Well the pedals are connected to a solid front axle. That's gotta count for something.
And yea, mine didn't hook up too good either. If I was on loose gravel or wet grass, that wheel would spin for days. I also had the poor kid's Big Wheel. My neighbor had one with streamers and a hand brake. He loved to pull that brake and skid sideways right at me. I didn't like him very much.

Backpacking in Smokies
Test to see if I can embed the picture into a thumb so it opens to 925 pixel width rather than 800 pixel width.
Edit: I'll have to mess with this more later.
This past weekend in the Smoky Mtns.

oh wow, that's a very cool picture, id never want to leave that rock. ive done some hiking up on the at in nc and virgina and it's certainly heaven on earth. im not much of a camper, i like warm running water too much....
i dont have anything to contribute to the lockers front or rear conversation, but it is good to know even you guys can get pissy about the sizes of your local rocks....
not sure if i should start checking henry's oil level everyday now, that's just damn scary to me, i change it every 5k and switched to synthetic at 3k, im thinking he's right at 33 or 34k now....do i really need to get that friendly with his dipstick?
tramission cooler? really?
drive shaft with 2.5" lift? even if im gentle? im thinking not....
and i wont even mention the "whether 1" really makes a difference" question....but YES it does......
and finally to whoever passed me this morning on rideout in the stock black rubi that gave me a "go to hell" look when i waved, bite me..next time it's the finger for you bud....
ok, im done...had a question about henry jumping gears all the time, but not sure how to ask it...ill be back after this meeting......

Dont ya hate that, I waved at someone this morning in a TJ they looked at me like who the hell are you, I thought we were all in the Jeep family, I'm guessing because his TJ was stock and only had two doors he was better than me, Hell I even had my doors off freezing my neck off...........45* this morning my boys just now came back out

By the way Anthony, can you describe the noise your engine was making before it kasploded? I've been hearing a pretty harsh ticking in the engine lately. Changed the oil last night after only about 3K and it was black. I'm getting a little concerned about the awesome bearing.

Jeep Waves

Well . . . can you believe the jerk in the TJ waves at me before I can even get my hand out past the door. Totally contradicted everything I had just said.
Then to make matters worse, we see another JK a few minutes later so I quickly shoot out my hand, while again alerting my friend. The JK instantly responds with a wave.
Now I'm feeling like a bigger idiot than I really am. Finally passed another Jeep later on who just did "The Stare" - restoring my belief that it's probably time to stop waving.
