Good time had by all. There was 8 of us. We started the trail around 9:45ish-10 and finished a bit after noon. Finally got around to doing the obstacle just off the trail to the left at the beginning with Logan spotting. Got to the burned out GC and BigHoe had the smarts to not go down this time. We had to spot the JKUs around there. The trail was really dry but it is starting to get really cut in. We then had some time so we decided to do Dwyer hill powerline which I haven't done before. The trail there was really dry according to Logan but even then there was some spots at the end where the water was ridiculously high. Enough that I think I may change my diff fluid just to be safe. Logan did both in 2wd. Well he started Dwyer with a front driveshaft using a u-joint he thieved off of the GC as he had needed one for his front driveshaft but the lips that hold the retaines that hold the cups in had worn away so he had to pull his drive shaft off as it was hanging in the air.
Also think it may be time to look at my electrical cables as I am having an intermittent issue where she won't start, you turn the key and everything dies. Give it about 15 seconds and then power comes back. Finangling with the cables seemed to get it working again but I need to look at it more carefully.

Happy to hear you made it home safe 2greys. I posted this warning elsewhere but I think it is worth repeating for all. I found water in my front diff and just about every grease fitting. an hour to check and re-lube everything will save you lots of headaches. Had a great time today, lost a cv boot clamp and sheared the pin that holds my tranny mount together, both easy fixes and well worth it for the fun.

Did both diffs today and looks like I didn't get any water in them. However when putting the front cover back on I broke a bolt. Fortunately it left enough of a ridge that I could tap it out with a flathead screwdriver. Went to Kenny's and got a replacement off of a GC. Had no issues with it not starting since we got it started yesterday. I may look through the FSM and see if there is something in there. Either way I will be looking over the wiring this week.

Converting the video I had when I went through the first crossing. It has a bit of you coming out. The rest I have is following you into Dwyer.

On a side note I think I figured out my issue, I looked at the other side of the ground battery terminal and it looks like it is splitting. I tightened it up some and will be getting new ones tomorrow.
