Putting in new tie rods and drag link with rod ends, finish putting touchs on trailer. I have two xjs to haul out from Tenn. Mine and the raffle xj. I bent my steering way out of whack last June when we were in Moab.

 

[Kejtar]

I jsut realized that I gotta change the diff fluid and put in the synth into the rear axle as I'm going to be towing a camper trailer........ the 80~140 is a PITA to get into the diff as it barely flows in that damn pump gismo....

what happened Tucker?

My daughter's getting married on the 11th. Between the expense and the rotten timing, I got hosed. Hoist a cold one fer me, will ya? I'll definitely be thinking of you folks while I'm sweltering in a tux.

 

[Kejtar]

man........ you should have told your daughter that her timing is off We have advertised the date for almost 2 years now

 

[Tucker]

I fought hard to change the date ... his family and some of ours have other conflicts and I lost the battle.

 

[shizza-my-nizza]

Just like Ted Z. Everything But at least I finally passed my state inspection today. Now I can get moving on preparing.

[Jes]

All I gotta do is pack and fill the tank with gas.

[Mike in NJ]

CHW and I are headed out in 43 days.

He's got some major axle/gear stuff planned - I survived our last little outing at Rausch Creek with no issues and am shifting into maintenance mode on RED for the duration. After last year's little surprise on Route 80, I ain't taking anymore chances about getting out there this year!!

change wheels to a less backspacing,install the gas tank skid,
beaf up the tie rod, and get an alignment,and put the rear
bushwhacker flares back on.
