Well one thing that I've been working on for Search & Rescue (besides my jeep) was a video for the missing. Some of these cases I have strong feelings about because our unit spent a lot of time on. All photos of SAR operations in this video are actual media shots of our unit from those missions. Just thought I would share it with you. Here it is.

Very nicely done. It's quite an emotional video.

Our neighbor town is still experiencing the same thing with 2 missing young girls.

Hi flowpro,
Im sorry to hear that. It is sad that people/kids just keep vanishing. But thats why I made the video, to raise awareness. I hope that all is good with you and yours.

Well I had to take out my rear locker.
About 3 years ago I bought Lock-rite lockers, front D-30 Rear C-8.25. About a month ago on a SAR training it started making a loud bang . I got it home and took it apart. One of the spring retainer pins were sheared off and the sidewall where the pin goes in is broke out. I dint know what is normal ware but I have about 12 thousand miles on them. It has worked awesome up to this point. I dont know if I can just replace the gears and spring kit? Or should I replace the whole thing? I did write to Richmond Gear, but no reply So I put my old OE gears back in.Winter is coming and I would love to have this fixed before it turns bad. Any suggestions are welcome.

Man, thats a downer. Regardless, your jeep was what inspired me to get a cherokee 3 years ago. Now a cherokee later, 4 different suspension setups between the 2, thousands of dollars later im still following your build. Keep it up!

Awesome build, I have been wanting to get back into SAR but i'd have to retake almost all the classes except my CPR/AED, BLS/ABLS, and a few others.
