I’m about to go get a tire fixed…this is how my morning is starting. Must have picked up a nail or something. Nothing obvious I can see.

“Winterized” it.
This means installing winter wiper blades (it needed new wipers anyway) and sandbags in the bed, covered with a small wood deck I built last year.

I see you’re a risk taker…
I’m glad this wasn’t a “Help - I think I popped my CV!” thread

I popped the CV Axle nut loose, backed it off about a 1/2" or more, I had room to play.Good job! Rangers look so good levelled.

I started reading that…”I popped the CV axle” at thought, “”Oh no!”I popped the CV Axle nut loose, backed it off about a 1/2" or more, I had room to play.
Just so you know for next time or if you help out a friend, you can take the nut right off and push the splined axle out of the knuckle and out of the way. Super easy to get it all back together.
It’s also a lot easier to maneuver the knuckle if you pull the rotor and calliper before you begin. Sure, it takes a couple of extra minutes but you already have the necessary tools out and it’s soooo worth it. No need for a cargo strap to hold it up or a jack under it like some folks do.

Drove up into Cherokee National Forest to fish a stream I hadn’t fished before. Was able to soak in the cool crisp autumn air and colors. Caught a few fish as well. Fall sure is purty

Played with the settings on the BW hitch I just got. Since truck is lifted now.
Loaded the trailer up to about 4K total pulled it around a bit since I haven’t towed anything since I got it lifted.. It wasn’t too bad.
I’m thinking I may drop the hitch a little lower it’s set at about 8” drop.. I can go one inch more but idk…
The squat drives me a little nuts but it is what it is for me right now.

Your Rangers looking good Bryan! The squat isn't to bad but just don't let it get any worse or you'll be in violation of R5G TOS.Played with the settings on the BW hitch I just got. Since truck is lifted now.

Pulled out of Arkansas for the last time! Heading to Tucumcari, NM where we’ll spend tonight and tomorrow then finally heading back home to AZ on Thursday morning. We (mostly me) wanted to take an extra day to just relax and not rush like we always do so we’re hanging around NM for the day Wednesday. One bonus is we get to eat at the Mexican restaurant La Cita we always visit while we’re there. I can hear the Chimi calling my name. lol
Annie wanted one more fire in the fireplace so she got her wish. It wasn't even that cold last night just raw from all the rain the last 4 days. It was 80* in here and of course she's dressed in a long shirt and leggings and still cold while I'm sweating in shorts and a tank top.
