THIS is supposed to be better than the factory plug, ran them for a long time and didn't lose any.

Maybe a permenant loctite would do the trick, but there is an awful lot of torque put on the plug if you're sliding it over a rock with the weight of your truck! I'd worry that it is a false sense of security...

That said, mine is welded this time around. If you have the axle housing out for any reason, weld it!

I ordered the low profile drain plug with the Allen. Im going to check it after each day of wheeling. If it comes loose again it is getting a hard tach weld to hold it. The metal protector around my front and rear drain plugs are worn down to the plug so im going to build that back up and use a low profile drain plug and check it. I got it all pulled apart yesterday. Ring and pinion turned blue it was smoking pretty bad out of the drain plug when i got home the other day. Also blued the inner pinion bearing. So ring pinion, inner bearing, crush sleeve, nut, two axle seals and like a car payment later and it should be running next week. Still need a front drive shaft going to run it around town dented.

 

[TunaKing]

Nitro does not warranty there Ring and Pinions turning blue go figure.

 

[Crusha]

Still need a front drive shaft

I may have a spare, PM me.

I still have a hatch for you as well.

[OGBeno]

Man..... that’s a solid run. Enjoy. I know Wilson and company are gonna rock it with you all.

 

[Safetyman]

@Crusha My brother (ick--a Jeeper) and I are thinking of coming out to RC or AOAA tomorrow, but we probably can't get to AOAA and be aired down until about 11. Is it worth trying to find the group? We'll have a CB and a couple FRS handhelds to communicate, along with cell if it works.

If you want late arrivals, who should I contact and on what frequency, channel, cell number?

[Catskills]

Ugh, I just realized I have no radio.

 

[Crusha]

Is it worth trying to find the group?

Can't hurt, and I'm pretty sure we can meet somewhere. Worst thing that happens is you guys wheel AOAA by yourselves.

I'll PM you my phone number.

 

[Crusha]

Ugh, I just realized I have no radio.

No sweat, we have enough club radios to go around...

 

[OGBeno]

Ugh, I just realized I have no radio.

Sh1t. My fault. They were in the basement charging.

 

[Catskills]

Thanks @Crusha !

As usual, I'm figuring to stop for breakfast at Myrtle May's restaurant in Minersville on my way to go wheeling. It's right on the main street (route 901) on the right as you're traveling uphill toward Anthracite. Figure to get there by 7:10 or so, it's about a 20-25 minute drive from there to Anthracite. Allowing 45 minutes for breakfast would get us to AAOA before 8:30. Greg, Vince, and I have stopped there in the past and the chow is acceptable.

I'd say the food is better than acceptable...
