I don’t think the factory warranty will cover that!

Was a great time. I got to cruise around with Frank from @yodaTEQ and meet lots of people.

that looks like a blast..... my old 200 would've been perfect for that....

added the ARB alloy rack to replace the much loved Bowfin one - always liked this look, and don't have to worry about parking the rig in parking garages anymore,

so...... plus it'll fit on the wife new DD, IF she ever lets me put it on for a longer trip....

Those were with my 12mm(24mm full frame equivalent) f2.0 and Iso200, i think I was doing 15 to 30 second exposures. Camera is Olympus OMD EM1 Mark ii

PO had a dumb accessory light switch. Installed a slee headlight harness, six light harness and new switch in the factory location.

Had the kid assist. (He drives the truck.)

Also drive it to Vail (Minturn) and back. Needs a turbo or S/C for the mountain.

Question for y’all: we didn’t hook up the illumination on the switch, as I couldn’t figure out how to extract the dimmer or the mounting surface. Any hints?

I don't believe you, a 3fe could never break a piston, they are indestructible..... jk How many miles were on your 3fe when the piston gave up.

i don't know what happens. just 359,529 k.m

No other RTT would have had a chance! Definitely a great bunch to wheel with. Love that our fearless leader had the saw and knew how to use it!

Bent axles anyone??

 

[RFB]

Spent yesterday installing RCV axles and aisin hubs from slee upped with 300m inners c clip was a ball breaker but I filed it a bit and got it to go. Oh and totally smoked the front inner oil seal even using the witsend tool. So now I’m waiting for Yotamasters to send me 3 new one got 3 marlin eco and 3 factory. Yes I always order extra Anyone use the MC eco seal? Or should I stick with factory Also before anyone points it out c clip is on INNERMOST notch Not as pictured

@RFB on the inner axle seals -- I used marlin's inner seals years ago to have them leak prematurely. Went back to stock OEM and never had issues. not sure on the ring to use, I would assume whatever keeps it tighter
