Ok, tore the front end down. Drained both forks and disassembled the leaking leg. Bushings look good. Even the seals look good (inspected using a magnifying glass) but there was a lot of dirt in them. As typical for these forks the oil was filthy with just about 45 hours on it.
Trying to figure out how to get the rebound rod/stack out. Do I have to remove the clicker end? Also, do I just unscrew the nut around the rod going in to the aluminum tube (section w/the preload adjuster)? What about the cartridge section from the tube?

The deeper the sand the more you need to increase your corner entry speed and steer with the rear keeping the front light.

My issue is that with our rides/races it is never just sand or hard pack/rocks. It's always a mixture to some degree and the rocks are brutal out here sometimes so I need it to be very compliant to keep from being beat to death. I figure I can use the PFP to help find a good balance once my valving is sorted.
