haven't messed ...

with the brakes lately. I did hose them off when i did my lockers front and back awhile ago, about mid April, have not driven it till today.

I inspected all the brake lines, and that was my first instint, that i had crushed a line wheeling this morning. lots of logs and brush. so i will start there again now that i am off the hill.

on a birghter side, my 8274-50 winch handled me nicely, as i got stuck on a muddy slope right at the edge of a 25 foot drop off, wheel were just 15 or so inches from the "oh no" part.

But, i made it out.

one more thing, when the front lockers are in, the power steering is not real good.
