Career Change 2: Radiologic Technology ATTN WASHINGTON WHEELERS: Ok so we had a nice rally at the capital. It was a good thing. It was however not enough.We need to do more. Tomorrow Sen. Fraser will push for the sale of the Thurston Co ORV park. Everyone needs to write their senator and...

1074746 Becareful running disco'd on the road. If you have to make a sudden emergent turn or lane change you may not make it. If you do make it, it still wont be pretty that's for sure. On trails being disco'd will increase your rigs capability. This is especially true if you dont have...

1074783 66. if you have seat belt tan lines 67. if the scariest wreck you've ever been in happened while you were going 2mph 68. if you dream of being able to crawl .001 mph in 1st gear at 2000rpms 69. if "disco-ing" means something entirely different to you than skinny guys in white suits...

1074842 Thanks for the welcome. :-D The day went well with no major mechanical delays. The only injury I know about was on my rig (a torn boot on my front propellar shaft :-?) although I'm pretty sure there were a few sunburns too. Pretty good day all in all. cmoore[addsig]

1074852 I would recommend you leave the engine alone. The 4.0 engine is more than capable of getting the job done bone stock. Air boxes, thottle bodies and the like (despite advertiser's claims) dont make big enough gains at the rpms we need them too. IMHO its a waste of money. Typically any...

1074857 This is why: 1.) The stock airbox, throttle body and intake manifold do not have restrictions that can be improved upon enough in the rpms the engine was designed to run (1000-2500 rpm) to even be noticed. 2.) aftermarket air filters (like the K&N) dont filter trail dust very well...

1074872 If you're not going over 35's I would say leave the D30 up front and not worry about it. The front axle doesnt see the same kind of stress and so the D30 usually will hold up very well. Tri County gear has a super 30 kit that will bump the D30 up to D44 strength (except the ring and...

1074973 Hey congrats on your new jeep. Your stock jeep will go places you wouldnt think possible. Just remember to go slow and never wheel alone. As a general rule flooring it is almost never the answer and is usually associated with breakage. I would recommend two mods right off the bat that...

1075004 I actually tried 3 parts stores (to be nameless) before going to the jeep dealer. None had it and not a single guy would even consider looking (or letting me look) at any other CV boots in stock to see if I could make one work. One guy didnt even know what a propellar shaft was. They...

1077270 This is a huge and time old debate but it really does come down to mostly preference. For rockcrawling the auto is more user friendly. With essentially an unlimited crawl ratio the auto can ascend inclines at speeds that the manuals would stall out on. On rocks going slow is king. The...

1074717 Tizer Lake trail (15 miles south of Helena MT off I-15 Jefferson City exit) this Sunday 6July03. It's a nice, sheet metal friendly jeep trail. It usually takes about 4-6 hours round trip. Meet at the trail head around 10am (8:30am at Perkins on Cedar St in Helena for pancakes if you...

1074972 Hey all, Sunday I ripped off the front propeller shaft dust boot on a trail ride (oops). It's an easy fix, drop the shaft from the diff yoke side and slide the old one out and new one on. No worries right? Well it seems my local jeep parts guy wants $44 for the boot. Seems kind of...
