Yup, I'mma goin. Think my daughter is going to go. May have a spare seat it someone doesn't mind riding with Mr. Midlife crises

 

Well I beat the snot out of it today.... got exhaust, rear driveshaft, slider, rear diff and the rear wheel got pretty messed up..... oops

 

Well where are the pictures? I want to see this trail rash of yours.

 

I didn’t get any, I’ll get some beige class tomorrow though.

 

Forgot to get a picture, but broke the rear hanger off for the exhaust too. I think that’s the third time. Probably not much pipe left to weld it to haha

 

That wheel could be worse but that driveshaft.... That is pretty bad. No odd vibes now?

 

No vibes... well up to like 60 no vibes but haven’t hit a big highway since. Fairly surprised

 

DANG! That is some serious battle wounds.

 

 

I was up on a hill side on the driver’s side and on the rocks on the passenger side then it slid off the hill and landed dead center on the rocks so...

 

Ordered the 6 piece 8 watt white infinite offroad rock lights. Couldn’t decide between 4 watt and 8 watt. So figured I’d just go with the brighter ones. Figure I’ll put one in the middle of the front, one in the middle of the back and one behind each front wheel well and one in front of each rear wheel well. Unless anyone has a better location suggestion. Plan to wire them up over fall break. Not sure what else if anything I’ll get done before next trip.

 

Installed the rock lights and looks like I’m day tripping gulches tomorrow and if nothing breaks too bad I’ll be taking it up uwharrie next weekend. Here’s some pictures of the lights. I can take pictures of light locations and stuff if anyone is interested. Wish I could’ve figured out how to get a little more light towards the middle of the jeep, but couldn’t figure out a good location to put them to get more light there. The nice thing about this kit is if I ever decide I want add more I can just buy individual ones and add them. There is enough plugs for up to 12 lights off the main splitter.

 

Made it up shipwreck in the Cherokee. Lots of scratches on the sliders, wheels, crossmember, bumpers and long arms. Broke a tail light on the slab at shipwreck. Definitely a good ride, and glad I went.

 

Not sure what the issue is yet since both of my roommates are already asleep so no one to look or turn the wheel, but when I went to the library a few hours ago something was popping fairly loudly when parking. Then I turned the wheel back and forth and could hear and feel the popping. Hopefully one of my roommates can help me check it out tomorrow before class so I can still leave on time for the trip.

 

Loose trackbar?
