looks really good....now will you be testing that going thru the tubes??....and don't forget the license plate lite as i was just reminded yesterday by the local :mad:

Add me to the list as well :D

add one white mj to the mix on saturday

sweet lookin set-up now it just needs a little breakin in i like the black wheels i run black steels on the street so it's kind of nice to change them once in a while....changes the whole look of the jeep bob

looks like a couple of guys from work want to come out and play with their trucks so i think we'll all be out around 10

Wade....the first dent and scrape is the worst...... :mad: :cry: after that it's proof of how awesome the truck is just keep the touch-up paint handy ;) Still trying to figure out what tree you hit... ... But than I looked again and now I see it. :D haha very funny 8) actually the tree i hit was to the right out of the frame.

so at least 3 trucks and some muddy trails.. :D ....bring a camera! I'm planning to get there around 9

i usually go over there for one day too so let me know what day you're going to be there

Another outstanding day at the Badlands :D and it's really cool to see several comanches together on the trail. We really need to get more mjs out and show them off.

count me in for sure. driving over from indy sat morn should get to attica around 9...i'm with GLXJ as well ..........jeepcoMJ.pm sent......

add one more mj to the list i'm planning on being there too

looks good in green i like it!.......but.......should'a done white ;)

well it looks like i can go on sunday but sat will probably be a work day...i don't want to miss a badlands trip....awesome place!! :D

thanks pete i got the stickers...i'll get them on next week if it ever warms up :D thanks bob

June 2nd sounds good i could plan for that

Went wheeling Sat with the grandson along . We went down to haspin acres with a group from GreatLakesXJ and had a super time. :D Tried out the new winch as well. Haspin Acres with snow was lots of fun... an it's always cool to have a bunch of xj's and mj's together.....i saw one other mj while we down there but still on a trailer... 8)

Sounds like fun, I'm going to try and make it. Sounds like it might warm up a little this week...snowmud. :thumbsup: .... anyone else??

i've got 285-75Rx16 goodyear mtr on 16x8 w 4.25 backspace this is with a rubicon express 5.5 lift kit. seems to work really well with the stock fenders and flares....well just a little bit of a rub when fully stuffed up in a fender and full lock....... also i'm really happy with the goodyears...they appear to wear well(this is my dd so they are on pavement most of the time) and they give great traction in muck and rock bob

Awesome write-up.........way to go Pete!

welcome to the group..by the way describe the vehicle in the avatar ...it looks similar to the super seven s4 i'm rebuilding....

i've got a tube bumper on the back but i hung the plate under the bed. Used another old plate reversed(so you can't read it) and there are existing hole on the right side that match the plate. and hung the real plate of that and mounted a autozone licenseplate light above it and spliced in the wires..i works good and it puts the real license plate just below the bumper visually so the cops can see it ok..(most important is was told) i can e-mail photo if you want bob

yea....she's running.......cap,rotor,plugs none where great so i replaced all, still wouldn't start, unpluged and repluged the cps still no start, still seems like no gas so i pulled the schraeder valve on the fuel rail and put a hose on it and cranked the engine over figuring i'd pump some gas out and check it....instead she fired right up to run then sputtered and died so i repeated this a couple of times(pumped out about a gal of fuel which is clean) deceided what the hell..and put the schraeder insert back in and she starts right up and runs............Yea...i'm just not really sure what was the exact culpert...........the only other possibility is she was mad at me cause i banged her around at Haspin and deceided to take a week off and have me buy her some new stuff........... THANKS ALL!!

yes i hear the fuel pump run while it is turning over and with a remote starter i can depress the relief valve while it is turning over and there is a strong stream of gas. but it seems like when i stop cranking it over then the only pressure in the fuel manifold is relief pressure no more than just a spurt.......should it still be under pressure and pumping if the ignition switch is still on?? also battery is brand new and strong ..it cranking over at normal starting speed bob

I went out to start the truck for work and she cranked over but wouldn't start...(always starts right up) so i tried again and again and she won't start not even a sputter. I've pulled plug wires and got a spark when cranking and there is fuel pressure when cranking (shoots a stream out of the relief valve when depressed)...but with the ign on when i depress the relief valve i only get a small squirt and then no more pressure (i would think it should still be pressurized as the ign switch is still on).....I also gave her several shots either but still she hasn't fired once....... So i'm looking for any ideas on what i've missed or what to try next thanks

Saturday while playing at Haspin I smashed the passenger side LCA mount and that in turn seems to now have my steering wheel turned 90* to the left. :( What fun! My planned repair is to unbolt the arm and bend the mounts back to straight and then re enforce the brackets with a add on skid plate(like jks or RExpress) and/or a welded gusset. The arms are RE's and they don't look damaged and the axle is a HP D30 Can i arc weld on the axle housing without disassembling the axle?? any thoughts on this repair are welcome. thanks bob
