While at the sister's & BIL's cabin this weekend she'd decided that we should skid some of the downed trees off the hills around the cabin to make it easier to limb them & then cut up for firewood later....
My BIL's Lab loves to carry stuff and fetch or retrieve things... So he got put to work... So did my winch...

That's awesome! I used to work with a guy who had taught his dog a few basic tools (hammer, tape, and screwdriver) and he would fetch them on command! Can't beat a good dog!

I have enjoyed following your build for quite some time through all the ups and downs. So glad that you are finally getting to enjoy your Jeep!

Since I got back from Sand Hollow I've been fighting some type of rash on my leg... Yep it's been 6 + weeks.. I thought it was finally all cleared up and I was going to get busy again but then this past week it flared up again so I finally broke down and went to the doctors.... I'm back on antibiotics and in just 1 day it's already looking better...
This is 3 days ago...
And then today

Doctor wasn't 100% sure but it's either a staph or a strep infection. But hopefully the antibiotics will cure it either way... I'm tired of my leg causing me issues.
Hope its not MRSA. Wife had it once, not fun.

Doctor didn't think it was since it was JUST on my residual leg.

Somewhere between Sand Hollow and my trip over to my sister's & BIL's cabin trip my squeak went away......
Found out I've got a pin hole leak in the front left air bag....
but only when flexed out or if trying to raise to max height. When at ride height it's inside the bag and where it sits on the mounting cone. So at least it doesn't need replaced today. Must of gotten a rock/pebble stuck in there......
Other than that the Jeep ran great today...

That's lucky, every time on a big truck air bag, something like that would leak like crazy........

I got 19 years out of that one air spring..... Figure that's pretty good.
Most big truck bags fail from dry rot more than punctures.
19 years is a good life. I have swapped some big truck bags that were older, replaced due to dry rot.

After I'd gotten the Jeep/trailer over to Mike's (Crash) house we'd looked at it a little more and he felt that if the corners of the mini truss had been boxed in it might not of ripped in half like it did...
So now the question is do I try to find another mini truss similar to what I have or get a full length truss instead?
TMR offers a simple truss for a Dana 60... Figure I could make it fit...
4X Store makes a nice one... And I could run it out to the trackbar bracket and tie-into it?
Next Venture Motorsports offers a full width one also
I thought there was someone else who offered a truss for the HP44 but I haven't found any..... Since TNT stopped offering stuff it limits options...
So far I like the 4X Store the most so far.

Off-Road Anonymous offers one also but I'm not sure how it'd work...
This is the EB version
And then their 71-77 Dana 44 version
