Default Rubicon run complete

Sorry for the non post prior but was nervous about my guide skills. Ran rubicon this weekend and other than a couple valve stems and a tweaked drag link, was a successful run. Great weekend to be outside

Nice, glad everything went well. I've heard valve stems are a common problem, especially on the old 5-spoke rims.

I'd probably be up for 11/15 if some others can make it, and weather permitting of course. Maybe run to Buck and back since the day will be much shorter.

Hopefully my tires will last that long, all this driving to SF and back daily is wearing them fast...may have to buy some 37's.

.....and some mud flaps

my buddy has his tpms sensors in still on his mt wheels. They have metal valve stems which makes it worse. He had to borrow my spare from rubicon springs back to the city. My drag link bent such that my steering wheel was at 90 degrees while driving straight, thought I bent an axle at first but looks like just the link. Rotated the coupling back so wheel was centered and drove it home.

lease a leaf. I'm paying 140 a month right now for one. Cheaper than putting gas in the minivan. 11/15 will not fly for me most likely. I'm screwed for the whole month on November. But I like the idea of run in and out to buck, we did all our carnage after buck
