Whats done/Whats left?

Not Much/too much

At a minimum rear main and cooling system R and R, and a small brake issue. Cal?

 

[David B.]

I have no 4th gear/OD so that is my problem:

1. Rebuild NSS and hope to hell that fixes the problem
2. Purchase new range sensor if #1 does not fix problem ($350 )
3. Find trailer to tow jeep down if that doesn't work
4. New front speakers so I can rock out to GNFNR on the trail.
5. Gruelling 4-hour drive to get there.

FIXED!

Well, I want to go. BUT, I have no idea what to expect. I will be pulling a 13 foot trailer with my XJ and expect to camp anywhere I can. Is there anything special I should know before departing. I don't plan to do anything severe with the rig on this trip. Mostly just to get the hell out of Dodge and relax.

A couple things that would have helped me my first trip would have been to buy a good map of Moab for when I wanted to explore the town on my own, and to have asked ahead about campgrounds in the area and if possible. Slickrock is our official headquarters, but I hated the one night I stayed there. Too much street noise and absolutely no room between neighbors.

 

[jimliston]

Well, since I posted last, I have renewed my membership and reserved a space at Slickrock. This sounds like fun.

 

[RangerRick]

Now, harmonic balancer, water pump, thermostat, cruise control. I thought I was ready last week but oh well.

Got the rear main done and part of the brake situation finished. Next is to find out if the coolant res. is cracked. I keep seeing coolant dripping off the passenger side bumpstop.

Finished the a/c, cooling sytem, and got the turn signals working again.

Still need:
Axle Overhaul (sunday)
