May have found a wheeling buddy! Apparently one of my old elementary friends from my old private school. Got an xj on 32s for Christmas...

Coolio! I don't even know of any legal wheeling places around here except the mud runs in Harpswell but that's for kids with money to blow. You know, kids who bought their own lobster boats when they were 15 and make a solid $200+ profit in a day in the peak of the season. They all have full size trucks on like 35s. Kid in my town has a lifted cummins with bumper and stacks and a sled deck (if you don't know what that is, check Em out.) AND a ram 1500 on 10" of lift. He has had, in the past couple years, at least 2 snowmobiles, a dodge srt4, lifted jeep Wj, Yamaha r6, Kawasaki zx6, Honda 250 dirt bike, Yamaha grizzly, dual axle enclosed trailer, Honda del sol, etc haha. I can't keep up with the rigs kids like those can afford

My jeep will be taking a back seat for the first time in 2 years.(It's entire life in my name...) I'm going to trim the inner fenders. Soon and I'm the spring I'll do 2x6 rockers then start Armor. But till spring I'm starting to build an AR 15!

Taking a back seat to school? Another vehicle? Life in general?

Well ordered the first part for my AR 15 so the jeep will not get anything new until I finish building that in April sometime.

Well yesterday I deemed the jeep in the best driving condition it'd been since it was stock! (As I knock on wood) no more shakes or shimmys. And mutt steering is tight and it responds without 40° if play.. and no abnormal vibrations at the moment(besides the engine you always feel that because of the polyurethane engine mount bushings) only thing that could be better are the breaks. Because the rear doesn't self adjust I'm pretty sure I'm just using the front at the moment.

Well yesterday I flexed it out to see how much I need to trim up the front(the new tires actually have tread they have a wider diameter). And when doing this I found it the one part in the steering I haven't replaced was bad. The drag link. So in spent all day doing that. and didn't even touch the fenders. But I definitely need to trim the front more!
