Spent the day with the my MIJC buddies and their Jeeps, at the clubs annual Halloween Run. Had a great time with good food and friends.
Except for having to be pulled back from a tree when the steering acted up while going down a steep hill, I drove out of everything I drove into on my own. Broke a Shock first thing checking my flex on the articulation ramp. Scored a 98 on a 25 degree ramp, but had a shock puke oil. After all the ramp use in Iowa and frame/suspension testing I've done, not sure why the shock decided it had traveled too for, I guess I need even longer shocks. Then had another tail light lenses brake off (darn departure angle), then the glass in a mirror, then (yes I know that's a lot of then's) found a broken bead lock bolt (just one this time). Only other issue was the previous mentioned steering box that didn't want to let me turn sometimes. I might be having a box failure, as it doesn't seem to stress the linkage when I hit the hard turn point but does cause the pump to squall.
Anyway, HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO EVERYONE!
Will
