    Mtbxj87's 1989 XJ

    We stared on the power line road where it crosses FS4613. Here we aired down and disconnected sway bars. I only aired down to about 25, any more I start loosing precious ground clearance. After a hairy situation on the power line road, which was gnarlier the expected, we made it to highway 45...

    New u joints for my rear driveshaft;) I couldn't source spicers locally, so I went with precision/moog. Made in 'merica and I've had good luck with them in my past vehicles. I like they have the grease fittings in the cap not in the cross, the joint at the axle has the fitting in the cross but...

    A little trick for those pesky nutserts. I had to install some to mount my tcase skid. I found some standard thread nutserts at ace hardware. I used my power steering pulley install tool to crimp them in the holes. Worked better than any sketchy method out in cyberspace.

    Went for a day trip to Santiam OHV area a few weeks ago. Not too much for mild trails a couple gnarly trails. That area would be best on a moto. But it was fun
