Suspension rehab
While I was at EJS, I met up with the guys from Rock Krawler. Their customer service is pretty exceptional. My suspension has seen better days. The control arms are rusting. The flex joints are so bad, a couple of them are sieed. They really need a refresh. Now that the Mule is garaged in the winter, I figured now would be a good time to get this all fixed up.
Rock Krawler brought me a set of control arms ends to replace all the ones on my lift, saving me the expense of shipping them.
Throwback Thursday to probably the last time the Mule was this clean.

That’s about a 1000 foot drop down to the Colorado River

Out with the old and in with the new.
Out with the old and in with the new. The difference between the stock stamped transmission cross member and the JCR replacement is stark.
This is what two years of salt and slush will do
This is what two years of salt and slush will do to the underside of a set of rock sliders. Ugh. Glad I spent the time and money to have these blasted and powder coated again. This time with a zinc rich primer that should keep them rust free for years.

A Night at Delicate Arch, Moab, Utah. This was a fairly short but steep trail. It wasn’t too bad, but definitely narrow with a drop off at the end. I had to wait for all the selfies photographers to clear at sunset and then for the moon to put the shadows in the right spot as night fell. Ended up hiking down around 10:30pm or so with a couple of other photographers I met while shooting. All in all a fun night! Would do it again in a heartbeat!
Muddy Monday!
Muddy Monday! 33” tires just weren’t enough on this part of the trail at Southington Off Road. I high centered on the rut in the center!
For whatever reason, when I changed tires
For whatever reason, when I changed tires to the BFG KO2, even with the carrier adjusted all the way in, the side walls of the tire would not make contact with the carrier. This made for an unsafe situation. I welded up this simple square and sleeved some bolt holes and mounted it to the extra holes. The tire makes contact with the new bracket nicely. No rattling!
