Got the tie rod so I completed my Barnes aluminum 1 ton steering setup. And installed fender liners, now I need to order flat fenders. Oh and I rebuilt my sway bar and repainted It, and just added the Evo no limits manual knob today. The electric motor was burned out and there’s no way I was paying $$$ for another one of those. I need to sell some more stuff out of the garage and buy some more jeep parts!

I've got an inch a half guard rail nut on a length of 550 cord. It's not whiz-bang tactical, but one smack in the grape and it's coloring books for Christmas.

Attached File Mods since then - 2.5 inch lift (springs and shocks) from Superlift, JKS Sway Bar Disconnects, Pro Comp LED Head Lights, 285/70R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT tires, steel bumpers from Extreme Terrain. Metal fenders and fender liners. Badlands 9k Winch. Posing on a trail: Attached File Last Saturday, I led a trail ride with 19 vehicles. Had some newbies along so did easy to medium trails. Attached File The week before we hit this trail. Lots of water: 45sec vid: Mark Twain Mafia - Weekday Trail Ride - Creek Crossing Another short vid: Mark Twain Mafia Weekday Trail Ride. Note if the vid is vertical oriented it means I posted it on tiktok. Tuesday, another friend and I checked out that same trail. It's been raining non-stop here all week. The creek crossing was deeper. I didn't want to get stuck back there by a flash flood so turned back before finishing the trail.

I see several gentlemen in here are very knowledgeable with the mechanics of the jeeps. I am a newb but learning quick. We were hitting the trails, I was in 4Hi and feathering the clutch.... it was smoking and smelled bad. I learned from a cpl guys there that I should be in 4Lo and definitely don't feather the clutch, either in or out. They also told me it sounded like my clutch was slipping a little. Let it cool off then Finished the rest of the day using their advice and did well. Reverse is now hard to get into... and a cpl of the gears grind slightly getting into them.
I have a question- Is there fluid that I toasted and should change to see if it fixes any clutch issues, before I take it to the stealership and have them diagnose it? Any other recommendations or suggestions after coming off some pretty serious trails ( for here in MI..) lol I did have my front E-locker stick while locked, that was a fun trip back home.... I got it home, took off the front diff cover, drained old nasty fluid, cleaned up everything with some brake cleaner. Got the E-locker unstuck. Turned it on and off a cpl times with the diff cover off, everything working as should. Sealed up and reinstalled the cover, refilled with Lucas hi-performance 80-90 gear oil and all is good with the locker and diffs. As bad as that front fluid was, I'll definitely be doing the rears today. |

Between that and the slipping, probably time for a clutch job.. |
