    Best I can tell - running Elvis earlier this year. I believe I bent axle and compromised the bracket then which broke running washboarding (not aired down) on the trip west from Nogales. I did capture a picture of the jeep at the start of my trip for Nogales and you can clearly see the bent axle.

    Injury Report: While exploring Guadalupe Canyon and Ruby Mine west of Nogales last week I bent Vaal's driver side axle back and up... and sheared off the track bar on the front. Had to wobble out to Arivaca, AZ for the tow ride home (Thanks AAA Premium). Here's the damage:

    Migrated the JK-R 2-Door to the new Bestop Glide fastback soft top. The old top is worn out but if you need any of the frame components... I have the whole thing available to you. No cost. I am in Tucson.

    Two reasons. And One 1. I wanted the new features of the glide top to ease up/down and window removals. 2. The 11 year old top was torn in places, all zippers were jamming and the rear window zipper was flat out broken. 3. It was a gift from my dad 🙂

    Second Update: Retired the CB Radio for GMRS: https://midlandusa.com/products/mxt275-micromobile-two-way-radio This is overall a much better experience on the trail than CB. With a decent aftermarket antenna the radio is as high quality sound and reliability as a HAM radio on 70cm. I am still running the Ham radio VHF/UHF from a HT in the cab with external antenna.
