We really enjoyed the whole event! The tent zipper leaving the chat when we camped at loon before our run made for an interesting trip but I’ll be back next year! The live band and activities for the kids was awesome!

I definitely need to add some beadlocks to mine! I’m shocked I’ve never lost a bead

Definitely! I think I’ve settled on trying to set them up myself. Was going to have them done but I should learn sometime.

Yeah kinda crazy but I’m assume and know I was very hard on those front gears snow wheeling. So I’m assuming they were ready to go.

Well it turned out it’s a good thing I got those new gears. While getting my new project into the driveway using the winch, I was repositioning the 80 and the rear bound up and acted weird but there was also a couple pops that was odd. I’ll add the rear when I get driveshaft bind it drives the...

I took the cruiser out this weekend for a shake down run and managed to find a good bit of snow. Didn’t take much pictures but it was a good day. Met up with a group in Bend Oregon and trailered to the staging area and we went up into the mountains from there. There was a large group of us...

So true. I took it to bend this weekend and found some snow and it’s amazing how well it works now. Doing the 3 and 4 link before was a massive increase in performance but this is a big bump. I’m super impressed.

Well I didn’t take much pictures but I finished it up today. Batteries were an issue and not really solved other than setting them in and a ratchet strap to keep them in place. But I’m going to go to bend next weekend to do some wheeling and needed to get it done. It’s definitely a huge...

today I stared with notcing the frame. I was gonna just use tube to notch but knowing me this axle will move eventually and I’ll be stuck extending the notch. So I just cut 1” out by about 3” long and played it back in. Next I worked on the coilover tower brace. That was fairly strait forward...

I’m not sure but I ended up seeing another guy have similar issues on instagram along with some Australians who follow me mention they are known to have issues over there 🤷🏻‍♂️. I’d love some treps but I don’t have faith in razrs anymore. I will say gluetred saved the day when the sidewall split...

I moved the uppers out. Basically I just rotated the tabs on the towers out. It fixed all my problems

It actually a sidewall failure issue and somewhat a traction issue. I’ve felt they lack lateral traction. Like to slide off rocks I’m trying to climb. The sidewall failures have been random. Like one on the highway just split and the other was on the rubicon. But there wasn’t anything to cut...

Well this is why you cycle the suspension prior to burning things in! Granted it worked out better to decrease the angle of the coilovers anyways but it’d always frustrating. I went ahead a modified the coil towers and burned it all in. So theoretically I could put it on its own weight right...

Man i am hoping i can get this thing done for that but there’s always the little things that slow you down on projects like this.

So the picture of the tabs was not them finished. Ultimately I had to clearance them a bit more in order to let the misalignment spacers you linked do there job.
