@midwestracer Its been holding up great in the last year or so. It wheeled Windrock for a week, K2 and Wolf Caves a handful of times, Arizona for a week, Hot Springs a few time and its been holding up great for the most part....until i windowed the block in the LV3. It was my fault. I bought a...

Looks like a solid parts list for sure for the price. You can probably put the D44 with the ARB on marketplace and have a good chunk of change for a 9" front axle. Check out 609 axle builds and start with a 9" front housing with some 05+ super duty outers. Put some 39s and aluminum wheels on it...

Whats the theory about not overlapping in a higher ratio? I know im regularly not in Third/Fourth L when doing anything technical. And im only in high on the park roads. I figured 1st/2nd low range are the most important crawl ratios to look at. Just curious.

I like the new ones he just put out. They are slick.

What chassis did you go with?

Mine is a simple panel with 3 gauges (water/trans temp and oil pressure). The plug on the bottom is a usb charging port that also shows the volts, so thats my volts gauge. I also can use an app on my phone that uses a OBD2 bluetooth dongle to an app called FourStroke. It lets me clear any codes...

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

Selling it?

I would like to report that i have successfully wheeled two full weekend without my transmission pump exploding. Hopefully my days of blowing transmissions are a thing of the past. We spent the long holiday weekend wheeling some granite at Wolf Caves in Mason. Good times were had. We only broke...

Did a little front end refresh with some patina fenders. It really changes the look of the rig and i love it. I may end up fitting a hood on it as well.

Its about 7 for us. Its worth the drive. Id say you can hit all of it in about 3 days. Good thing is that Clayton is only 45 mins away and you can hit up Green Aces as well. Similar rock, but RMR has bigger stuff and nice water/RV hookups. Id make a week out of it and hit both parks.

RMR trip report. Transmission pump has help up so far. No issues there. I bumped up the pressure in the shocks and for once, the didnt bottom out or settle. They are now sitting around the 4" uptravel mark which i feel is perfect. No breakage from anyone in the group which seldom happens...

yesterday i picked up the rebuilt TCI piece of shit converter from a local rebuilder. Its now true on both ends, so hopefully no more problems. Last night i got the trans and t-case stabbed back in. I will let the RTV dry today and add fluid tonight to see if everything works. Its 95% put...

Good call on leaving out the door bars. They suck to work over/under.

Picked up my trans from my new rebuilder. It actually has a billet pump in there this time.
