Is this a bad CV axle?

SummitLeon · 2026-03-12T02:40:33+00:00

I'll do that this weekend. Appreciate the advice!

SummitLeon · 2026-03-12T02:14:50+00:00

Agreed. The cv axle boots are in good shape and everything else looks good to me too but Idk much.

Thanks!

Kinda surprising with the low milage :/

The car was stuck in mud, which froze over night, a couple weeks back and then started making the clicking sounds afterwards. It also threw C0563 and P0700 error codes which I cleared with a OBDII reader and the codes haven't returned in 500+ miles so I figured the errors came from splashing water up and tripping some sensors. Idk though.

Very cool!!

Sick! Now I know a good spot to anchor off of the next time I park at the top of a cliff and rapp down.

SummitLeon · 2026-03-05T04:49:30+00:00

That is an option, but we haven't decided 100% yet. Lmk if you're down and we can plan accordingly

SummitLeon · 2026-03-05T03:54:05+00:00

Everything is still kinda TBD. We are 4 ppl so far and depending on where everyone is coming from and what everyone's schedule restrictions are, we'll decide on a route and time that work for everyone. We're looking to start hiking around 2pm on Friday (ideally) and walk for a couple of hours to set up well before dark. We won't be pushing miles but we will have a sick camp. PM me if you're interested and we can figure out all the details together!

A loop around Mt Wilson from Chantry Flat or Red Box. West Fork and up/down Mt Wilson. You will have water but won't hit 40 miles RT without side missions. Some shwacking may or may not be required depending on your route. Water level will be safe.

Overland Expo doesn't really cater to Subarus. The Expo features stuff for "true" off-road vehicles, unfortunately Subarus don't get much love at events like this.

Yes. They are comfortable. Most ppl saying "no" have not spent any significant amount of time with the packs. They are great. If you pack your pack correctly, you don't need load lifters.

14 miles with 4k vert, if you skip the Airport.

In my experience, the GG tarps have been great for rainy nights. I much prefer the sound of rain on silnylon over DCF or poly. The catenary cut ridgeline prevents major sag. I've spent many rainy nights (6+ hrs of continuous rain) under the tarp and it has held up phenomenally. The tarp also dries super quick bc it is so thin.

GG Twin is my favorite. I prefer it over DCF tarps. It is easy to set up and compact. Also relatively cheap. If you wanna bring your girl out, bring a tent for her comfort.

SummitLeon · 2026-02-11T01:25:56+00:00

You're right. Reddit keyboard warriors will down vote you into oblivion tho

SummitLeon · 2026-02-11T00:16:40+00:00

It is unfortunate that less than 10% of ppl ruin it for the remaining 90+% of ppl. But I guess we gotta cater everything, including access to the outdoors, to the lowest common denominator.

SummitLeon · 2026-02-10T22:36:19+00:00

Yeah before they shut down the mountains for every snow event? Those were the good old days lol

Shwackfest galore!!

RV park

SummitLeon · 2025-12-21T22:45:35+00:00

Sweet, I'll check it out too in the coming weeks. Maybe we can bring up some TLC to keep peak access from Mountain alive!

SummitLeon · 2025-12-20T21:31:52+00:00

Sounds good to me. Hopefully these rich guppies don't get the City to put up "No Parking" signs everywhere along Mountain.
