New Tires time to play! (1 Viewer)

[lurch]

Getting the new tires tomorrow, thinking about giving them a test on Sunday in the Puerco....anyone interested?

 

[krecon1]

What time? I may be - will be working Sat night/Sun Morn, so perhaps early afternoon or real late morning.

 

[Voodoo FJ]

I could probably get out there by 1:30-ish for the afternoon. Would that work?

 

[krecon1]

130 would work for me.

 

[Voodoo FJ]

Hey Keith, no reply back from Lurch yet. I'm still game for 1:30 and could meet at end of Southern or at WalMart at Southern and Unser. Are you coming solo or with the fam? I'll probably go solo but Steph still undecided.

Sounds good to me! See you guys out there...at the end of southern

 

[krecon1]

Yeah we're still good for 130. Han hasn't been out there before, so she'll be going as will Kaden. We can just meet out at the end of Southern just before the dunes.

Anyone else want to go?

 

[Voodoo FJ]

OK, end of Southern. Still don't know whether wife and which kids are goin.

 

[SteveLCetc]

Turns out I will be able to go after all! See you there.

Thanks for a good outing guys. Lots of fun! Still have not lost any more power steering fluid, LOL. Thanks Jon and Steve for the expert spotting.

PS fluid boiling over?

 

[Voodoo FJ]

We are guessing that PS fluid momentarily sprayed from a hose connection (spring clamp). Maybe the hose was somehow stretched or bent while suspension articulating severely and trying to turn while front locker still disengaging? Seems to have quit leaking.

Given that you have IFS, the PS hoses are coming out of your rack and pinion unit, which I don't see moving under any circumstances.

Could be a simple pin hole or an abrasion.

Also, front diff has slow leak on ARB locker side. Skid plate for diff took a huge hit by hidden rock on a snow run. What should I do for starts?

you should remove the skid plate, clean up the area and assess the leak. Could be as simple as tightening up things or as bad as a broken or bent item of some sort.

 

[Voodoo FJ]

Thanks. That would definitely be the common sense approach, LOL!
