Yup! That was probably me heading to work this morning. Were you the black Ford Explorer?

Thats awesome, thanks for sharing Paul!

I've seen contradictory information on where the club is wheeling at this weekend.. Rocks and Valleys or Bundy Hill. Could someone please let me know where its happening and what time to be there?

The main trail rides section of this forum is member-only so I can't see what the final outcome is.

Thanks!

Brandon

I plan to be there as well.

Hey Neil! Welcome back to the Jeep world. I'm freshly back as well.. we were just up at Rocks and Valleys last weekend.

Hey Brandon, long time no see!

You too Paul! How the heck are you?!

I'll be at the Sunday meeting.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hello.. I used to be a part of WLB years ago and found out my account still exists. I sold my 98 TJ around 8 years ago when the motor blew and I couldn't afford to fix it... but I just recently picked up a 2018 JKU Rubicon Recon and am looking to get back into wheeling! I rode with Cody (TechJeeper) at The Mounds a few weeks ago and was at the club picnic after. I'll be at Rocks and Valleys tomorrow. Hoping to renew my membership although it looks like I might have to go to a club meeting before that's possible?

See you on the trail!

I'm looking for a trailer hitch for my 98 TJ. Our house is getting foreclosed on and I need something to be able to pull our small, 1/2 ton utility trailer with.

I've got an extension and a ball.. Just need something to mount it to .

Thanks.

Got a gas cap today at Meijer for $14. Its a locking one too. They had a pretty large selection of locking and regular gas caps.

Hmm.. I'll definitely give this a try.

Thanks for the info.

Haha thats a good idea!

I'm working at a place called Spud Software. We work with dealerships all over the country and provide three programs for them. I do the tech support for those programs and work with the dealerships to set them up and get things working correctly.

No free stuff, sorry.. Unless you have a use for about 75 15" CRT monitors!!  Goodwill is coming to pick them up in a few days.

Check engine light is not on.. but I will get a gas cap and see if that fixes anything.

I didn't think limp mode would cause leaking or noises though.. doesn't it just lockout 3rd gear?

Still haven't gotten around to getting this yet.

I got a new job and I drive about 25 miles a week in my Jeep now and work 40+ hours a week. Haven't had the time nor the motivation to go out and get one.

I would almost argue that I get better gas milleage without the gas cap on.. but damn all those people that come up to me and say "You know your missing your gas cap?" sure are annoying! haha...

Well it looks like my transmission is going again. Not sure why this time.

It was slipping the other day so I checked the levels. It was about a quart low. Filled it up.. and today it was slipping again. So I checked the fluid and it was low again. Ended up taking it to Magpie for a proffessional oppinion. They filled it up for me for free.. said it was about 2 quarts low.

They also mentioned that my tranny seems to be making a lot of noise, and it is leaking somewhere, although the only puddle that seems to be on my driveway or at work is from the steering gear. The guy at Magpie said it sounded like it was something to do with the torque converter. He also mentioned the possibility of it leaking into the transfer case... ?

Looks like I picked up my tranny from Two Track Minds last year on October 23rd after they rebuilt it. I'm hoping they don't have any issues with the one year warranty I got through them. I have faith though, they seem to be good guys.
