Re: November Flat Nasty trip 27-29

Are there any meal requests? I have already had a question about bringing the pizza oven and am fine with that.

Re: Badlands Sept. 19

Planning to go to the Badlands on the 19th. This is our first time going with the club. Could someone tell me how it works?

Put the vin into the following link and see what the true actual status is with the state. As others have said, good title 3-4K bad title then 1-2K.

Re: Passenger side door won't open or close properly

I would check the body around where the door striker mounts. Have seen the tub crack and the striker sit at an odd angle and either be hard to latch/release or not catch and have the door pop open.

Re: Trailer suspention

Bringing this back to the top. Replacing brake backing plates and repacking the wheel bearings and found a broken shackle half. Remember to check this weak wear part before heading out for the first pull of the year.

Re: 42RLE Opinions

Autos are supposed to be nice going up hill, but not so much for going down.... If I were to seriously wheel a 42rle, I would look into replacing it with a built one from ATS with their t/c. Then also a trans programmer to control torque management and lockup rpm. Water intrusion should be easy to f...

Re: adjustable trackbars

It looks like the kit comes with a new bracket to raise the rear trackbar to keep the axle centered so I would think no for the rear. For the front I would say yes. It will allow you to recenter the axle when doing the alignment.

You and your occasional alter egos will be missed. So if you are out of jeeping, does that mean the barn down south is up for rent to other members trying to hide jeeps? :roll:
