Yeah, my dumb *** messed up the install. I got the replacement parts coming though, hoping I can take Sean up on his offer to get her fixed once they arrive.

You don't hit sliders and such much on Pritchett. Just gotta watch drivelines on a few optional ledges. Only place I think you would beat it would be Son of Rock Pile. Unless you make or winch up Rock Pile. Jason would probably agree. As for drivetrain, Most of the harder obstacles require bumps. Chewie and Axle hill may need smaller bumps to get up smaller ledges and sandy rocks. Rocker Knocker is where most people break. But that's usually lead footed people.

I got no idea I can feel them coming. Yesterday I was driving Back from spring and the freeway is way crappy there. I hit a bump and it was clear as day I realty got a death wobble. On one side but a bearing could be going cuz it makes a good a mount of noise from that area like a kinda grinding. Noise

grinding noises are not good

take the unit bearing off and check for looseness in the bearing

So far its not a loud noise LOL but true I'm just not sure were it is. Coming from my brakes are fine and there is no play in my tire so a bearing is the only thing I can think if
