My Side Piece

Saw this old rat rod with a modified DJ cab. So cool!

Looks like a great day out!

Went to Stoney Lonesome Offroad part Saturday and had a great time with my side piece! Sunk her in a mud hole and had to power they it! OMG, the damned mud in the Jeep!!!

Looked like an elephant took a shit in my Jeep on taco Tuesday!

I flipped a front sway bar link in the mud hole so need to lengthen the links.
For those of you running a 4” lift, what is the length of your front sway bar links?

Ughh, I hate mud

After 2 days of cleaning, she’s presentable again! Damn it it, that was nasty.

 

[wjtstudios]

Cleaned up nice!

 

[OverlanderJK]

Dang nice work. Looks totally different.

 

[Bullwinckle]

Damn I hate mud. The Jeep cleaned up well though.

After that amount of cleaning, I wouldn’t touch mud again. Good job cleaning it up.

Thanks guys! Not sure I’ll ever be able to look at a mud hole the same! No bypass, I’m out! Haha!!

Usually you don’t don’t look at the holes the same if they spray brown stuff all over. You stick to the cleaner ones.

I’ve had the Jeep on the trails for the last 3 weekends and it has performed very well, but she’s leaking oil from the rear pinion seal after yesterday’s run up Iron Gap, TN. Into the shop she goes!!!

Well, that's no good

How is it that you are still running your factory shaft??

Never had issues with it so didn’t change it out! Maybe one day!!!

 

[bmkrinne]

So took the Jeep into the shop for a look and seems to be just the seal. I’ve got an appointment next Monday for a diff service, gear and bearing inspection and pinion seal replacement. Hopefully it was all the abrasive mud from 2 weeks ago that got the seal! I’ll find out next week...

I’m just surprised it has lasted that long. Keep on rocking it as long as you can!
