Me neither. Not since the Cove. I need to change the diff fluid and add some knuckle grease. I also need to check the hub nuts on the m416. Other than that? Pack and go.

Me too. Looked at them at Dick's yesterday. They're pretty inexpensive.

I've been using the first up from Walmart for years. I think they are $88 and so worth it. First one was drug behind a truck and used for about 6 years over and over while I raced. It finally took a tornado to kill it. Just replaced it and the second one is just as good as the first.
I hope you don't think I regretted my night run, because I didn't. I love night runs. If I didn't want to risk (reasonable) damage I'd park my truck or just go to the grocery store in it.
In fact I'm looking forward to the next night run.
I'll probably be on the phone to Sam on Monday with list of exhaust parts to order.

Kmart actually has the E-Z UP brand. I think I got my 10x10 for around $80 .
Ours came from ACE hardware. Got it on sale for $50 or $60, not sure what brand it is.
This is why you buy OEM parts. New OEM fan clutch on the left, aftermarket replacement on the right. It was at least stamped "Made in USA", but it doesn't even begin to compare.
Replaced hatch struts and took apart the replacement mirror to get it ready to install. Need to put a little plastic weld on the ears to reinforce them and and fix a broken ear on the radiator fan shroud. Trying to get something done since it has been nasty over the weekend.

Lifted Matt's Hundy today! First time I've done a torsion bar lift. Overall took us 5 hours. Turned out out pretty good.
If I need to change one I am going with this one:

Yeah, his are nice. I have actually had this one sitting for long enough that I should have cracked it open and changed out the oil. If I start to have problems, I will probably do just that, but for now, it should do nicely. Mine had a "green" hub.
I have a target to have it ready to roll by Next Sunday so i can drive it some next week to make sure everything is going to work. Nothing like negotiating a little Nashville Traffic to "shakedown" for the ride East.

Really, rain 4 of the next 6 days.... I will definitely have the EZ-Up out, a tarp and some shop lights out this week... it is like mother nature hates me or something.

I wonder if the trails will be nasty?
I was thinking that too. Rain a good part of this week and a couple days next week. That won't stop us from having fun tho!

I thought about that. The waterfall should be worth the trip at least. And some of the moderate trails will probably get more interesting.
To Do:
Connect trailer
Pack clothes and camping equipment
Buy and pack food
Load spare parts and MudShip items
Load trucks
Depart Friday after work

My work list just grew on the New Years run I bent the rear diff cover, so I ordered and installed a new heavy AL cover. Turns out it is too thick and caused my ARB air line to rub. So I am waiting for a new collar and line from TPI.
Still need to install generator/ gas can carrier on IH
Extend deck on trailer(stage)
Replace CB in 60
Print out registration labels
Get more raffle tickets
Make a couple more GSMTR signs
Hook up trailer and load event stuff
Go grocery shopping
Mow the damn lawn if it ever dries out.
Try to remember what I forgot to put on list.
