Awesome day at SMORR today in Seymour Missouri. I was able to get two Jeep Badge of Honor badges, Peewees Crossing (not difficult), and Guardrail (moderate). Trails rated 1-6 difficulty. We stuck to 3-4 rated trails mainly. Most of the 6’s I couldn’t even walk up, rocker bouncer stuff or big tire crawlers only. Nothing broke, didn’t need the winch at all even though I did get high centered several times. Backing up and picking another line worked every time, awesome day. If you get a chance to check this place out, do it. It’s pretty nice, well marked trails and a good map. We gave the lockers a good workout today.
The highlight of the day was rescuing a broken JK that had been there over night. No start, no dash lights throwing every code in the book on the scanner. Owner was about to throw in the towel as several people had looked at it and he was ready to drop $400 on a tow truck as a last resort. My buddy Steve found the problem. His drag link clamp was clocked in the up position and was hitting the frame on the passenger side rail. It pinched his wiring harness in half. I spent 30 mins splicing and taping it back together to get him home. Zip tied it out of the way and it fired right up with no more trouble codes. He was pretty appreciative, and it felt good to fixing someone else's broken Jeep for a change. Glad I carry some tools, and some tape.
What I found:
How I left it after liberal application of electrical tape and zip ties. i turned the clamp to about 9 o'clock to prevent a repeat performance:
An excellent way to spend Mothers Day with my wife, and it was her idea!
