Yeah I went with the BFG AT's cause the tighter tread pattern hides the transition between the two colors.

Good thing there wasn't any mud on the walls or you would have been stuck and had to winch out...

The boy's said "man dad now we will think of your jeep a lot" I told them you should have seen how hard it was to get the jeep in your bed room.

Whoever said rockwells take 3 gallons was right. I bought both 5 gallon pails of gear lube az had in this town, had to go to another store to get the second.

At first I thought to myself, "Why'd he buy 10 gallons of lube for 6 gallon diffs?"
My math-fu is not strong this morning.

Don't worry. An oil change should cost ya close to the same thing. When I worked for O'Reilly's we had the log truck guys come in and spend $300-500 on an oil change...

Yep... 22 quarts of 15w40 for an oil change :doh:
Already bought that. Haven't done the change yet because frankly I don't have a 22+ quart oil drain pan on hand. To do the diffs I had to use my little triangle pan and stick the plug back in when the pan filled, dump it into the 5 gallon pail, then repeat two more times. Stupid 5 gallon pail would not quite fit under the diff.

FIlter it mix it and run it back through.
That is what Lennie does. Hell he gets all my oil.

Yep. once I get a filtering rig set up (figure I'll use a couple buckets and some oil filters + OFAs and let it flow using gravity) I will be dumping it right into the tank... so my end cost will only be about $70 effectively since 10 gallons of diesel would run me 30 bucks.FIlter it mix it and run it back through.

I think he mixes the oil with regular gas 1:1. It may be less gas though. Why are you using diesel? Or am I remembering what he told me wrong?

Well, it runs on anything from fuel oil to gasoline but you're supposed to mix some motor oil with the light stuff if you have to run it, it runs best on diesel. So I generally run on diesel. Apparently throwing some gas into the mix helps with starts in the winter but the PO (who seemed like a real stand-up guy and actually helped me fix it in his driveway till it was solid enough to drive home, his comment was "you are gonna drive this thing 550 miles home? You're ****ing crazy. I love it.") said it started in a crank or two even when it was 15 degrees out.

Have you tried running it on Everclear? It should go REAL fast... for about 20 feet. Then it'll pass out.

Nope. I don't have 78 gallons of Everclear and if I did, would be doing something else with it :cheers:
Also, alcohol has an octane rating of 120+... that is far far too high for this engine. I don't have an engine hoist large enough to reach the middle of the grille nevermind the top of the engine, nor strong enough to lift this engine, so I am trying to not break it for as long as possible.

We have over head cranes here at work. You could just drive it down here and pull up in the middle of the main plant and use one of these.
