Unless I find my sub-zero sleeping bags not sure if I'll be camping. I hate that I moved back here and as I got more comfortable with the hot, I began to not to be comfortable with the cold like I did.

On another note I did get my shock bolt fixed. Took a different approach, but it worked.

2 new tires:

Most importantly they fixed the hack n tap, they re-tapped the shaft, apparently it wasn't tapped far enough in, new grade 8 bolt, lock washer, etc and got the yoke centered and nice and tight.
Drives great, no more vibes at 50-55mph. So I'm pretty pumped.

I am going 35s next year. Just too busy this year.

35 x 10.5 boggers. Not a big fan of them. But Nothing else I have seen will do what I want them too.

Goodyear MT/R kevlars, by far the best tire I've ever run in any terrain. And they will drive a million times better on the road than boggers

I'm going to either stick with the Mickey Thompson MTZ's or go to the MT/R. I love the MTZ's though, great in rain, snow and offroad, noise isn't bad either.

Yea I still have to replace one axle joint and make my passenger door removable .

And a wheel bearing drivers side.

Thinking about trailering, not sure yet.

Leaving Johnstown around 7:30am. Heading to Bob Evans in zainsville. Probably arrive at Heiney around 9:30am.

Shoot I forgot I still have to buy toys!
