That sounds like a fun trip! Lets see who else bites on this one... Mike,jeff, affireguy, ryan, steph are you guys interested?

 

I might shoot out there for the day but I doubt kristie will wanna do an over night thing being prego & all!

 

i might be, im just excited as hell to go talk to that guy to get are bumpers built !!!

 

@Steve, sorry I would love too, but I cannot Saturday..... I am free Sunday all day though

I don;t know if I am ready to do a trail yet (maybe depending on the date), but if you guys come up this way, You will have to let me know.... I'll have cool beers for you

 

ok i will have to give you a call sometime on sunday then.

 

Mmmmmmm.......Beer.

 

See Steve it doesn;t take much to convince them to come up in Cache Valley lol....

 

I'm dying to do some Cache valley wheeling I just got a lot on my plate right now with getting the boy registered for school this month and the XJ registered next month.

 

oh come one it will just be gas money maybe two tanks.

 

Single Dad = super tight budget sometimes. I'll have to see how it goes.

 

I understand your position Jeff.... I have to think about back to school too (stupid school fees...)

 

i know i was just giving you some ****! money sucks!!! it seems like every time you guys run a trail i cannot go or i don't have the gas money. so i know how you feel.

 

Well got the tranny dropped pulled a couple parts off of it and shook some pieces out of it something is chewed up but can't get the front where the input shaft is off any ideas on how?

 

What a long week end hahaha.....

Decided my ride was too stiff so I changed the leaf spring pack again: mixed and matched with the original ones and definitely got ride of the heavy duty overload fro the bastard pack I had.... feel a little bit smoother.
Any place you guys recommend to get cheap spring clamps ? The only ones I see are at AZ and about $20 per side...

Flushed oil and changed filter. Decided to go for a Wix and Rotella 15W40 for now. Boy this is a noisy engine I have there.... lots of ticking. Soon in order definitely a compression check and hopefully in the winter pulling the valve cover out and the oil pan and check for the internal engine bearings/lifters etc...

Tested the O2sensor and it looks like it is shot. Got the build sheet from Chrysler and they reminded me that apparently the service recall for the O2 sensor has not been done yet. If I am lucky I will get it done for free (fingers crossed there)

Still discovering how my engine is functionning..... got an online manual for Renix engine (thanks boss for paying paper and ink from the printer lol), it is very good and precise I discovered a lot of tricks .....

Now I have a major leak () apparently it is ATF. So coming from the transfer case (since I have a manual). I suspect a seal. It is dripping out the front of the TC along the front shaft and collecting on the skid plate.... Is that a fix that can be done without removing the TC you think ?
I think the other leaks are minor haha but will have to address them sooner or later...

Oh and while doing this I was making a dutch oven pulled pork that won second place to a small local pork cook off competition lol


So and what about your week end ?

 

what you don't tell me to come and eat! where was this at? i love some barbecue....
