Thought since I had the wheels off, it would be a good time to do the rear breaks. Its over due.

I meant to change them out a while ago, but other things kept coming up. I'm just glad I revisited before it was worse.

Probably the last time I'll be able to reshape these bolt heads

Just thought you would find it funny what pops up at the bottom of the page every time I check out your build updates. It's what happens with a Jeep named the Black Pearl I guess...

So the other day I finally made it to the tier shop. First wheel we pulled off and spun, with the existing weights still on. Just to see where we were at. 7.00 oz out! [emoji15] found the vibration. At this point I knew it was a balancing issue, as I checked and fixed everything else. So striped the weights off and it still took 6.5oz. The rest weren't as bad, only about one to two off on the rest. So glad I got that worked out. We leave for the rubicon again tomorrow!

7oz? Holy Toledo. Did they spin the tire on the rim to see if it helped any?

We spun them using the lug holes, we're pretty sure that one rim is a little out of round.

I miss read your post the first time. No we didn't. Mainly because of the rim it's self.

It was awesome!
It was a event called stakes and stories. It's to help raise awareness on safety and packing out garbage, wail enjoying the trail.

And of course... it would be a trip to the rubicon for me, if I didn't destroy a steering stabilizer.
Well this one was the best of the worst, I had hanging in my shop. It still worked ish. But this trip killed it, it even through up on the axel a little bit

fortunately I already had a brand new one in the jeep. It's almost like I knew this would happen.

I’m glad to hear that they are pushing people to pack out garbage... too many trails out there are looking like a dump! I remember looking for a spot to camp in Idaho a couple years back in a national forest and there were even used diapers laying around [emoji51]

It's unfortunate that people need the reminder, to pick up after themselves.

It's on the to do list, I just keep putting it off.
Oh it was a blast as always! I would have liked to get more wheeling photos. There's always the next trip though.
