Concerned about how built your rig is?

[wheelin99s]

It's like you were watching me or something

I've definitely put the sliders through their paces. Haven't really beat on the front and rear skids though, always manage to miss those.

Oddly enough, I don't have a t-case skid. I should probably change that

awww yes t-case skid, i was gonna build one last weekend but it slipped my mind. ill do one this weekend for sure because i dont have a spare t-case and im the xj driving to the event from wisconsin haha gotta make it back

Transmissions have been swapped in the campground so a tcase would be a breeze!

Yup. There will be too many people to help usually.

....and if there's time, we may take a sawzall or cut-off wheel to Glenn's Jeep. Open it up a bit...he still has a little roof left....

Be gone foul spirit...... That is going to happen when the other build is done.

Transmissions, clutches, slave cylinders, driveshafts, engine mounts, radiators....there's not a lot we haven't done in the campground over the years.

Yep! I had a Ring and pinion fix in Tellico one year. Last year of Tellico we did a valve cover gasket and the typical hub repair all the first night.

I even recall one of the Empire guys putting the winch he won at the raffle on his Jeep by flashlight one night...

Sometimes we even find old parts on the trail and reuse them ,
( jasons mj drive slug at the top or railbed for example)

That was epic. :thumbup:

I still have the slug and the broken stub that was in it. The slug actually stayed on the MJ until a couple months ago.

We ALL should have bought lottery tickets that night.

All those pictures... I gotta come out next year if the dates doesn't conflict with the NACfest

as a last minute decision late last night i made a transfer case skid plate out of scraps i had left over from my bumper and rock sliders. its nothing fancy and its not pretty but its strong and only took an hour. I can take it out and grind the welds down and paint it nice when i get back from crawl.

Im on 31's, 2X4 rockers, transfer case skid and possibly locked rear end. Mainly fearing for my gas tank on this trip.

You will be fine. I haven't hit mine yet and I have been to Harlan on 31s, 32s and 33s.

That said I'll probably smash it in this trip.

of course you will, "Karma don't lie"

I mashed mine pretty bad one year. Mark and I had to swap pumps on the way home. Fun times!

Did you get your other rocker welded in? I bought these from IRO for this trip:



They are installed with the provided bolts, but I think I may weld em to the frame at least.





I think I am going to risk no gas tank skid also. Shoot whats the worst can happen.
