Bummer Andrew but could've been worse. Just means when its fixed your rig will be that much stronger.

The outing was a great success!

It was a three vehicle convoy with myself, Relativistic70, and Darren who drives a Suzuki and acted as our guide. The outing was a day trip to Chute lake where there was some good rock to crawl over (gonna need to armour if I continue this), some water crossings, and some great trails leading to spectacular views.

I am pretty damn jealous right now. Can we go back there next time? Looks like fun. =)

I'm almost back together, have everything cleaned and ready for new parts tomorrow. Two new birfs, a new drive flange (to fit the longer spline birf), 2 new brake rotors, 2 new brake calipers and 2 sets of brake pads. And of course all new seals and shtuff.

Great day for a run, we need to try to make this a regular occurrence. 77cruiser77 is right, sliders have moved up on my list of "must haves" before I have body damage.

Oh man, looks like you guys had a great day!

I did that trail last fall, it sure is getting rough up near Lebanon Lake!

Andrew that grease looks really old - when was your last hub job?

I will try to make the next run.

Glenn: October. Jason did both sides. The grease appeared to be fine, and not contaminated. (other than the bits of broken birf.. sigh) Both sides were the same.

Truck is up and running again. Proud to say I now am comfortable doing a hub/birf rebuild, and have a trail spare and necessary parts and tools to do it in the middle of no where

Also have ALL new brakes, front and rear. They were pretty shotty so I replaced everything.

I may need to skip the June meet/run... I have another little one on the way, due middle of June Perhaps July. Or in 15-20 years. ha...
