Spent a long weekend at Fall Crawl in Gore, VA...thanks to Capital Land Cruiser Club for an awesome event! 3 days of killer wheeling and got to see some crazy buggies too. Plus I won a sweet GoPro11 kit by raffle to help document the next outing!




















Got to witness a lighter fluid tire re-seat on the trail...popped back on the bead on the first hit and we kept on crawling!






And had to start a tradition of some homemade real MD crab cake sliders for the group...did about 3 dozen this year, next year I'll need more!

Speedisleeve/seal saver. Someone forgot to remove the drive flange.....

That’s it. Front spindles we done as well, a better repair than the rear.

Cheers

Fresh snow!

Did a weeklong camping trip with my Dad near Four Corners. Had a blast freaking him out driving off road up Comb Wash, Arch Canyon and Valley of the Gods out in Utah, and we could see three different states from the slickrock rim we camped on. It was all-time.

Our weekend plans got rained out. So we went to go check on one of the properties and tried to see the fall colors.

Shake down test post plumbing work and put a fresh coat of Texas on the paint and new badging

Those had a few more miles left on them, what's the rush?

The pulling to the left under braking might spill my coffee

Busy week. 1st start of with getting my hands on these radius arm brackets from @Solvefuction to add strength:
@Outsane

Then headed to 1800mile trek to Utah with a fellow cruiser:

Took it to the trailhead for a ride. For anyone interested, coney flats look's to be open for a snow run. I would have thought it would be closed by now.
Thought about going up a bit but decided not to since I was running solo.

New rotors too correct?

 

[2KCruiser]

New rotors too correct?

Not until you expose the internal cooling fins, duh

80 grit resurface.

New setup coming soon.

I have successfully converted from factory manual fan and clutch to dual electric fans with PWM fan controller setup. So far the new fans worked great. Still need to do more testing before i completely trust my new setup offroad.

Lol, just did this a couple of weeks ago. 1 pad failed on right front & took out the disc. The squealer never made a sound as it was broken off.
Hope you have an easy time with the cone washers, mine had been glued in with RTV by the previous person to work on the hubs. Was a helluva fight to get them out.
While I was in there I thought the brake hoses could do with an upgrade, which I just did on the weekend. Had a struggle with them too. Flared brake hose male on the hard line to soft line union at the right rear wheel. Good thread about how to fix this if it happens. > Installing SS Braided Brake lines, Flare nut stuck in pipe! - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/installing-ss-braided-brake-lines-flare-nut-stuck-in-pipe.1056666/ luckily mine wasn't as bad as the OP.

 

[SNLC]

Well now, that sure is pretty!

For the build we are doing a “repaired” rear axle housing just won’t due. Old vs new.

Cheers
