Fucking rad. Just get to Mammoth by noon if you can. It's gonna be a long morning at work for me that day. All I'm going to want to do is leave. Actually that's just like a normal day now that I think about it. Lol

Just from following these dudes I’d say spare belts and hoses, lbj’s, lbj bolts, 2 axles. Then of course all your usual fluids and shit
If your @Hank you bring driveshafts.
If your @Mike_taco4x4 you bring steering rag joints.
If your @AssBurns you bring CV's.
If your @Tetten you bring gear oil.
If your me you bring LBJ's, spindles, tie rods and hope to hell your rig makes it through without needing any of that shit.
Lbjs and lbj bolts aren't an issue after 05. Hoses aren't typically either. Belts, CV axles, and tie rods are what I usually carry regardless where I'm going. I've recently added some caliper bolts and a spare panhard bolt/but. For trips such as Rubicon and dusy, which I won't make either this year, I'll be adding a spare regeared 3rd, driveshaft and spindles.

Thanks for the reminder I need to get my spare drive shaft retubed before this trip. it’s been in the bed of the ford since our last trip on the taco eater waterfall.

Any of you have square driveshafts? Rather simple to swap out at the trailhead and very unlikely to damage one.
Unlikely.
Reminds me. I have a nice vibration on mine now. Need to take it to get retubed. How much did you pay for yours?
We drive more than 30mph...

Yeah from what I've seen retubes usually run about the same for us regardless of the shop, if you've got more things fucked up it adds some to it

@Mike_taco4x4 did you take Thursday off too?
If not he'll be sick
My vacation request was approved yesterday. i took Thursday-Monday. Only thing that will stop me is not getting my truck ready.
Sweet. I'm sure your mechanic can get your clutch in for you in a few hours. Lol

who me? I already told mike that it's just a Saturday project.
Not you. I thought he was planning on paying a shop to do it. Are you going to help him with it?

Cool, I'm liking the idea of starting Thursday after Matt gets up there and getting some miles in before we set up camp, hopefully we'll get far enough ahead we don't see any of the groups friday/Saturday. Just the jeep club that will be coming the opposite way
