Railroad Springs? I guess if I had taken my new Costco Shovel out and dug down about 5ft, I may have found the Spring?
My first time on this Trail and probably my last. Nothing exciting, but it was beautiful and No People. So that’s always a good day on the Trail.
I guess I need 37” tires and a lift for this Trail. The ruts for the tracks were quite deep in several places, causing the “Center Median” strip to be high enough to give me only 3” of clearance. So it was try to straddle/ place the tires on the median or get out and move some mfing rocks that were protruding from it, waiting to take out my rear pumpkin. I’ve wanted to put a rock slider on the rear pumpkin, like I had on my Jeeps and Hummers but I cant seem to find one.
Ive also read somewhere that putting that on will cause the rear pumpkin to overheat, @FordTechOne, any opinion on the risk of overheating it, especially in outside temps above 105*?B94BCDCF-0F5C-4229-955A-4AB67F775DAD.jpeg99E583FD-BCE7-4947-A8DC-48D1518CE7BE.jpegA94962E1-FEAB-43E4-BE17-05AB5BBC6F6F.jpeg51154A5B-C28B-4C06-88CB-53027822F2B1.jpegAF35E9CF-88B2-4FA0-82A7-26D11161F105.jpeg
