Looks like that rear locker is working well out there.
Yea works good in 2wd in the washes I love it!
That pic was on the trail that I made off the side of "articulation hill" when I had only my front locker, Scott technically made it but he went down it. I took the big boy route and went up.
this is start of it
top of it/another angle on the first pic in quote
shit load of loose boulders but its fun if you don't mind the occasional jumping rock...:gee:
Looks like lots of people have been doing it since I was last there cause its not as technical/looks like a trail from all the traffic.
and the morning sun going up it was a bitch too!

Well, the family and I went up to Crab Flats for a little camping and fire road wheeling. It was a last minute trip, sitting home board at 5pm on Thursday, sweating, and thought let's get out of here. So sorry for the lack of an invite. We had a good time and I was amazed at how maintained the fire roads are up in san bernard mountains, they might as well be paved. Nice to be in the mountains, none the less. I don't know if anyone saw us cruising around but if you saw a white xj with fire coming from the engine that was me! :banghead: I am getting to the point that I want to go drop 500 on a griffin! On the way out of town I was running with the heater blasting and still sitting at 235! It would even creep up to 240 at times! I don't know what to do next, the radiater shop said all was good except my fan clutch so I replaced that and it doesn't feel like it blows any more than the last one did. Any ideas? I am thinking about trying a tranny cooler, maybe a setup like Aaron1.
On a side not I did change my injectors and have seen a 2-3mpg increase and the motor fires up on the first crank. It coughs for a couple seconds after but I believe that to be related to resetting my ecm post injector install and it is still relearning the motor. They say it takes 50 starts to find its average. Plus I did it right before big bear so I am sure the elevation change confused it a little.
