Just left the Golden Spike tower in North Platte. 9pm Ft Collins guesstimate

I'm not at the shop to do any test fitting/measuring but the Old Man Emu part# is 110-110-110. The ID and width will be the same as the bolt is the stock part. The OD could vary as some do between manufactures.

Thanks Kurt. Really appreciate you checking. The OD concerns me as the Tough Dog 45mm shocks and struts were bigger IIRC than stock. I got ahold of Trail Tailor who sold me these but Jason said the front bushings aren’t replaceable. He had rears but that doesn’t help.

We drove up to Grand Junction and it still looked ok so we hauled tail over to Slee. It was definitely waaaay floatier on the highway than normal. They’re squeezing us in and I decided to just replace the shocks since they had 75k on them anyway. It’s gonna be pricey but I’m super appreciative they were able to get me in and should be done in time for me to make at least the tail end of the dinner. I think I owe a huge thanks to Amory in particular.

Looking forward to seeing y'all tomorrow night!

To ft Collins. Successful trip. Probably lay low tomorrow, get some supplies and whatnot. If anyone's up for some lunch or anything, feel free to reach out

Shame it wasn’t as easy as some bushings. Sounds like there’s three of us heading out that way from SLC tomorrow morning.

I hope this is okay (slightly off topic). I wanted to throw this out there while we’re all together, just in case anyone wants to chat about it in person. We’re just now starting the unfortunate process.

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that my grandfather, Dr. George Landon Beales must sell his beloved 1996 Lexus LX450. We extend our condolences to his family and the many off-roaders who wheeled closely with him throughout the decades.

Would I still be considered fashionably late just hopping in on this thread now? I am sure I met a number of you tonight. Looking forward to wheeling with you this week.

Great seeing Cole again and meeting Mark! Have a great event! Cheers.

Back to FC after today's failure. Much appreciated to everyone in both Kelly Flats groups who were out. And Matt for stopping while I aired up. No problems on the way back. Cooling down, and in the background is group 1 headed up.

What failed?

 

[PhuckItImDone]

What failed?

Something along the cooling system. Ran hot into the red, boiling in the reservoir. But I couldn't find a leak, anything to indicate where it was a problem.

You just want to go on a Disney cruise next year?

Today's Miller's rock group made it up and down. Everyone agreed it was a legit trail.

Didn’t you smoke an LCA last year?

2 for 2 on first day phuck-ups. Hoping it's sorted for Saturday at the least.

Kelly Flats did not disappoint—slated for Miller Rock tomorrow; anyone who was on it today have any more insight? Tough, but manageable?

Radiator cap not holding pressure?

Radiator cap not holding pressure?

Very well could be, it was boiling in the reservoir, and in the red. Didnt have any problems on the way back, but air was also moving through it at speed then. Fans on, so I ruled that out. Lucky I was able to get it to toyota and they'll ring me in the morning when they have more

Yep, you and me buddy, find Launchpad McQuack, turn all these Oops-a-daisy days into smiles.

Kelley Flats #1, that then became #2, lounging around at lunch.
