I'm going to try to get more/better video of the FJ going through the whoops. I only took a few minutes of video last time because I wasn't sure how it'd turn out. Not bad for a phone. Going to try some different angles, hopefully get some more rigs in it too. Anyone have a suggestion for what time we should go? 1:00 work for everyone?

Well, my motor seized between when we left and I got home. Guess the mud dried inside it. With lots of water and compressed air I managed to free it up. Ordering a new one to keep on standby.... My FR C hub screw came out again, so I'm either going to have to replace those or fill em with putty and re-tap. Overall not a bad day, guys. Had lots of fun, gotta make some cheap repairs. See you guys when I get back from FL.

The screws I used on the chubs were the ones that came in the original kit. Suppose I overtightened em..... They do just go into plastic afterall. Not too wet. You could stay completely dry with no trouble if u had the desire to. We, for some reason feel like we must submerge our crawlers....

I appreciate it, but I just ordered some before I saw this post. Have another problem now. Think I somehow left my radio out there. Its not here at the house or in my truck. Can't imagine leaving it behind, but was trying to get the kid in the truck.......

Yes, all metal gears this time around. No luck on the radio. Had to get a new one...... Not happy about it, but I bet I never do that again!

You can count me out for that trip. To close to the holidays to go that far. I should be able to go up there after the new year.
