I had a really good post written up about all the things I’ve been up to lately.  Then my computer ate it.  This will undoubtedly be a weak facsimile of the original.  Your humble narrator forges ahead nonetheless.

I built a new Transfer Case for my Jeep.  As usual, I don’t have a lot of pictures of the build process, but I do have some thoughts and hopefully some jokes to share about it.  This is what the inside of a transfer case looks like…

I’m finally starting to get on some trail runs again now that the Jeep has stopped breaking for a little while.  I got to run Ajax Mine trail with a bunch of other Jeeps like mine, and it was an awesome, desperately needed day in the dirt.  This is also the beginning of a new Arizona-only, WJ-only group I’ve become a part of on FB.  Elitist enough for you, lol?

I’ve also got some write-ups for the WJ guys coming up soon.  Mainly, the ultimate track-bar-upgrade-death-wobble-cure.  Or at least I say so.  We’ll see what happens…

I dabbled in tech a bit over the last few weeks too with a phone upgrade to the Samsung Note 4.  There’s no root for the Verizon version of this phone, which is the one I have, so I’ve had to implement some interesting workarounds to get things to work the way I want them to.  I’ll try my hand at writing a tech piece on the experience some time this week.  This is what the outside of a phone looks like…

Other than that, I’ve got a pretty busy summer ahead of me:  I’m hoping to host at least two more trips for the AZWJ group, a road trip to Houston, one or two trips with NAU4x4, and a huge trip to Moab (if my buddy gets off his ass and starts building his rig).  And I’m sure there will be the odd build post here and there.

Reckon that means I might should get to work…
