I will be there around lunchtime tomorrow. Do I need bring any tools just in case? I will have a socket set and my hand tools with me.

The leak is a non-issue. Self-induced. I'll explain after the trip. Brakes are good. Diff was pressurized. If you read far enough back in my build thread. You'll figure out why.

Nothing in the world tastes better than bacon at the campsite.

Had an awesome weekend. Thanks again Eric for putting this together. I know its a lot envoled in planning the routes and picking the campsites.

Zane enjoyed it so much he's already wanting to plan the next.

Post #518 was a joke...

The leak issue is this. Instead of extending my axle breather hose up to higher elevations, I installed a little bellows thingy like they use on quads and side-by-sides. To provide a to account for thermal expansion of the oil in the diff. My axle is much bigger. So the bellows is too small. Axle overpressurized and the bearing seal at that end was the easiest place to relieve pressure. I guess I never ran it hard enough in hot weather to do that before.

Bellows experiment = Fail

I'll put a hose back on it.

Well, with the headache rack, you have plenty of places to elevate the breather hose up higher now. You could probably submerge the engine and the axle will be perfectly happy.

Finally ready to start putting my video together. I still need to trade some files with Robert. But, while reviewing my footage this afternoon, I noticed something strange.

Zane said he felt like someone was following us haha. Nad news is my sd card got messed up some how and I got no videos. It was pretty disappointing when I looked. Just means that we will have to do it again haha. I did get some photos on my phone.
