So took a plunge and enrolled in Rally school. Figured it would help improve my non existent off road skills.
What transpired was 2 days of utterly difficult trail!
Rock climbing, dunes, soft sand, hard sand and quite a lot tricks and challenges...
Preparing for some Double Wrench shenanigans with Jonny @js0k tomorrow.
The bat truck no longer belongs to me it’s going to our pal 4Hundo
in Steamboat!
Knucks and bearings.
Brakes and calipers.
Part time kit and spool.
Snappy wobble socket...
The 80 belongs in these places, i'm converting it back to all wheel drive why on earth would any drive it 2WD in Egypt is beyond me. The idea of only having 4wd if central diff is engaged is such a waste.

Swaped my secondary battery with one that holds charge.
The touch screen audio system stopped working. It has power but blank screen.

Snow wheeling around Christopher Creek, AZ.
