It's been a while since I have posted. I've been off roading three places in this jeep and love it. Here are some pics from the latest trip.

Here is a quick update. I haven't gotten anything on the to do list done but that's for good reason. The jeeps now have a new home!

Well apparently hitting the skinny pedal as your hood goes full force unto water is a bad idea. I got the jeep running after being dragged back to base by a rescue xj. It took more than a few very talented folks to get the water out of my motor. Then on the way home 40 miles from the trail I think the transmission over heated started spraying fluid and shifting in and out of over drive. Its now sitting in the back yard and I have a lot of work ahead of me. On having my mechanic change every fluid and then bring it back so I can fox whatever is broken. Fun times ahead.

So long story short the Jeep is back running. The transmission just overheated due to a bad TPS which I changed myself. I also had a tune up done, and had all the fluids changed out. That got the Jeep running good again.

I just got back from an off road weekend at Land Between the Lakes! It was a blast, and the only issue I got from that trip was my steering wheel turned 30 degrees. Whats off is the jeep still drives straight, but the wheel is now crooked.

Today I was able to get two off road lights on although not wired yet, and finally trimmed the fenders to where the bumper is. It was my first time using a cutting wheel, and wow do they put off a lot of sparks!

Here is my Jeep on a dealership test track.

2207.2 was my rti ramp score. Is that good or bad?

Love your xj! Great idea painting your sound bar with rhino liner it looks sweet. Also props for representing the xj in that group of jeeps.

Thanks I'm going to need to add another sound bar over the front seats I just did the spotless mod on the drivers door and soon will do the passenger door as well.

Here is a shot from today's trip to mud madness in Lockport ky. One really clean door looks funny.

I also got two off road lights wired up. The jeep is cleaned up and put away. Until next time.

Well if the government is able to open in the next 2 weeks I will be able to take my Jeep back to Turkey Bay for the third time. Also another quick update I was able to find where my loss of power was from. It turns out my exhaust was pinched shut. The old exhaust has now been replaced with a glass pack, and new muffler. Power! Oh and if I forgot to mention it the Jeep now has a doorless mod on the drivers door, and the switch panel installed in the console. Now to clean the mud off the ceiling. Here is an updated picture.
