Yes I remember your wreck :P
I broke my steering column with my face and ribs.

Rollovers are safer in these things. I just got a bruise on my arm

So a racing harness wouldn't really help in a wreck? Just a rollover.

Harness will always be better, if properly mounted.

But a regular seatbelt will save you.

Especially keep you off the steering wheel and windshield

Ok I'm baffled. I replaced the clutch master cylinder and bled the lines. Now the transmission will only go in gear with it not running. If it sits for a couple of days it shifts fine. I also noticed the cap on the master cylinder I just replaced seams stripped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

So what is the best way of mounting a harness without a roll cage? Are they long enough to mount to the floor somehow?

Honestly you'll be fine with a seatbelt. I smashed into a tree around 40mph with only a few bruised ribs and an aching back for a few days.

Just finished riding some trails since 10am. Bout 90 degrees out but front driveshaft is very hot and transfer case is untouchable. This normal for <10 mph crawling all day due to exhaust heat?

I got hit on having no lines for my fuel evap. I bought the vacuum line, but from the evap, where does the line end up? On the fuel hat?

Probably so. Dont know why the shaft would be that hot but the t case probably would heat up, oil filter might have trash on it and cant pump a lot of fluid, granted it is driven off the main gear...

Reverse lights wont come on. Fuse is good, not getting voltage in the light socket... NSS? Doesnt have any starting issues.

Is that a separate question? First sentence indicates NSS or bad lead/ground.

Sorry for typing that rickety. I dont know where the ground would be but im guessing its the NSS...

I'm going to use this http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoNSSrebuild.htm

And check for continuity.

While in reverse the A and E pins read infinite so im guessing the contacts are dirty.

Right. Shaft could be handled but it was still rly hot. Case itself couldn't b touched. Idk. No issues with it.
