Thanks guys! Well, I dont have any pics, but my leaking fuel tank has been nagging me for a few weeks now. There's a small vent tube at the front of the tank, on the top corner. The weld here had long since let go. I discovered this because it was leaking when i put it in, and had been sealed...

maybe he edited, but his post clearly says the GVWR of the E1 is what his jeep can handle, not the dry weight. That would be 3500lbs total for the GVWR. I have no input on the abilities of a 2012 v6 though, so, i hope you find your answer!

just read through a bunch of this build, the truck is looking awesome! I love when MJ's get some attention.

A few more awesome pics of the trip, thanks to PhotoJared and his mad camera skills. VegasJeepGuy in the lead the ONLY way to cook on a fire: And now some crappy pictures from my cell phone: Looked like we were going to have some weather on the way in Standard trail: It's real...

are you dying to get a new vehicle, like, this moment? Just wait until you find a newish XJ in good shape with less than 120k miles on it.

Just got back from a camping Trip with vegasjeepguy and photojared. I'm sure I'll update with everything a little later, but all went well, no real issues (though i did break a shock mount that I broke once before).

Ha, thanks guys. the PO told me "yeah man i had that old grandpa wing on there and i ripped it off as soon as i got it" and i was all NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO had to find another one in good shape. but its back....with style!

Nothing to do with EXPO but installed some OEM wing action! This has got to add at least 15hp, increase fuel economy by 2mpg, and it should also create enough down-force on the trail for increased traction that I'll never need to install lockers

I was just going t pull up the pic you posted in my trailer thread haha, about hoew the Gloss Almond or Almond from rustoleum are almost a perfect match.

Hmm, contrary to the above, it actually looks stranger than I thought. maybe if you were running with less backspacing and the tires were under the body.

Yeah, i will sometimes air down, I would have been SOL this time though because I dont have a compressor. The biggest issue was the bumpy off camber stuff, wreaking havoc on my carb's ability to maintain that ever so perfect air/fuel ratio. If you don't have anything constructive to add, pipe...

No, not yet, but I was wondering about that. It wouldnt be for shooting trips though, i take too many guns, i'd need a hell of a rack. I didnt air down, simply because I didn't want to have to air back up. And i've barely begun looking into fuel injection. i need to better decide what i'm...

So, this was the most recent trip, and this was a trip that brought up some issues. Angles Peak. the trail goes up over 8000', up to the observatory on Mt. Charleston. I wasnt worried about the elevation, but I was told the last mile or two of the trail gets kinda sketchy. Started out as...

I gotta fix that one dark head light, what the heck. Stupid cheap product! I think you can see a trend here, about how many of my friends have old iron....yeah, i'm pretty much one of the oly guys who goes out with everybody on a regular basis. And i'm always the one that has to stop for...

Thanks! K, so, we're almost caught up to now. With the fuel percolation issues supposedly under control, I just wheeled it all spring and summer. The trip to Zion was in April if memory serves, so it was only going to get hotter! A few small trips here and there. We headed out for a night...

this thread is one big tease....

Okay, enough about my trail camper, back to the truck. SOOOOOO After doing the e-pump i drove it around alot. I'm excited to say that the truck hasnt surged once all summer. I've pushed it offroad, on the highway and on the streets and it didnt so much as hiccup in the 115* heat. GOOD! But...

Well, I actually just discovered it will cost like 30 bucks to lift the trailer and keep the stock rims, haha. Thats not good....because it means im going to lift it. Dang it. just need to weld in some stock to serve as a spacer between the frame and the flange on the end of the torsion axle...

Well, to break away from the boring reliability mods and whatnot, I spent the weekend cleaning, prepping, inspecting, and painting my new popup. I'll spare the boring details, but absolutely everything works, and everything is in great shape, especially for a 32 year old trailer. Again...

Now that you mention it, I might as well list this. May offer some insight for some folks. I've actually realized that I carry alot more than alot of people do, but i dont consider it to be very much.... My current trail box (well, i guess my 'cargo area' because it doesnt all fit in the tool...
