Headed back to Missouri after the JKX ended yesterday with a run through Pritchett Canyon in Moab. Awesome week, but it went by super fast. More pictures to follow when I get home and organize them all.

Day two is down. My rear Trackbar bracket decided it was done playing and broke off. Driveshaft gave the gas tank skid a kiss. Limped it to our stopping point and then with the help of some awesome dudes we moved it back into place and welded it back together. Welded a bolt as a gusset just for...

Next to resq1 and EvoLander. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Mel and Russ are very cool dudes. Should be a great week.

It has begun...

Cruising West for the JKX. So many bugs on the windshield.

Started packing and it already seems like I have too much shit.

Got the tires mounted. Had to take them for a shakedown. Hit some back roads and then about 60 miles of highway. Surprisingly quieter than the STTs.

Tires showed up today! Thank You Nitto! Love the smell of new tires 😎 Probably get them mounted up sometime this weekend. My replacement G2 shaft showed up today too. And as luck would have it, the U-Joint fit perfectly. So those 5-7166X U-Joints stamped with SPR 5182 and SPR 1411 will fit...

Ordered a Spicer 5-7166x u-joint off amazon for my replacement G2 Front Axleshaft. Everything I've seen online and on my other shaft said "SPR 5182" stamped onto the body of the joint. However, this new one says "SPR 1411". Anyone know if this will work? I guess if not, I'll find out Wednesday...

Forgot pictures:

I searched around, but couldn't find anything on write-ups on doing a transmission fluid change on the wa580 for the newer JKs. Does anyone have any info on when and how this is done before/if I need to dive into it? Thanks!

This would be a great addition to my JKU. Count me in, and thanks for the opportunity!

Saw this badass rig at the commissary. Not sure the purpose, but it gave me a laugh.

Waited three weeks for my rear center bar. Showed up yesterday.... Correct label on the box, correct hardware bag, wrong part. Irritating.

Pretty much done now. Just have to order up a new passenger side front shaft and the Jeep will be back to 100%. Still waiting on my rockhard rear center bar that was on back order.

Got it 95% back together. Test comes tomorrow when I pull a trailer to Oklahoma and back. Round trip is 10hrs.

Getting close to wrapping it up.

Got the synergy weld on trackbar bracket welded up. Cleaned the axle up last night. Painting it and reinstalling this afternoon. Should be back on all fours tonight, after being down for the last two weeks.

Finally got the chunk out of the carrier. Had to take the ring gear off to get to it. Surprisingly the locker was undamaged.

Got the tires mounted, pulled the front axle and mounted up one of the rock skins. Decided to keep them raw. I think I like the look with the rings on the wheels. I also pulled the axleshaft. Found out that not only had the u-joint busted, but the splined end actually snapped right at the...
