Check your hitches.
Went to Evan's just to play it safe after all the mods and/or repair I just got done with (roughly $1000 and 100 man hours into labor from my run-in with some trees) I wanted to make sure the drive wasn't wasted on something stupid failing on the trail. It was a good decision. Apparently I forgot a retaining ring when assembling my steering box. All was good in the garage, again in the driveway for about 20 mins of testing it out. With five minutes of trail time, and a fountain is what I had. I have no pictures, but it was a massive flow of fluid, I promise. Made a trail fix to minimize the flow OUT the box and all was good. Played in the snow for an hour or two. I loaded up and headed home with high hopes of actually wheeling this spring/summer.
Seriously, check your hitches.
That's my hitch less than one mile from home.
