This was my first and last trip to the Rim in a full size outfit. I have done several times after in a RZR.

After yesterday’s hike up Moab Rim, my old man Gunner wasn’t up for the hike along Mill Creek today. We cut it a bit short and I found a shady spot next to the river to eat my lunch. Gunner was happy to find the shade. You can barely see him in the photo! You can just make out some vehicles at potato salad hill through the trees.

It’s not awesome. I may be ok? It will need a little file work for sure. Some of the spindle threads are a little buggered. I’d assume I’ll need a new axle if the spindle is junk?
You CAN just replace the spindle....but I probably wouldn't bother. A new axle would be a bunch faster and easier.

It would be the way to go. I'm either wanting to run the axle up to Best Deal in Price, have Rory Irish take a look at it or booger file the threads with a thread file to see if I can clean up some of the boogers and limp it home. I wonder if there's an axle here in Moab (because I agree with you)

How long are you in Moab? I'm driving my truck down Wed morning. Going Hanksville way but could bring an axle down and meet you in Green River.

You need a part? In Moab? During EJS? Yeah, nearest available part is in Topeka and the fastest they can get it to you will be Thursday. Oh, wait, that’s to Grand Junction.*

Advantages to having a removable floor. Easy installation of a 150 lb tcase that’s smooth and has no good hand holds. Tree strap and cherry picker for the win.

Spindle seems like it’s fixed. I had to use the castle side of the nut, a small file, some super cheap sand paper from the Dollar General and a cold chisel (VERY gently and deliberately) to clean the threads. Seemed to work pretty well? I’m going to try to find a die tomorrow if possible or a couple more spindle nuts should do the trick. The new nut will tell me how well I did.
I will know if I need an axle tomorrow afternoon.
