I would think going back to the pre-97 steel tank, 91-93 sender adapted to the the 96 harness, with a Walboro 255 pump would be the best route. It will work with your 96 cluster, the 91-93 senders are readily available, and the 255 will feed a healthy LS. The biggest part of the swap will be...

You are all making me look bad, mine is 5,700 road weight. No tools, no parts, no cooler, no people, empty RotoPax fuel cans and 1/2 fuel tank. I'm probably close to 6,500 trail/road trip weight and full fuel tank/cans(9gal).

There is no 2024 date, I really wish there was. I am currently planning on another trip in August-September 2025 to the Rubicon and maybe Dusy Ershim also.

Sounds fun, but this was October of 2023 I was inquiring about and went to Moab for NAXJA 40th instead.

40th in Moab

It's my first time to Moab and looking to meet up with folks who know the area. We are staying at the Moab KOA.

Yeah, the Novak motor mount bushings around the carriage bolts didn't last two thousand miles for me. I looked in to using high duramometer urethane barstock to replace the rubber, but I dont think the keyhole shape in the frame side of the mounts will let any type of isolator last very long...

The only reason I questioned an access road in the middle of the trail is that I have seen alot of mention of two parts to the trail, but people must be describing half way is a good place to camp overnite. If there is any chance of snow, I wont even attemt a run. We were originally planning on...

I will be there with my wife and 11yo son.

Hello all, Im am looking for some thoughts/input from the Sierra folks that have run the Rubicon on the feasibility of a day trip in early October. I will be attanding the 40th in Moab and dont want to drive from Pennsylvania without trying to get as much out of the trip as possible. We have a...

This looks alot farther along that i thought! There is a whole lot more than a survey on that website, It looks like the trail map sytstem with ratings is already complete. Thanks for posting this.

It may only be a bandaid over other heat related problems, but the JKS upper shock conversions will get the bushings out of the engine compartment. There are better weld in versions, but quick bolt in would give you quick answers. I had to do them with my Cummins 4BT Comanche when I had the...

Thanks for the redirect.

Is there any plans for a Crawl this year? I have a group of 5 rigs headed to Black Mountain July 1st thru the 3rd and was hoping to see some other XJ's out there too.
