Just found this little slice of heaven forum =P and Im from Staten Island, so if any of you Jersey or LI guys plan a day trip I am definitely game. Haven't tested my Ex offroad yet, and Im just itching to see her get filthy !!

Shoes!

Hey Blaze are those your stock tires by any chance? like I just posted, I haven't been offroading much other then at the yearky DMB concert at SPAC, and Im not very confident that my stock tires would do me very much good. Any recomendations for tires that I can use to go on the casual Off road trip but still have them on there year round for my main mode of transportation? I see alot of snow where I go to school so that could also be a factor in my choice. Thanks for the help!!

va1kyri3, my Ex has stock tires on it and it survived Rausch Creek, this offroad park in PA. As long as they have decent tread and you remember to air down, you'll be just fine for the casual day trip.

 

[explorerguy89]

stock tires do alright and for year round tires i say duratracs which i have or bfg a/t's are best bet

 

[va1kyri3]

sweet, thanks for the tire info bats and explorerguy. has anyone in here ever replaced their rear leafs springs? Was it a PITA? thinking about making it my next project.

 

[explorerguy89]

soo funny story about rausch haha good news is i bought a u joint and didnt need one bad news is im 90% sure i need a new front axel diff and all aaaaand my x-member is pretty battle scarred so prolley a new one of those too

 

[SuRrEaLNJ]

i still say the t-case is most of your noise

 

[explorerguy89]

well i found some fun facts 1. front diff was low on fluid and 2. t case was full of fun fluid (pics will be up shortly) =[

 

[explorerguy89]

[explorerguy89]

I'm still waiting on the local truck shop to dig up parts for me. They said they'd have something by Monday. I called yesterday and still no dice. Then they said they had a nice XJ out back that I might be interested in.

 

[explorerguy89]

i just need to meet up with spas and get that t-case and tow hoop and im good but for now trying to rid my truck of this grinding -.-'

 

[bats]

Just put some oil on it like I did when my brakes were making grinding noises. ><

 

[SuRrEaLNJ]
