as in road salt? Cause they don’t use that in Alaska lol. They use gravel and a brine. Can’t have the salt running off into our spawning streams.

just dirt off the road from the gravel. This is more or less how every vehicle in Alaska looks all winter lol. But yea salt is hard on the xjs already vulnerable metal lol, and really any vehicle in general.

Built a rear bumper for the Jeep today. Perfect length for when i decide to finish cutting up the rear fenders to where I want them. Pretty happy with how it turned out

finally got the Jeep out for some good wheeling. Didn’t make it too far in cause my buddy bent a tie rod. Bent it back with the jeeps winch and headed back. Other than realizing I need bigger tires ASAP I’m pleasently pleased with the Jeep.

Finally decided to track down my noise. Just a stretched chain slapping around... all fixed and waiting on seals to show up tomorrow

oh I know lol! I’ve build a few 231s out of jeeps. There was a very noticeable difference in slack between the new chain and old chain even before putting on the case half. Just waiting on a new output seal to show up since my local store didn’t have anything close to what would work with my case

No real wheeling today, just a fun outing to the lake. Should hopefully get it out this weekend

I’ve done it both ways. I prefer doing it out of the Jeep, but I didn’t wanna take all the extra time to pull it. Plus it’s tall enough that I can sit under it lol. Glad to see you’re back tho

Well the Jeep lived up to the plates I ordered for it... lol should have it fixed for later this week

Apart from a slight rear diff leak, thanks to 35s on one tons and dragging diffs on everything.. anyways was about time to pull the covers to change fluids and recheck torque and pattern. Should be ready for some camping fun again later this week! Will have some pics and if I remember my GoPro I’ll upload some videos as well

Just a few pics from a spur of the moment solo trip. They don’t call it the land of the midnight sun for nothing!
