The Gambler 500 OR, 1000 miles in the XJ and roadside repairs

If you don't know what the Gambler 500  is, you need to! Imagine a party with a bunch of people in freaky cars.  Then you head out to the woods while trying to avoid paved roads and pickup TONS of garbage, abandoned trailers and vehicles to clean up public lands. We met a group of guys last year that welcomed us into their group and invited us to hang with them again this year. Folks are unpretentious and friendly.  There may have been more XJ's than any other single vehicle. Here's our experience .

Oh it was dirty. I dumped about a cup of dust out of the air filter, (replaced now). I also had to change the water pump on the side of the road. That was the first time that I've seen the bearings catastrophically fail with no warning. Luckily our Gambler buds helped us get the parts that we needed.
