    29th ORT In The Lone Ranger – 1-1-15 Washita MX

    Well I managed to sneak another trip in with the truck for our annual New Years Day run. I didn’t get to wheel the truck as much as I would have like to have as 3 of the Jeeps I was running around with suffered some failures (Dead hub/locker, Popped shaft, no start).

It’s been over a year since I’ve made the trip down there so it was nice to get back to the old stomping grounds, even if it was 200°F out side! Needless to say it was extremely dry which limited traction quite…

    We headed down to SMORR with several folks from SIJA and MO4wd. Some familiar faces and some strangers. Good times were had. Lots of photos in the link below: Slideshow of all the photos (Click Me!) Loaded up the truck and went to work on Friday, patiently waiting for the bell to ring to head South: We had to make a quick stop in Rolla for some grub and check out the XJ’s steering. It turned out that the ram…
