Red Bird Trail Clean up Nov. 14

After taking the newish hill bypass and scraping both my taillights, I may have a set of 1/4 panel guards in the future. The roof sliders performed as expected, didn't use them as much as I thought, but there were fresh scrapes in the paint and mud.

You went through before we took out that extra tree. I don't think anybody else had a problem after that. JIM.

Any pics of them in use?
 
I don't think so. JIM was in Rev's XJ right behind me and I didn't see any in his album.

On a side note, it rained last night, halfway washing off the Jeep. Now my driveway smells like Redbird mud.
 
I'm glad that I had the chance to meet some of you (at wampler) friday night. Hopefully next spring my jeep will be capable enough to come along to help. Btw Rev I think cleaning and redoing my ground fixed the problem of the jeep just dying and not starting for awhile, thanks a million!

Glad you guys came out, hope you can make it to the next one, but if nothing else you should make it up to Winterfest 2010 (http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=998196).

Oh, PM me your street address and I will get those bolts sent out to you. Hope the lift serves you well! :cheers:
 
Found the mystery clunk, and figured out why my passenger side tire wasn't pulling:

Who cares what kind of differential you have, you can't get power to the ground without a u-joint.

Had to have done it in the mud hole, can't believe I drove on it as long as I did without doing more damage.

Wow! I am very surprised it didn't take anything else with it... looks like the inner shaft is fine, which is amazing...
 
I'm running Warn hub fuses, that are supposed to let go before the U-joint does... guess they didn't work this time.

I'm thinking it went a mile or so after the mud hole before I loaded it up on the trailer.

Going to watch the vids to see when it actually broke.
 
Wow, I'm surprised you were able to drive it out of there!

Since that mud hole I've replaced a u-joint in the front DS, and the centering ball in the rear DS (real shame, it was only two months old). Still getting vibes from another u-joint in the rear, but not bad enough to worry about. I just can't keep enough grease in those things.
 
My XJ hasn't moved since I backed it off the trailer and parked it in the driveway. Need to check the bellhousing bolts and the torque converter bolts though, it's making a thumping sound at idle.
 
This week I will attempt to get mine clean, pressure washer in the driveway. My neighbors are gonna love me.

F 'em if they can't take a joke! :roll:
