What did you do to your Expo Jeep today?

[kojackJKU]

Hajaha I got it online at a place called thinkgeek. Paid too much but I couldn't resist lol. I needed a new phone charger and well there you go now I have a flux capacitor. Oh and my jeep can do 88mph as well so see you guys in 10 years lol.

First time driving on the highway with the soft doors.

Just ordered a new set of LED spot lights for my jeep and a replacement antenna mast for the Mazda 5. The weight of the snow this year bent the stock one.

Replaced AEV 3.5" springs with Old man Emu Heavy load rear springs and medium load fronts in 4" configuration

I began my pre-long arm install front end rebuild late this morning by removing the OME steering stabilizer and JKS track bar that had been on for 8 years. I also removed the left brake caliper, rotor, and hub/axle shaft assembly.

Long story short, I used WD40 Specialist Rust Release Penetrant for the first time, I'm liking it better than PB Blaster.

I'd forgotten to put anti-seize on the shoulder bolt for inside the sleeved bushing on the axle end on the OME stabilizer. I was able to spray it into the bushing area and it worked its way along the bolt in probably 15 minutes. I was able to tap the bolt out after that. Everywhere I used it nuts came right off including the track bar tab on the axle end as well.

It began raining (only to stop 10 minutes after I'd cleaned up the tools), so tomorrow I'll take apart the other side and then begin removing the ball joints.

What did my Jeep do? Got dirty, snowy and was checked for full suspension travel. We turned back at around 11k feet elevation, where the dozer was parked. They had cleared the trail over the pass, but it was starting to look pretty sketchy.

awesome. Greg, what wheels do you have on your rig?

Thanks! They're the Quadratec Rubicon Xtreme wheels, 17x9 with 4.75 BS and cost $150/ea. I really like them, look like a factory wheel with less BS and more width.

That's why I asked. I am getting the same ones in the argent/mineral grey color. I think they look a lot like the AEV bridger wheels. Thanks, they look great!

The Pentastar makes like 90% of its torque below 2k RPM. You're quoting internet myth.

And the DOHC 4 in the last Cavalier made more hp than the 3.1V6 too, I'm quoting EXPERIENCE. Try 4400 RPM for it's supposed 260 ft#s.

I love the RTTs but they are too rich for my blood, plus I'd hate to pack that thing up at 11pm when one of the guys says "night ride anyone?" LOL.
