When are you thinking? If I can get my DW under control, I'd be down.

Normally the only days I have free are Sundays... I'm down to ride, but Rubicon is about the hardest I would do. Don't want to break anything quite yet and have to limp home lol

I've never been to chocco so I don't know what rubicon is. I'll usually attempt anything assuming 33's and then some can handle it. Not to worried about breaking anything but limping home to huntsville would suck ***.

I'm all armored up so that looks like it could be fun. Just gotta get this DW figured out before I start wheeling again, anything over 35 mph and its about to explode.

What's your set up? Like steering and suspension.

RC 4.5 x-flex, Rustys HD tie-rod, RC adjustable trac-bar.

I've either got a cracked steering box brace, wollowed out track bar hole, or a whole slew of loose bolts.

Any idea on how most people fix the axle size track bar hole?

Drill it out to the next biggest size to make it round and then you need a bigger bushing sleeve. Or, put a tack weld near the hole and re drill it to stock size. Would be way harder and not as worth it IMO as the first option

Anybody with a 2001 XJ seen this? Just pops up, doesn't effect drivability of the vehicle. Maybe the terminals on the instrument cluster are dirty?

It's a factory default bad ground. Just bang on the cluster or search "no bus"

Just banged on the cluster, and gauges started working again.
