It's been a while since I have posted any updates, so I figured it was time, considering I have been working on the truck to prepare for the Rubicon later in August.
Back in May, I drove down to Vegas to meet a buddy for his 40th. While we were down there, we decided to run an easier trail called Tie Rod Canyon. Since we were alone, we wanted to do something less risky, even though there was another one I had my eye on. The truck did fantastic, and didn't skip a beat.
At some point, I got on the pre-order list for an upgraded carrier bearing from JXB, and got it in mid June. So I promptly installed it. Due to the mount being damaged back in January on the trail, the bearing is a little off. So the dust shield has been self clearancing into the bushing haha. I need to cut the mounts off, and make replacements, and re-align the bearing. But for now, It's stronger and better than the O'Rileys special haha.
About a month later, I worked on the winch line. I need to re-tie the end to work with the Yankum fairlead. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out
