All you've done is initiated the gravity-assisted continuously-recirculating oil change.

I've been a participant of that program for years, it's fine.

Thats part of the reason the 4.0 can hold so much damn oil

I just installed a new RMS a year or two ago. It started leaking on my way to SC a few months ago, and started leaking and smoking heavily yesterday coming back from a camping trip.

I'm not a fan of marking everywhere i park.. i'll need to fix it.

Time to start trying to generate a list again.

Nothing to add after last weekend.

I'm gonna try to accelerate this process a little bit...I signed up to run the Uwharrie 4x4cross race over Memorial Day Weekend. Should be a good time.

Hey Rob, got those rock rails installed last weekend, not too much trouble, but one of the mounts was tweaked, and my frame rail and rocker had sustained previous damage, so I had to cut and re-drill it, but good to go otherwise.

I didn't realize I had managed to bend any of the mounts - which one was the problem, out of curiosity?

Glad to hear they didn't give you too much trouble. What trail you going to christen them on?

The pass side front mount was a bit wavy, & it happens I had hit that part of the frame on the rocks before, so the mount was pointing down a little. Get some pics later.

Still looking for front recovery points? I have a Hi-Country Off-Road tow hook bracket set and a pair of their D-ring mounts that, in light of the bumper I ordered, I don't appear to need.
