Ran Payette Draw today. Well, I ran it up to the last couple ledges then turned around back to the bail out return road. Did some forest cruising. Then hit the Old Country Inn for wood fired pizza and beer. Some of the best pizza in AZ.

Great scenery and lots of juniper trees.

Great pics. Any more feedback or insight on the transfer case with under drive gearing? Thanks

Sure. It is a huge improvement and makes driving fun again. Has been better in all situations. The lower low range is great too. More controlled crawling.

Hit this milestone.......

Went to Jerome Saturday. First stop was the Douglas Mansion which is a state park museum now. There's a ton of cool things to see. Here's a couple little gems. Old wagon, cool tiger oak leg on a Brunswick pool table, and a nice ore cart with a view of town.

Then we hit the trail......Smiley Rock. Giant alligator juniper tree, cool hide out for bears?, the famous rock, small cattle pound at the end of the trail.

Up top in the forest about 7000 ft. Cool temps meant good sleeping after grilling some steaks. Some pics from the viewing area.

Thanks for taking us along on all the adventures

Been too long since I have been out. Went for a forest cruise this morning. Was nice and relaxing. Temps were great too....in the low 80s on top of the mountain. Now I am home and it's 110 out.

Went for a nice fall cruise up around Mt Union. Checked out a couple old mines. Some narrow roads with even narrower spots due to fallen trees. Great day.

 

[JackA]

The way out....

 

[JackA]

Log fun

 

[JackA]

Went out yesterday hoping to find some snow. We started out in the high desert and headed up to Mt Union.

 

[JackA]

Then Norm decided to test our recovery skills.....lol

 

[JackA]

Once free, we head towards the summit. We stopped at an abandoned train tunnel from around 1900. Shortly after that we were starting to find small amounts of snow.

 

[JackA]

We found about 6 to 8 inches of snow left in the shady areas.....less on the southside of the mountain. It was just below 40 degrees up top. We hung out and threw a few snowballs. Then headed back down the mountain. Great day.

Do you happen to remember what rear coil springs your kit came with?

They are the OME heavies. Don't remember the part number.

My guess is 863's
