I'll be spending this weekend fixing the stuff that broke on my XJ during the last Elbe Hills run I went on. Had a bad vibration coming from the front by the time I finished the 200+ mile trip home after wheeling Elbe all day. I gave the front driveshaft a good shake down by the front pinion thinking I had a bad U-joint. No such luck the driveshaft AND pinion yoke were moving about a quarter inch side to side. The good news is that my U-joint was fine. I'm thinking I can hopefully put in the new pinion seal I bought and tighten up the pinion nut and all will be good. We shall see.

Not sure on what time will work best, but i was thinking meet at the gas station outside of elbe around 10am sun morning if that works? The Explorer that is supposed to be comming the lift was actually installed professionally, but it definately doesn't look too pretty at all. I think the best thing that rig has going for it is the 8.8 rear, and its a 2dr sport. Unfortunately its not looking like the yota is going to make it though.
