it back up onto the rock, we held it with the strap, repositioned winch to pull it back off the rock and up, and it went back on to all 4s. Self recovery. I wasnt driving, a buddy was while I was supposed to be getting a video, but I failed at that.
My fiance was in the back though. Took it like a champ, its not really her first roll over...
Lost a little oil, PS fluid, and antifreeze, but not enough to stop us, so we bush whacked for a few hours.
Heading to the off road park where I blew up the IFS diff in the beginning of august, I think Im ready!

Thanks BC! Ill do some real testing this weekend. Heading out to do a little camping/wheeling in Southern New Hampshire. Should find some good spots to really test the truck.
Put some time in last night making sure the truck was ready. Greased the drive train, put a wrench on everything on the suspension, made sure all my recovery gear/tools were in order. I have a new PS belt to put on before I go, but that wont take long.
