They talked me into bringing the JKU along and turns out I was the smallest tire and stockest vehicle in the Group on one of the hardest trails in Oklahoma...
 
hopefully this one doesn't have that blue jk. She's the worst

What do you have against the Scottish Hammer?

Who shows up to a park and then decides to replace all their suspension joints for funsies? Who shears their steering clamp at least 3 times and doesn't carry a spare?

Also really impressive you took the jk through there. Why no megarzr? the heat?

They aren't super mechanically inclined so they have people work on their jeep for them. They need to just replace that single shear ram mount with a double shear one. In their defense the Jeep was supposed to be "trail prepped" for them and wasn't.

I asked Marvin of FRR which one I should bring and he said the JK, I had no idea the trail we would be running or I would have brought the RZR. the AC was nice to have though!

DIY4x made me a double shear clamp on my old JKU (i think your friend has it now, Gray Rubicon with a blue cage). Clamp is beefy AF

There's only one person on the FRR videos that I generally don't care to listen to, and it's the HP Tuners lady. I don't know her name. Northern lady? But, I met her husband at the Ultra4 race. He was a super nice dude. Stood there and talked to me about their rig for a minute. So I'll give them a pass for now...
Other than that, they all seem to be doing stuff that I am super jealous of and hope they keep knocking out videos that my kids and I can keep drooling over.
 
You got some really cool/creative camera angles for some of those rock climbs and impressed by the JK making it through there.

Does the bullfrog/leaky ARB not drive you insane in the membrane?

It does for sure. I have taken the ARB out and fixed it 3 times until it finally cracked the locker itself. That is where the leak is coming from. Only solution now is to weld it into a spool or buy a new ARB or new OX locker and I don't really want to do either. I might just put a tank on it so the compressor won't run so often.

I knew you had attempted to fix it a couple of times and don't blame you on not wanting to buy a new locker.

Trail wise I'd like to get your opinion, was that too difficult of a trail for a 24 hour ride? Spending 24 hours on a single, less than 2 mile trail seems quite long when you have 3700 acres around you.

22.5 hours is taking pictures and videos (because that is the whole point of a media event).

Kinda like a lot of the Ultimate Adventure, drive a day, run 1 trail...

They ran two when they came to aop a couple years back. That was cool as **** to see though.

Correct when you have over a dozen rigs and you all stop at every single obstacle to video a single trail this difficult and can and will take all 24hrs to conquer. Not to count all of the break downs and carnage that had to be repaired and held up the entire group. We went back to camp for a couple hours to eat dinner as well.

sounds kinda like a job or something... :unsure: :flipoff1:

I'm glad y'all wheel like that to make content and show lots of cool places, because that would drive me nuts if every "ride" I went on was like that.
