What would cause the rear passenger wheel to seize up
after doing a few stream crossings?
Happened to me a few years ago while wheeling into the Crestone Needle (Sangre de Crista range).
The whole right-side back end would shudder and groan.
(I was in 4lo).
Could also be that stream crossing water froze in there somewhere after camping overnight?
I've been wary of any water crossings ever since.
Anyone else had this happen?

Grease your wheel bearings!!!!!!.... ...and from now on do it after you get home from any trip with a water crossing. The bearings that are in there now are probably toast.

Could also be the brakes are rusty and seized against the drums, especially if you've used the parking brake.
