Oh yes good old Santiago Peak. Rolled my first off road vehicle on top of that pile of dirt (Toyota not a JEEP). It was 1986 and first date with my then girlfriend. Yeppers I know how to leave an impression. Been together ever since. Summer is a busy time for me so maybe ill be able to ride with you in the fall. I'll keep an eye out on the outings. I've gotta be able to get to one sooner or later.

Same here! Good times. Made amazing time coming down from the top.
Yep got to ditch the sway bar when you hit dirt, you never know what you may come across

No, didn't make it up. About a mile after hitting the trail we noticed Juans jeep was smoking. Found it was leaking trans fluid pretty bad and dripping onto the exhaust so we decided to head back down. Once we started to leave Juans jeep then decided it didn't want to start. Bad crank sensor. After letting it sit awhile and Juan dumping bottles of water on it we finally got it started. Jumped in our jeeps and headed home. Didn't even hit the dirt, but it was still an adventure.

Picked up a full set of RC X-Flex Control Arms, Currie Currectlync HD Steering, and spare Dana 30 axle shafts (easier to put in new shafts on the tail then to have to press out U-Joints and install new ones) and new SS Braided Brake Lines to replace the ones i ripped last month.

And last installing a new engine to body Heavy Duty ground cable. Got this idea from Peacefrog53... his is even more massive. This ground cable for the engine is very important.

Finally got my jeep done!!!! She shifts like dream!!! So far!!! After two months of trying to figure out what was causing the Rpms to go crazy and no down shifting.... I find out that my transmission solenoids were fried !!!!! I got a kit for 200 bucks!!! Not bad compared to two shops saying that my transmission was toast and I need a new one!!!! I didn't know this was a common thing for our xj!!! So heads up if u think your transmission is going !!! it just needs new batteries!!!! !!! Hope to see everyone soon!!!
