Went to Uwharrie wheeling today since it's closing on the 15th. Was muddy, slick and raining...Damn was it fun. Only took 2 hours with the pressure washer to get it all clean again.
Geez Dan, no wonder you haven't been on much.
So it's really gone JJ?

Dang jj where is he taking it and what's the plan? Sorry bro.
Jeff I'm gonna miss out on uwharrie. Got up at 4 this morning for deer hunting, got all ready and packed up and let the jeep warm up. Came back out and noticed it was running a bit funny and the lights were dim. Turned it off and tried to start it again and sure enough just got clicking. I was getting a check gauges light and decided to put in the new batt temp sensor I had to see if it fixed anything. Nope. So I buttoned it all back up and put it on the charger at 5, woke up at 9 and drove it to AZ and found it has a bad regulator. Yay.
Spent the rest of the day trying to complete an axle swap in an xj. The used axle unfortunate had a busted u joint and we fought with that for a long time. The press kit we rented was bent so we ended up with two from different stores. Broke the new ujoint after 4 hours of messing with it, including cutting through the old one with a grinder but no cut off wheels. We got the old axle out after cutting one lca bolt off and called it a night. Didn't have the right tools it appeared. Also busted two pitman arm pullers trying to get that off for a new steering box, no idea how that works. Told my friend to order a new arm. And we found out the new radiator is leaking, and there's a massive oil pan leak on the "new 50k mile" engine he had put in. Just empty every pocket. We had about 600 dollars of lunar tools there lol. Still haven't fixed my alternator but I did score a free radio.
