I bought the Yakima Landing Pads and Control Tower mounts that attach to the stock tracks. It puts the basket higher than I would like, but I couldn't find anything else that looked like it would work as well. I didn't know about those Smittybilt brackets though, and I did a lot of looking. I'm tempted to try them but they are kind of pricey for an experiment.

I got the Yakima gutter mounts along with the basket (used), but they stick out too far, especially with the crossbars having to hang over. I found used Landing Pads and Control Towers on ebay for pretty cheap and other than the height I am pretty happy with them so far. Everything is nice and taught.

I like the JCR gutter mounts but the Load Warrior is too narrow to use them.

 

It wont show it. Asked it a few times now

 

They are bald. Rears are at 50% but Hell I paid $50 just for mock up tires.

 

Been looking for hatch tents. All I can find is one from Napier outdoors. Not a very good tent though. Can we get some pics and info?

 

There's always something to see in Nashville. A lot of music history there (Ryman Auditorium etc.) Then there's the Lane Motor Museum. Nashville is also something of a mecca for the recent resurgence in vinyl records. Lots of bands cutting new vinyl. If interested in that be sure to visit Third Man Records and Grimey's music store while in town.

 

Everyone's moving to Nashville, too.

 

Fixed the under hood light. Going to wire in a switch and some LEDs eventually.

Also found the power plug for the power seat swap. Just need to find a way to adapt it to the ZJ power seat plug and find it in the PDC.

I've read that Tennessee is on the short list of good places to retire.

 

The dreaded and feared tranny fluid change.









I then proceeded to take my jeep to meineke due to a check engine light that came on immediate after i was done, a lurching and jumping and stalling that was happening when i would put it into drive.

Turns out i knocked loose the CPS plug during my tranny endeavors :/

 

Well... Kinda. If your retirement income is from investments, we tax that. It's the only income tax we have.

 

reattached my starter, check fluids, spent time chasing down a "knock" when I turn my wheels. I feel it in the control arm and tried to tighten it, but that didn't help. I'll look more, tomorrow

 

Check your ball joints and u joints?

 

Ah... must be why it made no sense.

Anyway.... Someone say Yakima?





lol... I know all THAT. Just didn't know what YOU were specifically going there for. If anything. I've been to Nashville and Gatlinburg numerous times.

 

drove it.

got a 4day weekend coming up so im hoping to get many much things done

 

Finally got my lower ball joints out. Also updated the build thread. Nudge nudge wink wink know what I mean?
