Hey fort Riley jeepers is heading out to Tuttle on Monday should b there by 145/2 oclock

 

It seems that my 89 Cherokee flex plate has been cracked, I called couple of mechanics to get an estimate, and its pretty much 500-600 to replace including parts, and labor. From my understanding you have to pretty much drop the transmission completely to remove the flexplate? I did verify that the flexplate was cracked by going under there, and inspecting it myself.

 

Yea the flex plate is attached to the engine. Tranny will have to come out. I got a spare plate in my garage if your local.

 

You don't necessarily have to pull the tranny all the way out. If you unbolt the tranny from the engine you should be able to slide it back a few inches, enough to get some clearance.

 

I am in shawnee so its a 2 hour drive.

Really? I wonder if that ends up being more of a hassle then just pulling the tranny all the way.

 

Anyone in SEK looking for a 4X4 partner this weekend.. My XJ isnt much but does fine around here.. I just hate to wheel alone...

 

Whats up kansas people...winters almost over (hopefully). Time to get wrenching and hopefully wheeling soon. Who else in kansas is out of hibernation?

 

I'm new to wheeling and have been working constantly for the last 3 months on my 92 XJ. It's on an aging 3" lift with new 31" Duratracs, etc. I've been to Tuttle and KS Rocks once each but would really like someone experienced to show me around to the areas I'm capable of passing. Is there anything closer to the Wichita area worth hitting up? Looking for new Jeep buddies here. My brother has a similarly setup XJ, so we really wanna get out and run these rigs!

 

Wichita area! I have a 99 Comanche just itching to see some trails!!!

 

S.E. Ks area .. Just finishing up my 3" lift this weekend and looking to give it a test run.. Ks rocks is only about 20 min from here.. Anyone else local?

 

where is Kansas rocks?? I'm in the Wichita area! Itching for some wheeling

 

KS rocks is a little over 2 hours 40 min from you due east you can find directions on Google maps..

 

Yeah I signed up for the Frostbite even in February!

 

Anyone from Southwest Kansas?
