    Rausch Creek Park (Pine Grove, PA) - 1/14/23 - Open; Vehicles & Skill Levels

    Just to preface this, I am talking about the idiots in our small notajeep group in this. We aren't a club. Just some morons that like to smash our trucks in the woods. We should probably talk about this in person over a beer... but I have only wheeled five times this year. Three of them were...

    Rausch Creek Park (Pine Grove, PA) - 1/14/23 - Open; Vehicles & Skill Levels

    I sure appreciate it. Winter wheeling is my favorite. It gets me out of the house when I would otherwise be sitting on the couch. Unfortunately, I don't have as much time to spend on these forums anymore. And I know this wasn't directed at me because I don't think I have missed one Northern...

    Old injury. Just getting around to posting. I know this happened to a few other people. Others seem to be able to run 37s without an issue.

    So... it took a little while for me to post these. I've been a little busy. Cracked bearing cap. Not sure how or why. Except that I smash it on rocks...

    Does your speedo cluster calculate MPG and average speed? I wanna know about it.

    Nope. I don't think any of the 6 speeds calc speed or MPG.

    Really not sure. The stub shafts don't have really have any play. The pinion gear seemed ok play wise. The case is not cracked. As far as I can tell the ARB is ok. However, during diagnosing the ARB didn't want to lock. It kept pushing air. But then it did lock. IDK. A bad break-in. A bad set...

    @jsexton made it with his own capable hands. It is also his ride.

    It happened while wheeling and camping on a glorious spring weekend so it made it a little better.

    On today's episode of Keith tries to destroy his Nissan: Uh. Slurry diff fluid. Chucks of something on the magnet. Yummy. Thats not right. Thought I heard some slipping early in the day on a trail. Thought maybe it was a bad axle. Later in the day a loud pop on a flat surface exiting a...

    Northern eXposure Run 2020

    Planning to be there. A good way to decompress after the holidays. Also, the first time I took this rattle trap out on the trails was this run almost 8 years ago. Poor truck...

    2" Suspension Suggestions to Increasing Travel

    I spent a good amount of time and effort attempting to get the most of a stock width suspension. You can push the limits, but you will wear out parts fast. LBJ, UBJ, TRE, CV boots. Extended length shocks, aftermarket UCA, small spacer, and detached (or removed) sway bar is all she has got. If...

    Re-installing the front CV-axle

    gobble. Don't remind me. That was terrible. So glad that didn't happen on the trail. I just spay some fluid flim in there every time I open them up.

    A wheel coming off at speed is one of my fears... Glad you made it home.

    Yup. I am still beating the hell out of this thing. I just haven't posted in a while. There haven't been any major changes. I did get a new head unit this spring because I was tired of not being able to stream music. I wish there was a "next step" that made sense but without going crazy, my...

    It's not really a tow rig... but it will do in a pinch. 2012 Toyota Tundra Crewmax with about 62K on it. Big 5.7 V8 with tow package. I love it.

    Lizardking's Minivan...

    So, I have realized that I am coming up on having the 35s for a year. This is not normal. They are a huge heavy tire on a small(ish) IFS SUV. Things are not as happy. I had to bend and cut metal. I had to replace a steering rack and a pump. I am not entirely confident my new rack and pump are...
