What was done to your rig this week?

[Cousin Clyde]

No frame or body damage?

I made this slider deal a while back that helps keep the frame solid on impact.

Nice, that’s awesome! That sube was munched!

While on Cliff Hanger last week I munched one side of my front antirocks on the first major obstacle coming up out of the creek. Wrapped it around the tie rod from over centering it. Good to see they sell the components so an easy fix. Parts are on the way.

Bummer. Looks like you are/were running links that are too short.

Probably true, I added 3.5 inch RK springs right before the trip, up from 2.5. Modded the RK arms but didn't touch the links. Lesson learned.
How many guys use limit straps to avoid over travel?

The ONLY reason to run limiting straps is if you have so much droop that your drive shafts bind at a full droop. Other than that, your shocks are your limiting straps.

You need longer links not limiting straps.

Thanks, I've run the old setup for 5 years with no issues. amazing what another inch will do. ;-)

I swear my Jeep thinks she's part Harley-Davidson

Pulled the skid plates of the jeep so I could drop it off at the transmission shop. Turns out the noise I thought was an idler pully was my throw-out bearing. Started grinding, squealing, and vibrating the pedal 2 days ago when I got home. While he has it open I opted to replace the clutch too. Had 73k on it and I know it's a bit early but I don't want to pay additional labor to have it opened up in another 25-50k miles. Dropped it off this morning amd he's going to try to have it back to me by the end of the day. That's a lot quicker than I could have done it in my garage...haha.

Had a matching wheel installed today on the spare (Method 707). I could say it's so I can do a 5-tire rotation, but the truth is I'm so used to having five identical wheels on Wranglers, I had to order a fifth. The spare is out of sight of course, but here's a photo just because:

Well I got a call 10 mins after the shop closed to tell me they got it all finished. The shop manager waited another 20 mins for me to drive and pick up my Jeep. I've got to say I had no idea they could do a clutch job that fast. Clutch feels much better now. The pedal is softer and will take some getting used to but it shifts better than it did new.
