And yes, it was a long drive.
I'm glad I went at night. I don't know what the traffic would have been like with all the road work going on.

The permit for organized trail runs excludes the use of Hells Gate, The Escalator and the hot tubs. If I go in on my own I can use them. They are trying to get it changed but don't see it happening soon.

Every year I see this old road off of the 70 that has an old tunnel carved through the rock. I took the time this year to figure out how to find it.
After 9 years of wondering I discovered not one, but two short tunnels cut through rock.

Front diff needs a new gasket. I need to pull the knuckles and axles, drop the driveshaft and 3rd member to install a new gasket
I should get to it next week. It will probably take me the better part of a day to fix it.
I also lost cruise control on the way home. Need to replace the cable.
At least I didn't break an axle and have to drive all over the place to find wheel bearings
UGH!! I'd come up and help if I wasn't down in Chile all of next week! What a PITA to replace one gasket.
You sure it's the cable or just dirty contacts to the cruise control? Mine lets loose on any uphill struggle. If the cable isn't broken, take the cover off the control box in the engine bay and 'exercise' the toggle arm there a dozen times or so to clean the contacts off.

For about a month the cruise control has been wonky. Seems to over correct the speed, constantly hunting - fast - slow - fast - slow.
Randomly pulled the cover off in Moab. The cable shroud end was broken at the bracket and the cable (still attached) was drooping down. As the actuator tried to control the speed, the car would get pulled tight and flop up. The speed would change and the system would try to compensate. Then it would flop again and try to adjust.
Eventually the cable frayed and a couple of strands started sticking in the shroud causing the idle to climb - and my speed to climb.
I finally cut the cable in Lenwood and finished the drive without cruise control.
So, long story short- I need a new cable.
