Only picture I got of my situation last night. Was the nastiest mud I've ever seen. It was probably 300 yards of this crap. It acts like quick sand. Had to use the winch to get my boots out, lost my socks, said a lot of cuss words....

@snuffnwhisky your buggy would be so much fun on that little sand track

That new LED I put up front didn't like getting used as a fairlead. When I had to go over the roof to winch off the tree behind me it took all of the stress when the tin can bumper bar started to bend. Stripped the threads out but looks like I'll be able to salvage it with some longer bolts. It was perfect out on the trails so even if I can't salvage it I'd get another.

Cut down a couple bolts and got the LED bar back in action. Need to touch up the bumper now...

How'd the roof make out?
Btw the short bus is looking good

Roof still looks new, that plastic is amazing. I can also attest to the amsteel blue rope and my cheap HF Badlands winch. It's not the fastest but I ran that damn thing off and on for almost 4 hours and it got me out of some nasty stuff!

Want to thank all the guys that put together the part numbers and how-to's for the trail-side tierod repair (@lee , @JACKAL , and others I'm forgetting I'm sure) . We were able to get him back up and running in about 45 minutes from start to finish with neither of us having ever changed one. Happened right after we got off Dragon's Back.

Here's a quick picture that Jackal posted a year or so ago that has all the part numbers for those following along at home:

The greaser is great. I like having fresh grease in my bearings. I get mud and water out every time. Doesn't make bearings indestructible but it keeps grease in them.

Welp... Ordered SATV front and rear arms and some 30x10x14 Terrabites. Going to be a busy weekend!

It’s about time you spend some money on that rig. I bet it feels neglected! 😂

I don't think I ever stop spending money on it 🤷‍♂️

Working on some new legs...

Brown truck finally decided to show up

Got one rear side done before I had to come in for dad duty. Only mild cussing and a little tweaking on the frame tabs to get them on.
