Went to the badlands in Attica, IN today. Rode the red trails with my 235's and stock height cherokee. I thought the line I was in was for easy peasy. Called on the radio that easy had gotten much harder over the last year. Club members got a good laugh at my expence that someone lied to me about the difficulty of the trail we were on. If it hadn't been for the locker In the rear I would not have gotten through. Great time though. Locker is amazing. Installed two weeks ago and this was my first wheelin trip with it. Love it.

Made a 5 hour round trip to buy XJwonder's 8.25. Definitely worth the trip. Got 22 miles per gallon too, so that was exciting.

And I also removed all the bumper end caps and fender well linings in preparation for a rear quarter panel cut and fold this week.

Think my radiator split, but I can't see where, only that its on the drivers side. The area around the cap was dry, the upper hose clamp was fine and dry, and the overflow was empty so I think this was something that was on its way. Guess I'll be replacing that tomorrow along with my axle u joints.

Well... been sick for a few days so this is the first chance I had to post it... nothing major but I'm gonna be swapping out the TJ Canyons for my steel D-Windows. Need the backspacing and I like the look of the steely's better anyway.

So in preparation, I started peeling the black plasti-dip off the Canyons. Figured it would probably be easier to sell them without the plasti-dip on them. It was scratched a peeling in certain places anyway...
