Wheel this weekend

We are suppose to get a decent amount of snow so if anything changes let me know. Likewise, it could slow my travel times down but I'll keep you posted.

it is icy but that's what makes it fun, we camped out had a nice little fire.







Did y'all end up going? What did the trails look like?
We did go and it was a blast. The snow was a couple feet deep in some spots but we had a great time. There was a lot of winching but it's always good to use your recovery equipment every once in awhile.

My front locker was hit or miss. If it was working I would've tackled a lot more but the ole xj did surprisingly well and only got stuck on the very steep rock climb on iron clads. Couldn't get traction on the ice and just spun on the rocks 3/4 of the way up.

My front diff is currently taken apart and she'll be good as new this week (also developed a small leak). I think my actuator was frozen, thus the front cable wouldn't fully engage the locker.

Didn't take many pics but here's what I got.

That. Is. Awesome. Great photos. Got to love ice. That's the issue with air and e-lockers... They work great until they don't... Or, I guess any locker. I do like the Aussie in my front. It hasn't given me any issue on the roads in 4hi, just a bit noisy, handles well, you do have to let off sometimes to correct it, no biggie (knock on wood). Unfortunately we had a buddy pass, good man, fighting the good fight in N. Africa. So we went and built a fire and passed a whisky bottle around... I need to catch up and meet everyone. looks like a great time...

That is a good lookn 2dr too.
