Trail pics

My son and I knocked on NotAJeeps business door about 8:00am and took him from work for the morning to do Poison Spider. We meet his lovely wife and beautiful daughters. The had to get back for the afternoon so My son and I finished GoldenSpike and out Golden Rim. Not wanting to hang out at the hotel, I was driving the Ram out to BFE to show my son where it was … low and behold, we see a crippled jeep and stop to ask if he needed some help … MBryson of all people … nice rig, and very nice to meet you!

Sunday, my son and I show at the gates of Pritchett at 8:00am, just one jeep, and ran the trial alone. Finished very early so ended up doing Hell’s Revenge, Fins and Things, and a fair portion of Porcupine (Marathon mode). Did Moab Rim this morning and headed home. Fantastic weekend.

Some how I knew you were down there :greg: So how far did you drive past BFE road this time?

How'd the heep do? And where are some pictures?

It's a Yukon and it's 'slightly' big at the spindle bearing (about .010"). The passenger side is fine, but the drivers side is a little big. Oh, and there are some wounds on the Mt. Logan drive flanges. They're fairly easy to hit on things (ran them along a rock on Poison Spider for about 30 ft. and they're just scratched, not really even gouged--kinda 'sanded' with about 180 grit?), but I think with a little care, someone could make lockout hubs work fine.

I saw in a few of the off road mags that Daynatrac has some new stubby D60 hubs. Would that help your sticky outtie problem?

It's not really a problem. I'll just run the Mt. Logan drive slugs. I've seen them take a real beating on comp rigs and expect mine to do the same. I think I've seen the Dynatrac hubs, but they'll stick out further than the drive slug cap (say it's .300" or so where a lockout hub is going to be at least .750" and more like 1.5" or more). I've got some 35 spline Warn Premiums that I can run, but they'll just get trashed. If I can drive it on the street at all (when I get new tires), I'll run the hubs.

The problem I have is with the Yukon shaft. (and they're taking care of that for me in a very professional manner) It's just got a machining error in the 'journal' where the spindle bearing rides.

Now that's the kind of wheeling I like to do. Sounds like a great weekend. I get a little nervous about the being alone part, but I've done it before. From Prichett did you head up the back way to White Knuckle Hill. I've been out that way and did Nose Dive and Up Chuck, then headed out to the county road from there.
