There isn't any camping, I'm going from the jam on the 15th to FJ on the 16th and Im staying in the RV somewhere close. Its too damn far to go back & forth both days. But I will be at FJ early so look for me.

A little FYI for all of you. When I did my axle swap last weekend I noticed a small leak from the passenger front. I figured I must have torn the inner seal so I pulled them both back out and replaced both inner seals. When I pulled the old seals I did not notice any damage to either of thembut since I had it apart I replaced them anyway. The jeep sat in the garage until yesterday when I drove it to work with no problems. When I got to work which is about a 20mile drive I checked the front end and no leaks.... However when I got home last night i noticed that the passenger front had been spitting a little oil So now im Well come to find out that the passenger front superior chromoly shaft is .010 smaller than a factory shaft and requires a D30 inner seal Those of you who plan on doing this mod keep this in mind when you select your shafts, replacing the inner seals is not a fun job. So now for the 3rd time I get to pull my shafts and for the 2nd time replace my seals
So to answer why Im not sure if I can do this anymore bob, Im just not sure I want to pull and replace my axles just to go wheeling tomorrow. Although if Time permits today I just might

I have a friend that just got a XJ with 33's and ask if I'd take him wheeling tomorrow. Any ideas on where and anyone want to go with? Thinking table mesa Rd or the coves (have not been there).

I just got done swapping my front shafts so I can hit table mesa in the AM if anyone wants to go. Ill have to be off the trail by noon so If we want to do more than one trail we will need to meet for air down early, otherwise maybe 8:30. we can run predator terminator or raw deal or any combination of the two if you want to meet early

What time would you want to meet at T.M.? I need to be done in time to go to the pumpkin patch in Prescott with my kiddos so 7:30-9 would be the latest I could start depending how many trails you want to do.

Do you have sliders/rock rails? If not you will not be able to run terminator with out rocker damage and predator is a no go for sure. raw deal can be done stock with some careful driving and a bypass at the end. let me know
