It was an awesome time! Everyone was super nice & helpful. We initially lined up with the Easy group, but then this smaller Moderate group who formed up off to the side asked if we wanted to run with them. They took us to the 101 obstacles to show us the ropes, then we gradually worked up in difficulty through the day. I had no idea our XJ was that capable at this stage of the build!!! Rock sliders are next on the list.
The transfer case shifter linkage was a pain all day, so I'll be tearing into that this week. (Could use a hand if your or anyone else has done it before.) I had to hold the shifter up with my right hand whenever we came into rough stuff. No joke, my right arm is still sore!
We're doing the MWJT members only run on the 8th in Wright City.

Boostwerks sells a great kit for the transfer case linkage.. I installed it last week.

That's great.. did you bang up the rockers a few times? I have 0 underside armour. It's on my list for sure.

I am definitely investing in that kit! Thanks!!!
You won't regret joining the group. Family friend culture and great people. If you do, can you make the Wright City event on the 8th?

Pics are always a given with us! When you do get your XJ out, bring some of those snappy decals. "This Side Up" is going on our XJ!

I got my Midwest Jeep Thing membership card and stickers today! I'm looking forward to the next run. I also don't have much underside protection yet, but I'll just stick to the easy trails until I beef up the rig a little more.

That's awesome! It's going to be a great time. Daughter is wanting some wheel time anyway, so easy trails are perfect for us during this next outing.

Nice. I got the stickers you make, and they are awesome by the way. I really like the little Jeep climbing up the corner of the windshield.

Scored a factory XJ gas tank skid plate & the two shields (not sure if I needed them, but wasn't going to leave them there), and two V8 ZJ tie rods at the junkyard this weekend! Ordered the dust boots from Energy Suspension. Hoping for enough time to get the parts installed before this weekend's run. If not, we'll stick to the easy & mild/moderate trails. Plus, I still need to get our TC protected. The factory skid plate on the junkyard XJ was banged up & rusted.

Speedway. Get a price going in for the tie rod. There was at least one more good one when I was there yesterday. Price range from $6 to $16, depending on who and their mood.

Ha.. I haven't been there in ages... its quite a haul from here, but I think they have the some of the best selection in the area.
Fenton Salvage folks are really nice... lots of ZJ's too.. little to no XJ's.
