Adventure

Looks like I'll be missing out on this one as well. We have an Alaskan trip planned right after that weekend.

🙃Alright, I have questions....

I just uploaded it to YouTube in HD. Everything in the video was taken with my iPhone. I had a forward-facing Cam mounted on the front center of my roof rack and was taking videos and photos with it but when I went to upload the photos to my PC the memory card failed. I used recovery software on it and was only able to recover 3 very short clips and one photo of Miles under his truck. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSJ7CH8JP3A

It's the same 5L engine that's in your 2013 Sport now with all the same gremlins including the tensioner wear. It's basically the same overall, just more room in the back. If you are lucky and can find a unicorn get an HD package with the locking rear axle (E Diff).

I forgot to add the battery issues! Looks like Mavrik had that covered. Battery problems will throw all kinds of just plain wrong codes on a RRS. When you get several codes thrown all at once, 1st thing to look at is the Battery then check it a second time BEFORE moving on to something else.

2010-2013 RRS with the Jag 5.0L V8 Water Pump, Water Pump, Water Pump. It’s just like saying Beetlejuice. Look for light weeping around the pump or for the pump pulley not spinning true with the engine is running. If the pump was changed, make damn sure a new crossover pipe was used at the same time. Clutchfan – listen for slow ticking/clock/clunk noise from the fan when the engine is 1st started cold without revving the engine. High Pressure Fuel Pumps – listen for light ticking tapping sounds coming from the front lower passenger side of the engine. Timing Chain – Diesel sounding clack noises coming from the front/top of the engine. It’s not actually the chains, it’s the aluminum tensioners that will wear. If they were already changed out with the new design which reinforces the wear point on the arm, they will never have to be messed with again. Surround camera system – If the front bumper cams only show a blue screen with an X, more than likely it will need a complete updated front wiring harness for the cameras. The old design allows water intrusion into the harness connectors which will shut off the cams. The new harness (some done under warranty) will have fixed this recurring issue. Water Leaks – if the windshield was replaced the they did not replace all the retainers on the outer plastic A pillar covers (or reused them) and it leaks, you will find water staining on the A pillar fabric and just in front of the doors on the carpet at the floor. The water intrusion in this area over long periods of time can cause wiring harness corrosion issues. 2010-2013 RRS SC V8 – same issues as above but also add: SC bearings - Look for wobble/play or bearing noises coming from the SC nosecone area. You will know it when you hear it.

Why is this event not showing up on the NCLR Calendar? I just checked and it's not showing up, is it still a go?

We have a site booked to tent camp with our RRS & Maverick X3, add us to the list. Esten & Shawna

Always drive toward the ocean, never away.

Count us in. If we bring the Can-Am instead of our travel trailer I'll need a drop spot to leave it with you guys at camp. I think it would be a very bad idea to leave it on the trailer hooked up in a hotel parking lot overnight. I doubt I can talk Shawna into tent camping, we will see... -Esten

Kiddie pool drip pan? Really? That's a whole new level of Rover dripitude if you need to use that. Now on a serious note... Well done, the engine looks awesome! -Esten
