Northwest OHV Park- Jan 27th

[tx_shooter]

Picking up an OHV sticker in Springtown tomorrow morning. This will put me a little late getting there. Anyone else need one?

I'm good, I picked one up this week in Grapevine. What time are you going to get there?

 

[tx_shooter]

Closer to 8:30 now. If I had used my head I would have picked one up while I was in Ft Worth this afternoon. But I was too focused on getting out of Ft Worth.

I just checked their weather- 50% chance of rain tonight but the total dropped is expected to be 0.04 inches. Tomorrow should be clear though.

Good day of wheeling. I made it home with a weird random popping sound from the front end. Hopefully it is an easy fix.

 

[unevolved]

Yeah, so weird how that noise just started happening... Totally random.

 

[tx_shooter]

So damn close to the top. Next time I will get there.

Driver's front tire has side-to-side play in it when lifted on a jack. The CV also makes a noise when spun by hand. I wish i could be so lucky as it was the UCAs.

Pretty happy with how the KO2s did, much better than the old Rugged Terrains. Here's the pictures I took. Working on the GoPro video, but there's not too much on there that's very interesting. Had the waterproof back on it, so the sound kinda sucks.

Well the side to side play and CV would be independent from each other, so there are two possible problems then.

Yeah, side-to-side play doesn't sound like the CV. Unless it's somehow the hub...? If the bearing shat the bed, he would have heard some terrible noises, and probably not made it home, though.

Looks like a fun day.

That wheel bearing was replaced last summer. So far it is looking like the Inner Tie Rod end is trying to let go. I called Discount Tire to get 2 new front tires scheduled for Monday and an alignment at a local shop later that day hopefully.

Had fun today and it was great meeting you guys. Cant wait to get out there again. Thanks for the open invitation.

 

[tx_shooter]

@unevolved I showed the guys at Oreilly's the video. They immediately approved getting a warranty replacement. They said even if it is not visibly in multiple pieces that it making sounds when the wheel is spun by hand means it is done. So tomorrow I am swapping the CV and replacing the inner tie rod ends.

Nice Landcruiser that needs a rear locker. We were all waiting on it to roll.



Last trail on the way out to lunch

Looks like a good time was had! I need to get back out there, it's been too long.

Couple more pics from my sammich maker's phone.





Better perspective of the hill climb that produced the loud pop sound.

Does it have top to bottom play as well?
