for me, I just have to make sure I only make those mistakes when you are around to get me out hahaha.

 

hahaha , im picking up a trailor soon i really need to get one , o and i fixed my winch , i took all the gears and **** apart cleaned and regreased everything and its all good now, i gotta get a new cable soon , im looking into the synthetic line

 

nice. I hope to be picking up an axle maybe thursday from shorty's. It is low pinion but has universals instead of CVs so I'll take it.

I was just told on mallcrawlin that the xj driveshaft should work so I can get that from my buddy.

 

I'm still pissy about it tho. After all these years of keeping her dry. So I'm going at the repairs the "smart" way. Rubber padding under carpet; raised breathers and whatever else I need to do to make it water resistant under the hood; Airflow snorkel or some other type that is efficient and looks good; avoiding the nasty stuff. If it wasn't for my job I could go to PA all the time and just skip Jersey wheeling altogether.

Gotta spend money on this just as I was looking to get some 4" springs ...

I hate mud

 

Wharton is fun..... just not for people and daily drivers. Believe me I've been there, swamping my rig one night and driving it to work the next. The best is when you have to dress nice to go to work, and ruin a good work shirt getting out of your muddy a$$ rig haha. Wharton can be much more fun with a XJ that you don't mind getting wet and muddy.

 

wharton has been pretty fun every time i have gone out there. I just drive really cautiously when going into water.

 

But there's also a ton of exploreing you can do and barely even touch water all day long or just very shallow , you just gotta know your way around I guess , when I swamped mine I knew how deep it was and made it thru it before but it got kinda rutted but I knew what I was in for and I was on a serious trail that not many normal people venture down , most every hole back there has a go around except for 1/4 mile and the swamp loop

 

Devilstoy, you going to NAC Fest?

 

whats nac fest?

 

I really want to but it's my neices (god daughter) first birthday so I gotta see what's going on , you going out at all this weekend ? Al my friends went to Mississippi for oil clean up so got no one to wheel with

 

It's a Cherokee event at rausch creek

 

who wants to put in a front rear with me this weekend lol. I hope they call back today so I can pick it up. Suppose to rain tomorrow.

 

Can't go anywhere. The interior is gutted - still working on repairs after flooding. I'ma need a little bit of rust cut out & some welding done.

 

I'll be towing out to NAC Fest

 

old rear is out and new one is ready to go in tomorrow. have to wait for the drive shaft though. ordered one on ebay for 74 shipped that came out of a 93-95 (i forget the year) 5.2 grand. so it "should" work.
