[driffter33]

Just a couple recent pics.

looking good as always. i still get a kick out of the body roll your runner has in a turn.

 

[driffter33]

Ya it rolls a bit on road!

So after last Sat's wheeling trip I noticed a few changes in the runner.

I noticed a couple of oil leaks. That got me under the thing where I found this little surprise!

The 3rd one I have broke!

Loosened my transfer case drain plug on a rock, it was finger tight.

Rear diff had one bolt loos and leaking from the gasket. tightened it up but might have to pull it and reseal it.

also found a steering boot torn up a bit! WoW must have been a good day!

Looks like you should be one of our test subjects for our up coming 3rd gen arms

Looks like some fun wheeling last Saturday.

So what is that broken piece of metal? At first I thought it was the rear lower control arm. But I know that's not it.

Hope it doesn't cost to much to fix.

That is the rear Upper control arm/link.

PMing you about turnbull tomorrow morning, mtb'ing:roadkill:

 

[97FR_brad]

Upper control arm. nice or not so nice since yours is broke.

Can't make the mnt biking this weekend. But lets make some plans for next weekend.
It would be nice to see some different dirt other than the local trails around here.:thumb3:
