| great pics, question though don't you get worried about being to top heavy with all that stuff on to your xj? I can tell the difference with which passengers I have in the jeep when I lean. So I can just imagine putting rack, spare, ect on top the rig.

| From a spotters view its not so bad. It only leans really hard when he has the wheel turned hard or on a steep hill side. It does well because i think that the wieght on the rack is centered and not over done.

I have been looking for a rear tire carrier that will work with my setup.. I really dont want to cut the rear tube bumper I have now so I have to find something compatible..
I am going to invest in coil overs very soon.. I currently have fox air shocks and it moves back and forth too much being linked front and rear.. It gets pretty scarry on off camber situations. Even with the custom anti rock it still needs coil overs..

Tina your doing good driving in time you will be a pro. Chris thanks for following for the fun on trail 5 sorry I busted my rear drive shaft so early in the day. Matt sorry we left you out I dont deal well with traffic I took a easy out so i could be a happy  well the day was okay for what it was. See you guys at comp next weekend.

| Nester, Its all good.. Thats what I get for getting up front with no exits.. i had a really good time this weekend even with the short days of actual wheeling time.. The trail cutting was a good time even in the cold..
Now I have to figure out how to get those calipers up out of the way..for Tina's rig..LOL...
I challenged her to make it through the rock garden without breakin and the xj is her's..I guess I will be nice and let her have it and order up that 4 seater chassis.. Man, the things we do for these women....
See you all Saturday...

| well if you have to take the skid off and hassel with it like that I would do it myself might be a good time to learn a little more about your rig.

No worries about breaking Nester. It gave me a great chance to go practice on the comp course. I can't thank you and Matt enough for all the advice and pointers during the practice. Thanks to your better halfs for siiting in the cold while we practiced  Matt, thanks for the pics!@See you all this weekend at the comp. |

| | a seal puller would make it easier but not needed, just find anything that will pull the seal that won't scratch the mounting sufface. for dana axles they say that you should use a case spreader but a pry bar to get the carrier out and a dead blow to get it back in will work also. just make sure that if the shims aren't pressed in with the bearings to keep the shims on the correct side and don't mess them up on the way back in. It sounds a lot harder then it is. |
