Ride at RRB in Tennessee September 24 -26

[Smitty335]

For those riding tomorrow that want me to show them around Sundquist unit meet at Mexican restaurant at 10AM. Will hit waterfalls, rock formations, caves, etc. Will be able to adapt route for about a 6 to 8 hr ride and get back to your accommodations by evening dinner.

Me, I'm packing a subway sandwich for lunch on the trails somewhere.

It pains me greatly, to say your a good ole poop!

Hey don't go ruining my bad reputation 😝. I don't think the crew with me today will ever believe the phrase, " it gets easier from here" no sooner we conquer one slick muddy obstacle they find more to keep from getting bored. I think it was a conspiracy to make me lose weight and miss my dinner. Never underestimate the perseverance of a hungry fat man getting to a great meal. 🤣

I think I lost my 4wd lock isn’t working anymore. At least the light isn’t coming on saying it’s locked. Can this be regained by adjusting the shift box or is it something else?

You dirty bastards look like you’re having fun... I was a week early from joining you. Wife’s birthday is Sunday and some of us head out Thursday for Moab or I’d say f*** it and meet up with y’all!

Yes, it could be from all the use yesterday on the inclines they could use some adjustment. Always best to try and shift modes before getting in a pickle or after so there is least amount of strain on the engagement components as well as the cable actuation system.

However a trick that works often is go from 2WD or Turf mode into just 4WD, once that indicator is set only then shift over to 4WD Lock. Also that dash indicator just doesn't instantly change, it requires movement in order to physically work inside the differentials. When I go to Turf mode, it sometimes takes a couple of minutes to indicate unlocking rear differential, but it always does.

In all honesty, nothing we were in yesterday afternoon makes a difference, locking up the front end in those situations just makes it harder to maneuver around rocks & ruts. The wet slick mud on the rocks was the problem, regular 4WD is your best option 95% of the time.

That said there is a few good threads on here on correctly adjusting the cable box, a little goes a long way and too much adjustment can negatively affect the other drive modes.

Not only will we not believe the phrase “it gets easier from here”, we won’t believe the phrase “the rain will stop around 9”. (Technically the rain did stop around 9... 9 PM)

before and after, the buggy had more mud inside than outside... boss says “you are getting mud busters when we get home.”
