    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Spent most of the day messing with the CJ. Got the pulley and reservoir on the PS pump after painting it. Got both diff's drained and refilled with new gear oil. The old stuff was pretty disgusting and the front diff had obvious water contamination but luckily the gears were spared. The rear...

    Oklahoma Adventure Trail

    X2. Once you get south of Broken bow you are pretty much all on county roads flanked by fencing keeping you out of private lands. There is some nice sunday drive type scenery down there. Mount Scott and Carpenter's Bluff Bridge are woth the driving I guess.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Didn't make much progress on the T-case past painting it. Still waiting on a thrust washer and had to order some more adjustment shims for the output assembly since it had zero clearance with the new bearings. Did get the trans back in frame along with the cross member and new starter.

    Midland Texas Blues

    Texas is pretty awful overall as far as off roading areas or dispersed camping. Less than 5 percent of the state is public land and only a faction of that is accessible via vehicle. Pretty much all of your off road options are designated off road parks which I do not enjoy at all. Your...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Same here. My wife originally told me an inch. When I talked to the surgeon that worked on my leg for a followup he said "no not an inch a millimeter. When we pulled the wound apart to irrigate it your artery popped up at us. Any deeper and you would have cut that and your nerve bundle"...

    You should be able to hit the Greenville repeater from the east side of Princeton. There's also the Carrollton repeater that you may be able to hit if it's working. 462.550 tone of 141.3 both in and out. But I'm in McKinney at Collin College for school quite a bit right now so we could...

    Check out the Texas Epic Adventure Trail (TEAT) There's a GPX file on this forum somewhere for it. Easy county and FM roads but good for sightseeing and getting out and about. The northern Part of it (it extendeds into Oklahoma) is the best part of the Oklahoma Adventure Trail (east side).

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Got my T150 torn down. I tore it down because it would pop out of 1st gear when under any torque unless you held the shifter down in 1st and I had the Jeep fully torn down already. These are the only 2 questionable pieces i could find that aren't in my overhaul kit. Reverse idler and...

    Air intake and exhaust. Is it worth it?

    A must read if you are thinking of running "high flow" oiled gauze filters. K&N is a good marketing company but a garbage filter maker. https://www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html

    Air intake and exhaust. Is it worth it?

    Not on a FJ but on my XJ I modded the stock airbox to draw air from the cowling area which is where the HVAC system gets it's air from. This also moves the intake up to the base of the windshield. Exhaust I just left stock.
