Installed an ARB bumper I got a deal on. Then checked PS wheel bearing/preload for a weird rotational squeal I had when slowly parking and backing out of parking spaces...after messing with the drive shaft it sounded like it was coming from somewhere around there.

One dump run turned into two. Found an opportunity to teach my boys to take care of other people's mess.

We came across this trash, on the way to the transfer station.

I took my oldest(19 months) on his first overland adventure. We drove over light hill, about an hour trip, we both had a great time!
