Looks like someone needs to invest in their own pressure washer, saves you a bunch of cash if you like muddy trails, plus you can spray the salt out your chassis on mild winter days. Did anyone have tire chains that went?

I brought my whole set but didn't put em on. Was thinking if it got deeper I would.
Looking back having a winch in the middle of us worked out good at that turn there was no trees to winch to on the right side for that little bit anyhow.

How's the front locker turning out for ya Dave ?

Im still itching to go back up there. Looks like I won't be camping this weekend but a day trip I could do.

Carrier is set up. Going to put the diff back together tonight and then get most of the front end back together tomorrow I hope. Isn't the dunes trip this Saturday?

Yeah that mud was gnarly. It got in a channel behind my wheels and threw the balance off. Had to pull em off and clean em out.

Still want to go back and see how far I can go with chains.

I usually don't play in the mud on purpose but if it's to get to a trail, I don't mind.
Something like breaking an egg to make an omlet.[emoji83]

I pretty sure if I don't get up there this weekend , it'll never happen.
Plus snow is almost gone.
Kinda sad we only get about 2 months to play in the snow lately.

Anybody else want to go Saturday morning ?
Gonna take a less muddy route through Eureka.

Saturday things came up so, sand dunes are out but Sunday we can get some snow wheeling in. My wife is going to bring her jeep too just in case. Plus she can get some off-road time in it.

The wheels getting cleaned out.
After that I sprayed some WD-40 on the insides.
