SQRLPWR Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 You don't need a spring, unless you are constantly smacking the antenna off stuff. If you were doing that I would just remove when not used. agreed, and that was one of the reasons why I moved to fiberglass, so great for when I have to get in the garage. trouble is I only actually use the cb on trails, and thats where I need the spring.

autumnwalker Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Campground refurbished some wheels and installed 38" Michelin XML tires (military) on Friday. Wheeled the piss out of the truck on Saturday. Hopefully someone has pics of the campground grinder / paint work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yesterday I started getting my rig ready for helping at the Ledwidge Lookoff Rally. Swept / vacuumed it out, took a shock mount off for repair (need to buy a large die tomorrow), trimmed my new LH tail pipe to match the other side.

TRUXterra Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Finally cleaned the interior (it's been almost a year!). The X lost about 10 lbs after cleaning out the dust & mud... Now painting a really faded wiper cowl...pics to come ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Before & after of the cowl...it's was really sun bleached! OEM is a dark grey, but I went with Satin black Dupli-Color bumper/trim paint. lol, it will be the cleanest part of the X...I haven't washed it since before the NSJC Relay for Life Run in May!!

Command Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Jacked the rear end up again to check for that noise (goes in tomorrow to get looked at, want to make sure it didn't magically disappear lol) seems to be worse and noticed on the drivers side hub assembly (think thats the correct term) that fluid has leaked out and their is a fair amount all over the assembly and dust cover (was not there the last time I checked). Passenger side is nice and dry. Spun the tires and there appears to be more resistance then before and the diff gets really hot after a short drive, will find out whats up tomorrow.

TomWood Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sounds like an axle seal for sure, and whatever is wrong with the center. Hopefully it gets fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same side that got hit. Bearing, seal pooched due to a bent axle tube or axle (most likely the axle). I'll find the post, but I think I mentioned that almost 2 months ago...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My insurance company and the company who did the work also were informed about it, apparently no one listened to me when I told them stuff was off by an inch or so and that the rear end felt different and to please look at the rear end assembly.

backwoodsxj Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Billy's XJ is getting 2x4 rockrails put in this weekend.I have a set here too that I've had for 2 plus years and not welded in yet?His jeep is lower and his rockers are smashed up some so will do his first.......

BlackPrintz Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 The 2"x 4" rails that I had made for my WK were the single best armour I've done. Having the rock rails certainly give me peace of mind and now that the underside is pretty well plated, the odd bang doesn't send shivers up my spine. It's so much easier to pick your line on a trail when you know where you have armour underneath. :king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
