Digger, you get your trans issue resolved?

Yep, pics in a bit

Here are some pictures of what I have been dealing with the last few weeks (hence why I haven't been on LOST much)

That is a wore out clutch folks. While there wasn't any friction material left on the pressure plate side, their was some left on the dual mass fly wheel side. The strange thing was it didn't really give any indication that it was dieing. The clutch release bearing has been making noise now for a month or so. 10 miles before I lost the clutch all together, it started to slip a little when getting on and off the gas at highway speed...

I got these from edrivestore as well, took about a week to receive them. I just put two coats of duplicolor clear coat i had left over from my old xj on each one and stuck 'em on. They match pretty well...

Good to know. I think the takeaway here is that I just need to order some and go from there.

Napa Auto Parts has other colors available you just have to call the store. they will order from their warehouse and it normally takes just a few hours to get them. I Purchased red dip from them, called them that morning and they said it would be in at 4 that afternoon. so if you needed red or yellow etc you could go that route :wink:

Yeah, I was able to find red at a local Ace hardware. I sprayed my front badge last night and it looks great, the only problem is I'm more of a blue person so I'm debating whether to do the rest of them. Unfortunately, it appears blue in spray form is somewhat rare, so I'm thinking I might try brushing it on (they have liquid blue, but not spray blue for some reason). I suppose if it doesn't look good I can just peel it off.

Wow, very little warning!
How many miles are on your Odometer?

I tried to brush plasti-dip on one of my rear badges last night. Looks okay from a distance, looks like crap up close. Don't really like the shade of blue either, so it's almost certainly coming back off tonight. On the plus side, the red will match my Wisconsin hitch cover.

Yakima all installed.

There is so much pollen out there this spring!!! Ordered the air inlet housing to do MtnLvr's HEPA filter mod. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=41921
BTW, has anyone who completed this highly complex install got any words of advice or encouragement for those about to try it?

Drop your front down to sit between 22.5 to 22.25. I haven't had a problem in 10000 miles or so. At one point, I was getting 700 to 2500 out if a set. After ripping the front down for the 4th time, I just dropped the lift.
