I'm usually not one to turn away new wheeling partners and trips. Are you a student? I am planning on not a whole lot more than working, wheeling, shooting, and riding around town on a bike most of the time for MPG, but the Jeep'll come out for bad weather and wheeling trips. I haven't done Kelly Flats yet but I want to go, 7 mile is easy but at least a fun trail and easy to get out into the woods. I really wanna go back and do Bald Mtn. cause I had a real fun time last season there (if that's even the name of the trail). I'm still kinda new to Fort Collins so I'm not 100% familiar with what all is up here.

lol but hey a jeeps a jeep, its just the XJ's that rule

Oh and the swamp creek cutoff is basically sevenmile. But that area has some fun wheeling and the best camping spots I've ever been.

Just got back from trading my truck for a XJ. No pics right now, its a 96 on 3in cheap procrap lift on 33's. Body is alright but unibody is straight and underneath is clean, all oil leaks were fixed. Just need to fix the idle and new exhaust manifold gasket. Need to get my wheeling fix now. Any of you Foco guys wanna go this weekend?

Dont waist ur time pulling shafts!! just look at the bearing retainers.
Here is a good pic for ya.

Big bearings have flatter top and bottom......Small have one round and one flat.
BTW, I have buddies with 1000+ HP drag cars running Ford 9's. If its strong enough for them launching, its stong enough for my crawling....
