Thanks for the replies. I ended up ordering a THOR cowl intake to clear the area the stock airbox takes up. Then I modified the PSC reservoir mount to go between the radiator and computer. That put it about the same height as the stock reservoir, if not a little higher. I'll post a picture when...

Nice. My little family moved out of CA about 2-1/2 years ago. We're up in the Salt Lake Valley.

I finally got tired of my whiney WJ power steering pump that could barely turn my wheels at low RPMs, and invested in a PSC system. Northridge had a coupon. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with the reservoir not letting the hood close. (2000 XJ) After a bit of research it looks like other...

Now I have the track bar and the OTK steering kit, along with a few smaller things. Very very happy. I recommend IRO stuff to everyone I know.

I've been to Kenya where I've seen professional mechanics working on the dirt street. They may have a small building for tools nearby if they are doing well. Often they just buy electricity from another business and run extension cords if they are lucky to have power tools. Welding out on the...

Finished! RICHARD GAUTHIER 4643 06:42:37 Results are still unofficial, but looks like top 3 in class at least. Sorry I couldn't make it out this year. Got a new baby. UPDATE: Looks like 3rd 4500 Mod JOHN CURRIE 88 04:24:28 4800 Leg BRAD LOVELL 232 04:37:10 4800 Leg MATTHEW MESSER 4860...

Glad you're ok! My first thought was, "Meh, pound it out with a BFH and run it." Your way is probably better, though. :spin1:

Looks great. Glad to see you trying again. See you out on the lake!

Check out this thread on Pirate4x4. It gives a fill location. Otherwise, there is supposed to be a service available on the lakebed offering water fill-up and wastewater dumping. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1038921

I plan on heading down Monday the 6th, but I have to leave the evening of Friday the 10th for another commitment. I won't have my XJ, because I would rather be comfy in my 5th-wheel. Can't tow them both. My tow rig is 4wd, but I probably won't run any trails with it. A bike might come with...

Hey, do you have a pit stall number? Or do the stock guys not get one? At any rate, I'll be out there looking for ya. Unfortunately, I won't have my XJ with me - I'm opting for the comfy 5th-wheel instead. Maybe I can get a ride with somebody out there. Looks awesome. Can't wait to see it...

I'm going to be using an epoxy to fix the leak, but for this particular kind of plastic (HDPE, LDPE, EVOH according to the stamps on the tank) the epoxy requires heating the plastic in order to get a strong liquid-tight bond. I tried it once without heating, figuring they didn't know what they...

/hijack/ I don't know why I can't find much info about this. My plastic tank has a leak, so I am trying to remove it and patch it. Nobody seems to have replacements, and polyethelyne has to be heated to patch properly. I'm not going to do that without thoroughly emptying the tank. Plus, I...

No, the front gears are new from Yukon, as are the bearings and differential. It's not a whine, really. It's a pulsing noise that changes with speed and seems to be louder when decelerating. Like I said, I need to open it up and take a look. Since most of the axle has been rebuilt, I either...

Well, I ended up getting the Nitro shafts from Just Differentials here on NAXJA, along with US Alloy joints and those fancy dust covers. But, something else is wrong. My axle is still very noisy. I just might give selarep a call, since it would be cheaper than replacing the gears again if...

I could use that RE superflex joint tool, but don't really have anything to trade that I can think of. I also need one of those little clips (bolt, too, would be nice) that holds the front coil spring onto the axle. What I do have is a stock front skid plate that I'll probably never use. If I...

For a short hike, I would recommend Mirror Lake: The drive up to Glacier Point is absolutely worth the time. If you are up for a strenuous hike, the trail up to Nevada Fall is beautiful. Then, of course, there is the climb up Half-Dome, if it's open (usually late May). I don't think you...

Here in CA, we're really big on fire and noise issues. The reasons for spark arrestors are pretty obvious, as we experience huge wildfires every year. As far as noise, most of our trails are in federal or state-owned land. Not everybody wants to hear loud engines echoing throughout a forest...

They are interesting. I kinda wish I had installed those before the exact scenario in the description happened to me. My new alloy shafts with circle-clip u-joint retainers should be at my house tomorrow. I have been impressed with IRO's stuff and have a few of their parts on my rig, so I'm...

I've done some checking around. They're not so easy to find around here.
