i had a hissy fit about the breaker on my cooler fans, and i loossened a ground bolt installing a cup holder that needed a quick fix before we left camp day one haha. 

Pulled tins to get some ATF for Matt, that was the only wrenching.

we were hammering through some crazy stuff.  the whoops in the sand are really neat.

Too much time around high HP

Saw bent pushrod in the preview before I clicked and my first thought was an LS tragedy.

also noticed that in a 4 wheel skid in FWD, the rears lock up like they have 75% brake power.  i must have the front/ rear swapped, or it just how it is....


i decided to leave it this way because when going fast in 4x4 it doesnt matter, but in front dig it puts way less stress on the front shafts just tapping the brakes to lock the rear.


meh

I believe KOH has claimed my brake flaring kit.  searched all mine and Matt's tool bags, looked in all the trailers, and then did it all over again for fun.  wasted 2 hours looking for it, and then got to advance 20 min after they closed.  (3rd auto parts run for the day)

got back, used the tub clamp part from an old kit that dies are broken and threads are stripped on press part....


clamp tube.as you would normally
hit with hammer and mushroom over
take dead center from lathe, hit with hammer


best freaking double flares i have ever made in 15 seconds

took a beating this weekend with no issues.  Fuel pickups seem to not harm, dont know if they help yet.  didnt burn enough fuel and didnt get crazy enough on the comp course.

new tunes in an SD card thats much more protected than a jump drive sticking out

New brakes are Fawsome
