Thanks, jou are fantastic and delever a very informative video. Thank you ever so much.

Note - A lot of trails like Bill Nichols Trail is part of Michigans ORV trail system and need purchase ORV Trail pass, about $35 total. Unless you are on a named national forest road than normal plates on your vehicle you are ok.

At the end you say you dont have lockers yet. Whats going on .

Cut up and the tree will brake away from your bar and not get pinched , don’t cut from the top down

So first off this vid is a life saver. Never changed these inner retainer clip style u joints before. Dumb design imo. Second, during reassembly of the driver side on my 95 xj, I spun the hub by hand, after tightening the spindle nut to spec. Bearings feel fine but i watched the inner shaft wobble as it spun in the new seal. Steering set straight. Might this be the true source of the mysterious vibrations? Better question, how might i determine if its the stub, or the inner shaft? Kinda liking the look of 100 bucks or so for a whole new cv axle assembly. Heard mixed thoughts on cv vs u-joint

How is the welder holding up today ?

Don't have a winch yet but wonder if using some heat shrink on about about 6" or 8" of the end you need to fasten to the drum?

Mine's still in the box but I plan on doing a pedal and wheels. Good video 👍🏻

Looked like a fun weekend. Love cooking over the fire w/foil. Good stuff Dan! Now go wash the Bronco~! ;-p

@FlawedOffroad Do you think this model can handle being upgraded to a 30 press?

This was fun. Would've loved to have seen the swamp at the end of the forest service road. I can't imagine turning around was an easy task with that trailer. Looking forward to part 2, thanks for sharing.

Good family memories.

When I was a teenager we would go camping out in the Jasper Pulaski park, there is/was a gun range and a fire tower. We would get up early and go climb up the fire tower to watch the sunrise, good times. We called those "silver dollar meals", hamburger, onion, potato, carrots, cheese and whatever else you had, hmm I miss camping, need to go out again some time soon.

Good times good vid i drove my friends new bronco and loved it not sure if the gladiator rubi should go for a bronco or not the bronco rides much nicer

Mackinaw Bridge makes alot of people nervous especially the Mesh see through road section at top. The State professional drivers upon request at toll gate will drive your vehicle and pasengers accross Bridge at NO extra charge and they drive anything Car Rv Semi truck trailer and any Motorcycle while Biker rides in chase car that follows and picks up State driver .

Fantastic and very informative video. Thank you ever so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻😉

Good thing it was super dark when you were lumberjacking. I'm pretty sure you did it wrong. 🤣😂

I love overlanding. This is the kind of thing you do to get your mind right. There are actually studies in the psychology field that talk about the therapeutic effects of sitting around a campfire. I do it as often as I can. Looking forward to part 2.

"I'm about to have my own logging operation." HAHAHA

@FlawedOffroad, Great video but unfortunately, the Original AMC 86 1/2 YJ (Before the sale of Chrysler was complete) came with a NP207 transfer case. Just curious if you have heard if it were possible to adjust the NP207 for the speedometer gear. I'm guessing the NP207 is not adjustable and I'll need to replace it if I wanted to correct my speedo?

For anyone watching this in the future, I wish I had a welder. If I did, my solution for securing the pins holding the press apron up would be to weld something onto the press apron. when the apron is set down on the pins, it can't slide out either side. Specifically, I'd weld a half pipe, sized to fit the pin, onto the press apron and attach a washer to the outside ends of the 4 half pipes. I plan on doing something similar with a 3d printed part.

Thanks for this video, others I watched had nice clean parts. Mine are rusty, dented trail beaten. Will look to your channel for future fixes.

Great video. The CB radio is a fine compliment to the jamboree.

I have to wonder how much of a difference some of the extra difficult sections would be if the passenger hopped out? Try it a second time, minus the three hundred lbs.?

I appreciate the illustrations.

another clueless "expert" - power goes to the wheel with least traction. Hah! Power does not go anywhere. Power is a measurement of work done. If you mean the force that moves your truck (torque) - that force (torque) always goes equally to both wheels. No matter what you believe. S cience is not about believing. Get your physics book ot. Torque in an open diff is ALWAYS applied equally to both wheels.

do you need to set backlash and pre load again if only doing a carrier / ring gear swap?

If you have a bare end, tie a series of constrictor or clove hitches across drum, it'll bite and avoid losing the rope off the drum in an inopertune time. It will also stop any slipping around on a roughed up drum.

I’m just wanting to build an overland suburban. I’ve been thinking about ox lockers for yrs. It’s a budget build so it’s better money spent imo because I don’t need all the extra stuff to have a locker. But the caveat to my hesitation is there’s a lot of people who talk trash on the OX lockers. Is it because they are actually bad or is it because everyone is in a money spending competition? I also like the idea of making everything mechanical and is what I’m building my barn door burb around. NV4500, OX lockers, NP205/203 doubler with triple stick. I’m also potentially keeping it TBI and just going through it with a fine tooth comb and getting it running perfect because it’s just rock solid reliable and it’s capable of cheap upgrades plus a cam upgrade. Long story short I just want to build the truck once and drive it. It’ll only see off-road once in a blue moon so I’m probably just going with a Dana 44/ 14 bolt full float setup.

that was fun.

Awesome video!! Really enjoyed watching.

Nice video! What impact gun is that running a dewalt battery?

The man is not kidding about these Chinese manifolds and headers. I have not found one yet where at least one hole is misaligned.

I can almost smell the oil in your garage... 😀

Yankum stuff is to expensive for me .. $1240 plus tax and shipping for this kit. gezzzzz

I hear ya. Print instructions!

Dumb question - the original manifold didnt have a 2nd hole in it like the one you installed - what is that other hole for? Does anything need to plug into that or does that just stay open?

Did you say "measure none-ce? lol

There seems to be a correlation between drilled holes not lining up and cutting a board straight😂😂😂

Use the original jack to open the space, put in a long piece of 2X4, let the origianl jack down, set the new one in the spot. You work too hard. Also, the smallest vice grips make a handle in 5 seconds

Good job man.. those underneath installs and video capture is tough. I just finished posting a video on my metalcloak control arm install. Great job buddy.

Yeah, I'm with you on the QR code thing. Maybe it's just the Gen-X in me, but I much prefer paper instructions, especially when my hands and arms are covered in oil, grease, and who knows what else. Plus, I would be looking at my phone under the vehicle and drop it right on my forehead or glasses. A little trick on those tubes, a little Vaseline goes a long way, but spitting on it seemed to work good enough. Great video, Dan. Looking forward to the next one.

I just did ball joints, noticed it's probably time for u joints while I was down there. You did a great job explaining, and I actually don't feel too bad about doing these now. Thanks!

Loved this! I live in Eagle River WI and I have to say the winters tend to be shorter the closer to the lake or warmer the further south you go. I’m in the snow belt, a term I’d never heard before moving here. We are still having a lot of friction between snowmobiles and property owners so I’m not sure how a map could stay accurate from season to season. (We also had a higher number than normal of snowmobiler deaths this past winter.) Can’t wait to see your other videos!

There is not a fire tower on that road anymore, I was excited about it too but all that’s left is the cement block foundation where the tower was bolted to

can one winch out under load, for lower something down.curious serious question

Glad I found this channel. Bro’s hilarious
