Caught the Bug
The brakes have been sounding pretty angry since the muddy SMORR run this past weekend. Finally got around to deep cleaning them today.
When I pulled the caliper off all this gunk fell out including that little rock (caliper bolt for scale). I'm guessing he's been the one that sounded like a dying eagle.
Much cleaner now

Went out to SMORR a couple days ago. Had a little carnage, but nothing crazy. I broke the driver's side mirror somehow. I'm not exactly sure when, the mirror just fell out when it was sitting still lol. Rocker Knocker did a number on my passenger side rock slider too. Nice scrape and dent that didn't bother me too much, but then I noticed the bolts that mount to the pinch seam pulled all the way through. I'll have to take a closer look later and get some pictures, but new sliders are in the works anyway. More to come later...

Would love to see some photos of the slider bolt damage . This is what I worry about with my cheap sliders as well .. hasn’t made it up the upgrade list since they seem to be doing okay . I’ve had to retorque the mounting bolts after several wheeling trips tho

I think you got your monies worth out of those sliders. Time for some stronger ones!

What brand are those? They look like factory 10A sliders

My thoughts exactly!
I'm looking forward to the upgrade, I've already talked with Bubba at Exodus
They're Body Armor 4x4 I believe.

I tinkered a bit with the tailgate again today. The hinges just didn't feel rigid enough. I kept having to tighten them. Turns out I was crushing the four cheap washers that came with them:
So I tacked on a support on the gate side:
Then welded it up:
Then painted and reinstalled with 8 new grade 8 washers:
Then I put some new grease in them, but unfortunately the gun got stuck on the bottom zerk and I broke it off in the hinge [emoji26]
Anyone know a good way to get it out and replace it?...

Those will usually get it done, and the other end will clean up the threads so the new fitting fits right.

1/16 seemed a little small, but I tried a 1/8. It got it a quarter turn and stopped. It just won't bite anything. Thanks for the tip though!
Good to hear, I ordered one and just wanted some reassurance that they weren't a joke like some specialty tools LOL. It should be here tomorrow and I'll give it a whirl.
