Mud killed my last xj, can't say I won't play in it again, just not 1+ foot of it.

Why didn't you opt to bedline the area? Rubber mat of some sort? That kind of cargo control just begs for big messy things to be put there.

What's the difference? All the E-track I've seen is rolled/punched steel with screw holes along the edges, and way more options for locating a strap

Bedline will be soon, I'm going to line the outside from the body line down, so when I do that I'll be pulling the carpet. I'll more than likely leave it out after it's lined.

Maybe I was looking at some different e-track then.. These mount with 3 countersunk bolts each, the e-track (that I saw at least) seemed to need many screws along the outside. Either way though, post a pic if you end up using the e-track!

Ah we're talking about the same thing then:



I can definitely see how three counter-sunk bolts would be advantageous. I had always imagined I'd put a giant piece of plywood in my cargo area to take a beating and fasten stuff too.

Finally, after three days, I drove my Jeep out of the shop from swapping out axles and suspension. That was seriously annoying but I've got my sweetheart back!!!!

My alignment is HORRIBLE, the brakes on the axle I bought have dust shield issues/noise, I have some brake issues either with air, a leak, or too low of fluid, my parking brake doesn't work, I have some driveline vibes and I'm skeptical about my work.

Basically I ruined a perfectly good vehicle for no reason. Why do we do these things?

So we can learn and do better next time. Then we can help people who make the same mistakes as we have.

Added the dom to the top plate of my spring buckets... And cut a chunk of dom for future trac bar.
Can't wait to have this thing just done, with this stage.

OFA is still leaking. I guess I didn't tighten it enough. Its dripping down the Filter, down the oil pan, and the bell housing. Guess I need to get my big pipe out.

I doubt that will fix anything as you're dealing with o-rings here.

Isn't the torque on that thing like 75 ft/lbs or something stupid like that?

That's for the HO and I don't believe it. I've done a ton of them, both rEnix and Ho, and only used a 12" ratchet with a good pull.

Pulled out the NSS module, opened, cleaned, re assembled and installed after having no overdrive and a CEL this morning. Everything back to normal.
