So now you know to take your pup out to all areas of the yard so it'll all be growing good
Just watch where ya step...............

Now that I'm up to size 16s, theres no way I can avoid stepping in it.

I'm getting some odd clunking sound in the front end of the keep. I'm going to get under there and see if anything is loose or broken. Maybe repaint the rock rails if the weather cooperates. New brakes are on the to do list also.

No trip east :cry:

Jeep's rear is complaining too loudly
Monday it will be repaired :BANANA:

Painting inside of the garage this evening, all cabinets will be black with red doors
walls still trying to decide what color, maybe light gray :?:

So whats everyone doing this weekend?

So what's going on with the rear axle? The diff? Pinion seal? Bummer whatever it is... :furious:

My weekend will be spent mowing the yard, trimming bushes, pulling weeds, blah blah blah. But I LOVE being outside - might even wax the Libby! :BANANA:

I plan on spending most of my weekend (after I get off work tomorrow) working on my race jeep. I'm behind the 8 ball this year on it and have the seasons 1st race in a few weeks.......

Race Jeep????
Ok we need to hear more and also some pictures :wink:

Hot Stuff · **Posted:** Fri Apr 26, 2013 11:04 pm

I run 300' sand drags and do some hill climb races too. My racer is a '51willys. I do some bracket racing but I also am a class legal EC4WDA racer. We race at a track in Lisbon, Ohio and Cleves, Ohio. If you Google Gravelrama you can find videos and info. Also http://www.EC4WDA.com

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
If anybody wants to come watch, we'd be happy to have you. http://www.tricounty4x4.com

Also on Facebook.... Tri County Sand Drags

Cool pictures!
Man I haven't been to Gravelrama for years
used to go every year
I think the last time I was there was in 80 or 81 maybe
Had a blast everytime I went!
Yep would be fun to go watch you and everyone else

Hot Stuff · **Posted:** Fri Apr 26, 2013 11:25 pm

My parents raced there from early 70's thru mid 80's. With this jeep. Then I got back into it a couple years ago. Honestly, I would rather go to the Lisbon track than Cleve's track.

Gravel isnt anything like it was back then. Still a good time, but not the same.

I really notice it on the ramps in the parking garage at work...uphill or downhill doesn't matter.

Megalos · **Posted:** Sat Apr 27, 2013 6:43 am

That looks like a blast HStuff. Can we try the hill with our jeeps if we go?
:ROTFL:

Hah...my rig would faint just looking at the hill.

Since the KJ is waiting on parts and not moving,
working in the garage throwing out some junk, sorting out some stuff, getting some extra parts ready to sell,.......................
and then make the cabinets in the rear of the garage look like these I've already done

Is it just one clunk and no more until the next bump or continued?
Check the upper and lower ball joints/tie rod ends first
You still have the stock UCAs don't you? Can't remember ??? :banghead:

I was thinking it might be the ball joints... I've been looking at pics and vids so I'd know what to look for. Might be time to order some JBAs.

Parts ? Did somebody say parts?

Not sure what all I'll sell, digging through, have some KK stuff, also lifters / rocker arms for the 3.7, new set of cylinder heads ( may keep these though just in case ), extra front diff, front 4.10s . Just need to get serious and dig all this stuff out. Most was bought in a bunch of parts and I've used out what I needed, sold some and the rest is just sitting here looking good.

I'd start with them. Thunderbirdjunkie just sold an almost new set of JBA UCAs for a great deal, but Brother Bob grabbed those up :wink:

I might be interested in the 4:10's for the front
