Time well spent with the family. I took the family to Oark General Store, the oldest operating general store in Arkansas that also has the best hamburgers!! We then stopped by a waterfall and soaked on some of the Ozark scenery as we meandered back home. The next day I took my youngest exploring the backroads around our home to see what we could see! It’s amazing that we have these views just minutes from our front porch!Ok. Is time to post ...What did you do with your Rig Today? ( Credit of this thread goes to Mud forum...you know where ) It could be... washed it, went wheeling, maintenance, fix, add accessories, Mods, etc.
Just post it here. you can post as many times as you want. I know title says today, post it even if it was last week, last month, last year... just do it!
Today...80 selfie :-0
Not today...breakfast ...Fishing trip/camping. love cooking on the outdoors.
Frisly

It’s a great place to eat and there’s almost always a few off-roaders there eating or hanging out. The area around the Mulberry River is a great place to explore!!

Picked up my rear axles with new bearings pressed into them. Good to go for another 170k!

Making sure I can get out. Water to the right of me and mudslide slide to the left. Jeep and Tahoe can do water, getting set to trailer the Mustang and ladies parents Prius (it’s not mine!!! Lol) to high ground. Lithium and water don’t mix well. I figure 40% chance river in front oh house floods me out sometime this week, if not later today.
Got my hands full. Stay safe everyone.

Spent yesterday using the WJ as a tractor to move muck around by dragging a railroad tie. Driveway and road now passable by car. Spending today getting mud and pebbles out of the brakes, and squishing mud and water out of ball joints. Found roasted axle bearing, it will have to wait.
House, garage, and yard ok, was just trapped in for a while Fri morning. Prepping for next big storm beginning of week and who knows.
This is all an annoyance compared to the San Juaqine Valley and Salinas river flooding, and others throughout the state.

Started on a rough mock up of my back seat storage. So far, so good. I'll probably keep this for a while and redo it when I get a place to work.
Back on the road soon. Can't wait.

Had a small break in the weather, so I had time to put the frontrunner rack on the cap. A few more weeks and will be adding the RTT.

Got a set of 205/70R15 Yokohama Geolandar A/T tires for the VW. They were the smallest 15" A/T's I could find. Definitely mild as far as all terrains go, but I wasn't looking for anything super aggressive anyway. I've been back and forth about getting a set off these for a couple of years because I'm not sure how the VW's 40hp will handle them. They are a touch under an inch taller than the stock size and are quite a bit wider and heavier. I'm going out to Kansas in a little over a month and am planning to cross the state on mostly dirt roads, so I wanted something better than the bargain basement all seasons I normally run on it. Fortunately, the trip will be mostly on fairly flat terrain, so it'll be a good test to see how the car does with them.

Good choice for the Kubbelwagen. If nothing else, you’ll probably have less worry about cutting them on rocks.Got a set of 205/70R15 Yokohama Geolandar A/T tires for the VW.

Adjusted the shackles on my Xterra today. I'll still need to get an add-a-leaf down the road, but at least it sits level now. Still has all my gear and a full water tank in it.

I went backcountry skiing last week and arrived at base camp at 10,600 ft after dark and proceeded to back into a drainage swale covered in 3 ft of snow. . . popped the tent and waited for daylight to winch out. I don't typically add a lot of lights to any of my rigs, but when I got home, and ordered some Diode Dynamic SS3 cube lights and an Aux Beam switch to give me better illumination when backing. I installed them today after church in the AEV Bison bumper factory location. I also installed an AEV transmission skid plate I've had lying around since last Fall.

Thanks. Note to self. Hollow out the hole for the lock blade before mounting because upsidedown work is stupid hard. LOL
