Safe travels! Looks like it's going to be a perfect weekend weather wise!

You'll have to let me know your impression of the 50R. I've got some friends who are really interested in this guy.
Also, I know you already have mounting plans for it with the cage, but I do like this mount that Rugged uses for theirs - Proclip Center Mount

Made it safe. Was a little late to wheel after setting up camp and trying to get my decal on.

So far I'm pretty impressed with it. The range is awesome. Only thing that sucks, is not many people running VHF/UHF.

It was awesome seeing EVO1 in person
EVO1 tow truck
Spicy Chicken
Couple more EVO rigs

Local diner for breakfast
Future Jeeper
Entrance to Wolf Caves
Broken shock, 3 shocks the rest of the day
And that's why solid metal fenders are not a good idea

It was great wheeling with you too. We had a blast. Thanos is a beast as always. Can't wait until the next trip.
Right, yours looks so much worse than mine. Was that all from this weekend?

Went to adjust my tie rod to compensate for the bend and ended up snapping the sleeve adjuster. I noticed the sleeve slit had a twist to it already but didn't think much about it until it sheared.
Sheared and you can see the twist in the slit
What it should look like
Local part store had an adjuster sleeve in stock , nicer design with the hex head on it. Also picked up a rod end just in case
Got everything out
And new sleeve and rod end in
Now I just need to adjust the toe. Might have been fine to drive but I feel better knowing it's fixed. Need to save for a more beefy tie rod.

Thanks, that sleeve was twice as much as the rod end.

This should be made a sticky somewhere for all the people who question why they should stick with factory trimmed fenders!
