Also have a set of TJ rear flares and a NIB rear main seal i'll be getting from a local friend of mine. I see no oil leaks in my future!

Lookin real good, dukie. I went to check out an apartment today that was perfect online; I just had to see it in person. As soon as I walked in, I liked it. Then I found the storage closet in the back, and now I need it. I had to stop myself from saying, "Space for my tires!" out loud. I'll let them meet my obsession the hard way

i broke my heater control valve trying to get the damn valve cover back on, and that can of throttle body cleaner was holding the coolant hose up so it didn't spill my antifreeze all over the parking lot

yes indeed lol
some updates yes. Replaced my drivers side u-joint this weekend, and changed out the front diff fluid while I was at it.
Painted some stuff - d30 skid and Skid row TC skid i picked up off fellow jeepers
Front Gears look great - fluid came out pretty clean
Something is missing
Skid installed - axle paint touched up
Some old guy said he wanted to help
Stripped the hood letters, repainted them black - looks WAY better IMO
Oh, i had grabbed this cupholder out of a junkyard XJ a few months ago - cleaned it up to sell and installed it just to check it out - i think i like it. Way sturdier than the other style that attaches over the ebrake. Wouldn't trust more than 20 oz drink in it, but works great for cans!

update time!
Went to a cookout beginning of the month with a crapton of Maryland XJ Jeepers. We went to a 4-wheeling spot nearby afterwards....LOTS of mud/water. Not my favorite type of wheeling because it drives my electronics crazy, but fun none-the-less.
So summary - beginning went fine, stock MJ behind me got stuck...pulled him out...
got to a river crossing - made it across fine (very deep!)
MJ stalled in the river - tried pulling him - no luck.
XJ behind him tried to go around and failed - got high centered
Tried to pull him off the ridge - got stuck myself in the sand.
MJ got restarted and drove out of the water and promptly got stuck again
I unhoooked the XJ and dug out from in front of my tires, hit the skinny pedal and blasted out of the hole i was in
pulled the MJ out again
then went back across the river.
Pics: http://s968.photobucket.com/albums/a...te%204-2-2012/
First time across - remember i said it was deep? Cowl Snorkel came in REAL handy
Yankin on the stalled MJ
Now i'm stuck...
Not that bad though...
Back across the river
And oh hey! A Video! (The sound of my horn after I exit the river is priceless!)
