    Went wheeling in Huntsville a weekend or two ago. The little mudpit wasn't so little and I got some funny pictures of it.







    It was my first time out with the new tires and it was so much better than before. But damn my mileage around cstat sucks now. Highway is ok.

    I hired somebody to build me some tube bumpers next week so that'll be really cool to get those on.

    Got the new bumper on there. It's pretty simple but I like it.



    The kid who welded it said he'd add a skid plate once he's got some left over sheet metal.

    I also recharged my AC and my engine keeps overheating when it's hottest out now that I've got the AC on. My coolant looks pretty nasty so I'm going to do a flush and also add an aux fan to my radiator. Of course I had the bumper welded on though, and now it will be a bitch to get to the radiator with the bumper in the way. I'll also have to move the transmission cooler over to make room.

    Also my right hub keeps exploding on me.



    Weirdest thing, it's happened twice now. I was climbing and whenever I put some gas into it, it just blew up. Sparling suggested it could be the u joints so I'll check that out.

    I had a bad axle shaft u joint and a unit bearings on that side when my hub blew up. I replaced both on the same day so it could have been either one or the combination of the two. I would put in both u joints on that side and repack the bearings and make sure they are tight when you put it back together.

    I'll give it a shot. That u joint will probably be a pain to get to. Are unit bearings another word for wheel bearings or is that something different?
