Well did the 1 person manual bleed ,nothing like propping the pedal to the floor and making trips back and forth to open/ close the bleed screw and then prop/un prop brake pedal...But I will be bailing on the Forum crew since the Chinakee is going tomorrow, And I'll be waiting to go then ...If I thought I was not too late to catch the group I would run it twice , but it's already 1030 , And I'm sure it's 2 late to catch up .

I ran way behind on my oil plus from what it looks like. I don't think the new gasket and sealant held. I even replaced the old rear main seal about 5-6 months ago. I can't get rid of this frickin leak!

Yeah...but Chinakee wants to tame Cleveland rock with his now ARB locked front ,as last time he was denied with his open front ...I'm still waiting for him to blow up that Dana 30 running 4.88's ARB ...and 40's , yes 40's on a locked but pretty much stock d30 ... I'll just needd to take pics and phot shop them in with the groups pics , and then it will look like we all went together ...lol

His steering is only upgraded as far the tie rod/drag link being heavy DOM ,but the steering box is still stock XJ no assist ,I think he gussted the box ,but it's bone stock turning 39.5 Iroks ...The rear is a d60 cut to stock track width ,and redone with big bearings and 35 spline Currie shafts arb/4:88's ,,,He has since used spacers to try to widen it up since the narrowing was done when on 36's ,and he wanted it wider with the 40's ...The d30 has been trussed and he trussed the stock knuckles with some extra metal , But it's been holding for him ,and he has done a few good trails without breakage ...YET , But he does try to drive an obstacle much more gingerly than I do ,As I love my right pedal .

Not sure ?...But it has held up for awhile ,and he's done some of the harder trails Colorado has . I just got off the phone with him ,and it seems a few of our group is cancelling out on Holy Cross , so I'm running Chinamans tomorrow , And he is probably going to go also , But he's not super interested in that trail since he's done it many times already , But I've not done it so it's fresh to me , And I've already missed out on Holy Cross today , So I'm not f-ing up the entire wheeling weekend.
