All in all it was a great trip with friends. Gave my friend her first wheeling experience, spent 1.5 hours trying to put in an alternator in the sun at 85° (never done an alternator before) an I got alittle heat strokey from that. I still have to get my terminal done, and I just dropped some coin on fluids for an internal overhaul it probably needs. Coolant flush, trans drain and fill, redo diff fluids and put on that Ruff Stuff cover I have.
Also got alittle wobble on the way back. Not exactly full blown death wobble, but a bit of a shake at 50mph at first, hasn't happened since though.
Got the bad terminal replaced. And I noticed yesterday afternoon this wierd loud knocking sound coming from somewhere in the engine. From the oil pan. I'm worried it's a rod knock, but I'm not sure because it started to sound like more of a rattling sound, but mainly on acceleration and then it goes away.
No. It was only when I first got on the highway when we left. Only happened for that little bit and hasn't returned since. Most likely something with the steering or just mud on my wheels

yeah more than likely mud in the rim or something along those lines.
Wanted to take the doors off today, but some of the torx bolts were starting to round off so I stopped before I messed up. Then went to change my transmission filter and the new one I got didn't come with a gasket, so I stopped there. Instead I changed my air filter... and mowed the lawn.
Engine's gonna breathe so good it won't know what to do lol
I just wanted to drop in a say how much I've enjoyed your build thread. I've read it from start to finish as I am making plans for my Jeep, I am looking towards yours to make some of my decisions.
You've got a great looking Jeep... all the way up through the "body mods" you started making with trees back in April I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with it.

Hey thanks man I appreciate it that means alot. You've got a great project ahead of you! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Just ordered AresFab rear Expedition bumper in cut and fold style (for whenever I get to that). My stock one is dicked pretty bad. Best part is that it's tire carrier ready, Hopefully will be getting that soon so I can clear hatch space.
