I'm still out here in Texas but haven't been on much. I admin for a local Jeep group and between that and a work I've not had much forum time. Not to mention with the CJ2 rebuild going on I've been spending a lot of time on the CJ2 forums.

Headed for Yankee Boy Basin Yankee Boy Basin itself Silver Basin. After saying goodbye to the group in Ouray we went and jumped on the County Road that would link us into Engineer pass. WE found this campsite by chance and a 30 second hike from the campsite would take us on top of a...

Took my dad and the XJ out to Colorado for almost a week. Ran a bunch of passes, visited a few Basins and camped a lot, all but one day, we rented a room in Ouray for a night to shower and do laundry. Northern NM near Raton. Near Cordova pass. A dead end trail at 11,400 feet we found a...

Thanks guys. Dropping order on ARP.

ZDDP is a catalytic converter poison. If you have a vehicle that burns oil it can cause your cat to die an early death. This is one reason zddp levels have steadily been taken out of modern oils. VR1 is a "race oil" and Valvoline doesn't recommend it for street use for that reason. I don't...

Going to swap my headbolts for new ones when I replace my head as I don't know what the history is on the existing ones. ARP or Fel Pro? This is not a built engine just a stock 4.0. I'm also open to other brands or even OEM.

Funny a memory just popped up on my FB timeline. Aug 1, 5 years ago I drove away from my last BAH paid for rent house with DD214 in hand. Kind of struck a nerve. Lol Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

The housing is pretty thick. Alternative method. 1lb rubber mallet and some oomph. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

No they were quadratec repros. I removed them when I downsized from the 31s to 235s. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Pretty much just been driving it and enjoying it. Little stuff here and there. Trying to get miles on it to build trust in it to take it up to Oklahoma and Arkansas for camping trips. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Whatever NOVAK sent with their master rebuild kit is what's in mine for almost 40k miles now. https://www.novak-adapt.com/catalog/transfer-case-parts/np-231-parts

Power Trax no slip in my D30, open rear 8.25. In the past I ran Lock Rights but the No Slip truly is smoother.

Drove it to work. The leak at the PS gearbox input shaft has gotten worse but not to bad. May throw some AT205 reseal in there and see what happens.

Ive used less than 2 years of mine. Its ......different. but I wasn't doing traditional college classes either i was doing basically credentialing programs for EMT-Basic and Paramedic. Luckily at least a third of each class were also prior service. Made it easier. Sent from my SM-G892A...

Because the average consumer is just going to go with the cheapest most accessible thing. MOstly the cheapest. Even NAPA at this point is about down to the quality level of all the other big box stores.

You're going to have to call around and see if you can find a place that can order them for you if you want to use your FLoPS. I know my local Carquest/Advanced Auto can get them, but I typically order them online from either Rock Auto or Amazon if I need them quick. Many times Amazon can beat...

Ammo can center console in the CJ to replace the cheaply made low buck thing that was in there before. The old one locked but was made out of particle board and vinyl so would have been easy to break into, and the previous owners were fishers I guess cause it was full of old lures and used...

Ain't that the truth. Around here you can get a decent WJ for the cost of a beat to hell XJ. The target market for the WJ would generally be people with more financial means. So they were more likely to be garage kept, kept in a stock condition and professionally maintained, now those are all...

IMO the charm of the XJ is it's lack of "Modernization". The look and feel call back to a time before electronic nannies and infotainment systems.

As long as no one has used knurled ones yet I'd just stick with the SPICER OE units. They have a very long life.
