Let's see....
PLOWED a doe on the way to Hot Springs ORV, left some hair on the winch knocked out a side marker light, drover over her with both axles. But otherwise no damage.
Earned the 3 badges at the park, plus a bunch of other trails. That place is fantastic, highly recommended. Big Juicy only needed to be winched in one spot, and that was only because I couldn't get on the right line and rigs were stacking up behind us.
Also had a weird knock on the way back after our first day. Thought it was a u-joint or possibly a wheel bearing, but turned out to be one of my wheel spacers had come loose. You may recall this was my #1 concern about spacers, and it came to pass. The driver's side front wheel was very close to coming off. Re-torqued them all and had no problems the next day.
Beyond that, the old girl did great, fantastic even when you consider what she was when I bought her just a little bit ago. No leaks, temp was just shy of 210 the entire way, no shakes on the long drive there. All the other rigs in our group had some sort of trouble with sensors or overheating or shifting.......or just not being able to make it up some climbs.
My JKU had been parked at the cabin after Thanksgiving, so I planned to leave the TJ there and drive the JK home. But I had pretty much "pure" distilled water as I have been slowly flushing the coolant system. Temps are going to be in the 20's overnight for the next week, so I drained the radiator and replaced with a gallon of concentrated G05 and ran it for a good while to hopefully get it all circulated. What I drained was still pretty nasty looking, and I really didn't want to add anti-freeze until I was satisfied that things were flushed out, but I also figured the $17 was better than dealing with freeze plugs or whatever else might result.
Here she is going down the first big hill with several big steps to negotiate. And I took a bad line at the very end which made it harder than it needed to be. I am by no means "good" at any of this. But we get out there and do it just the same.
