I am finally going to get to do some wheeling in Moab next weekend. My parents will be in town from baltimore and they want to see some arches so I will be taking them to Moab. Unfortunately my mother has a bad back and my stepfather had his knee replaced a few months back so I have to stick to some easy trails. I let them read up on which ones they want to go on so it looks like I will be going on Tower arches / eye of whale. And fins and things.

Nice should be fun, just being down there is fun no matter the trail

Being a Gear head yes it will, But Wheeling in Moab has been something I've been wanting to do since I started Wheeling 10 years ago back on the East coast. It's been 2 years since I've been to Moab and the only time I was there was 6 Months after I sold my YJ so all I had was a Uhaul truck with my Miata (track toy at that time ) on the trailer and my wife following in the Mustang Gt we sold 6 months after being here .

I dont have that issue but some roads have one hell of a crown that will make the XJ pull a little I also do not run swaybars . You may want to check your Steering components for play

How do you get the transfer case bolt off to check the fluid level? And the trans bolt also?
