Cream Puff

[Van-go]

So the rear pinion has some play in it up and down.
Should I just tighten the nut more and send it? It’s an 8.8. No idea how long it’s been like this.

Those pinion nuts tend to work loose. I'd give it a turn by hand and see if that's all it is.

I agree. I wanted to be safe. The effort for non safety items is completely unnecessary though.
I also want to enter some shitbox races with the Jeep in the future if anyone ever does another like Gulches did.

Can’t wait to get this thing loaded on a trailer headed to Harlan

If I get my engine mounts done and go to gulches Saturday I will ask. I enjoyed the competition I watched and swore when I get mine done It would get entered in one there.

Will do. Thanks

Talk me out if sending @77GreenMachine ’s old Cherokee up cream puff in Harlan on UTV stickies… I don’t see what could go wrong

Crazy how much this has changed. First time we hit it , it was a fresh trail , like moss all over the rocks, much narrower and one line .If you didn't hit it hard from the bottom you wouldn't make it out. I got to the top and had to cook about 20k miles off a set of reds to make it out. 2005-6 maybe?
And yes, Dave Rees is lucky to be alive.

Not 100% sure. I got them off Facebook.

Edit:

Daily Driver High Back - (2 Color Options)

The Daily Driver suspension seat features lower sides for getting in and out of your Jeep or truck easier.

So where is that and what's the back story on the near death experience.

Found the video of @Infamous1 Samurai in Lion's Den. Fun starts about the 2:30 mark.

Not slipping off the left side of that slab was half the battle on smaller tire rigs.

Dave did like 4 endos into multiple barrel rolls in his old buggy. Could have been much, much worse. It was one of the worse ones many folks had seen firsthand

Well, I guess I’ll leave in the morning.

Don’t make fun of my grill hoop… it’s coming off and getting re-done after this trip. lol

@Van-go try to get videos of all the fun And bonus style points for not cutting the ends off the zip ties

The entire grill is held on with zip ties. I feel like every XJ owner should carry a bag

 

[Black Bear]

Grill hoop stays... It's classy

That didn't last long. Should be an easy find if stock gears.

Looks like 4.88 to me

The lack of pinion gears has me thinking the same. Theres only 8 of them on a d30 with that ratio.

 

[77GreenMachine]

Yea they are 4:88

 

[ghost]

And done.....

 

[Van-go]

Fun was had after gears let loose.
