Almost got the big-tire-60 run in. Next year.

If you need to weld but don’t have a hood, I can confirm four sunglasses works well. Five would have been perfect.

I busted out the same window on the rubicon trail on the first day of our trip. Had to ride like that for 4 days until I got a replacement shipped to moab.
I think I saw you Friday coming up the paved road. My friends jeep was broken down and the guys in a white 60 stopped to help. Anyway, looks like you had a great time.

I hope you weld better than Stevie Wonder ! HaHa..

Ha, that was probably me who stopped. I remember that, that's funny.

Yeah, I saw you parked at the cabin a few times, next time say hi, I'm usually all over at camp running around working on everyone's broken trucks

How bout if you use four sunglasses AND you squint?

Great meeting you. I like your rig(s)!

The big wins from last week.

1. Skid plate. Used it a bunch and it was super nice to be able to just turtle slide over stuff.
2. 37’s. I’ve had them on for 2 years now but this is the first real wheeling on them.
The jump from 35’s definitely made a huge difference from having to really slam the truck over the majority of obstacles on a black to trail to only one or two. I think this will actually make a big difference in parts breakage long term.
3. Grizzly locker. Nice and quiet and strong.

No because I haven't shipped his replacement yet, lol

I took the drivers rear door glass out to pop the caved in door out and replace the bent window track and decided to replace all that weatherstripping so now I’m missing that glass as well

The rabbit hole..
I have my passenger side glass from where I pulled it to install the slider. Would it work for the driver side? It seems like it would.

 

[dad4x4]

If so, you are welcome to it

Those look like some very tough trails dude. If it looks gnarly in the photo, that means in real life, it is really gnarly.

Maybe look into a Plexiglas replacement so when.... I mean if.. you break it again, it's easier/cheaper to replace?

I just can't believe I just read all 112 pages of this thread! probably because I didn't
