Any of you experts know if it's a bad idea to re-use gears that have an unusual wear pattern in them. I know at a minimum they'll be noisy, but if there's no broken teeth or signs of overheating could they still be weakened in some way? The other week I found out that bad stuff has happened in...

Just wondering if anyone knew of a local shop near Colorado Springs that does diesel injection service. I have some Cummins injectors I'd like to have cleaned and pop-tested. Thanks.

Unfortunately I could only pull off joining for the weekend, but I had a good time at the dinner/raffle and running Chinaman's Saturday. For not really having any time to do anything but check fluids and fill it with gas, my Jeep performed great on the trail, and aside from the one rig with the...

Just thought I'd post a few links to my photo albums from this trip. Sorry for the delay! Ran Poughkeepsie Gulch Thursday. The Alpine Loop (Engineer Pass/Cinnamon Pass) Friday. Yankee Boy Basin and Hiked Mt. Sneffels Saturday. Imogene Pass Saturday. Drove back home Sunday Via Stony Pass...

I just finished uploading some of the better photos that I had for the weekend. I didn't get any of Grizzly Lake on Friday because I forgot my camera at camp! Click on the trail name for the full album. Wheeler Lake Holy Cross Chinaman's

I'll have to post pics later when I have time, but just got dropped off at home. No trouble getting a tow from AAA. :sad1: Thanks for everyone who helped or just waited for me to ratchet strap the axle in place and slowly get down Chinaman's.

I finally got my photos up. :badpc: Steel Bender Metal Masher Poison Spider Mesa Cliffhanger Hell's Revenge Thanks Israel for using my camera to take some great pictures of me on Hell's Gate! If anyone's got good photos of my Jeep I'd love to get full sized copies!

I'm looking for an inexpensive set of tires around the sizes 235/75R15, 30x9.5x15, or 225/75R15. I'd like them to be a matched set of four with even tread wear and something that will last has in the neighborhood of 10k miles+ of life left. I'd prefer a nice AT, but a basic all-season will...

All of them are here: http://s229.photobucket.com/albums/ee147/bjr7178/07-23%2026-09%20Colorado%20Fest/ These are from Thursday: Chinaman's Friday: Iron Chest Saturday: Mount Antero Ran out of card space since I forgot the cable to download, or I'd have more!

When I finished unpacking my Jeep I ended up with something I don't remember starting with. As best I can tell, it looks like one of those single-legged stands to stabilize a camera (I think they're referred to as a mono-pod?). It's telescopic, and about 18" long when collapsed. In a greenish...

My transmission has recently been acting up, and I've been trying to troubleshoot it. It would not shift into overdrive at all, and the later it wouldn't shift all the way down to first gear when trying to get going from a stop. I've checked everything I can think of short of the replacing the...

I thought I'd post up some links to my photos in case anyone wanted to see, although it's clear from what other people have posted so far that I'm NOT a photographer. :) 10/5/08 - Metal Masher 10/6/08 - Hell's Revenge 10/7/08 - Seven Mile Rim 10/8/08 - Steel Bender 10/9/08 - Poison Spider...

Does anyone knows of a shop in the Springs that will leak test and can fix pinhole leaks in radiators? I've got a good quality, pretty much brand new one, that got clipped by the mechanical fan and it'd be nice to only pay a few bucks for a repair than buy a new one! Thanks.

My brother is driving out with his rig this weekend hoping to hit a few trails, and I haven't been here long enough to get a good feel for the trails around Buena Vista, let alone what would be open this time of year, so I'm looking for a few ideas. We're going to have 3 rigs with 33s/34s, each...

I'm looking into buying a welder, and I'd like to know of good shops in the area that I could price out machines, consumables, and tanks/gas. I'm undecided about about what I need, so I'm looking for advice. It's going to be a 220V MIG because I'm tired of chipping slag from the arc I used to...

This past weekend I was out wheeling, and when I went to hit the road after the trip I found my steering had stopped returning to center. It might be slightly stiffer to turn, but I'm not positive. I'm trying to find out what could happen during an offroad trip that would affect it (IE: This...

Just thought I’d put up a short post mostly just as an introduction. Hopefully this won't bore anyone here, as I'm gonna need to make some new wheeling buddies... My girlfriend(who also wheels an XJ) and I are both graduating college and have accepted jobs in the Colorado Springs area, so...

Over about the past 6 months it seems like my Cherokee has been getting more difficult to steer. Almost always it is off-road, but every once in a while if conditions are right I can feel it on-road. (generally when the weight is shifted to the front wheels, on soft ground, and not rolling)...

I picked up some tube inserts quite a while back with the intention of building longarms. I'm finally getting around to doing it and found out the tube inserts I bought are made from chromoly. I don't have any experience with chromoly other than what I've read online, so this raises a few...
