This thread is so members can be pro-actively aware of any upcoming wheeling trips. I have found members are not aware of new trips because they often get posted at the last minute which isn't enough time for them to see the new thread. So to help keep everyone up to date of activates this...

The short story is that I need to remove my aussie locker to replace the drive's side axle backing plate. As it stands now I have removed the center pin, the 4 springs and alignment pins, but I cannot get the passenger side "C" clip to come out and want to know what the trick is? I have...

My driver's door handle had developed a major crack and had partially separated from the door skin. This failure was due to my driver's door sag (Hinge pin repair thread) which required me to slam the door harder and harder to get it to close. After doing this for a period of a year several...

If the T-case is engaging (lights indicate 4x4), but the front end doesn't feel like its locked then one or more hubs are most likely blown. If you are having T-Case engagement issues check out the 4x4 Trouble shooting thread. The easiest way to test hubs (on vehicles with open diffs) while...

4x4 not working (91-94) The purpose of this thread is to consolidate troubleshooting information in one area so people can find the correct information quickly. It is not intended to become a huge run on thread where people ask questions as this would defeat it's purpose. Questions should be...

This Video shows what the lower airbox intake assembly looks like and how it operates. After putting in my KKM cone filter I removed the lower intake assemble to prevent it from fast tracking water towards the air filter. The system is comprised of four basics parts: Engine vacuum...

As the title suggests I would like to know who would be up for some wheeling in South Eastern MA? I am planning a small trail ride in a primarily wooded area that is stocker friendly. Obstacles range from easy to moderate. Some trails are narrow with low hanging tree branches (so paint...

My buddy and I were doing a little wheeling in a wooded area with some tight trails. We got separated when he stopped to look around in an open area for some interested rocks.. Anyway I hear my buddy's wife on the CB telling us to come quick because his MM8K winch is Smoking and about to catch...

I'm sitting home a little after 7pm and my cell rings... Its my friend Jim, whose Cherokee XJ we lifted @ my house a few weeks ago (4" lift kit with 33x12.5). He was wheeling alone :burnout: (his buddy Mike riding shotgun) and tried to traverse a 35' mud hole and got stuck. He was trying to...

Website Suggestions & Concerns Our web site has been static for several months with many areas (Under construction)... So I'm Basically inquiring what is the game plan and who is working out the details? To be honest the current condition of the site is generally lacking and needs to be...

My restoration project actually started out as just a weekend project to replace my Radius arm bushings. Unfortunately as I got into the tear down I kept discovering worn parts that needed to be replaced. So instead of just replacing the Radus arm bushings I ended up replacing every single...

I am planning an on-board air system and would like to install either a single 10 gal air tank, or two 5 gal air tanks in the spare tire area. Unfortunately the spare tire bracket is in the way and would make the tank sit too low and possibly run into ground clearance issues. I have 33" tires...

I would like to know if anyone has experience with the following Compact Metal Bender? I have seached the webb and found many companies produced this product, and they all look 99% identical. I think it would be cool to be able to fab up brackets and other things instead of trying to bend them...

Hauling my snow blower around in the Explorer's trunk area was a pita. In order to shut the hatch I had to leave the rear glass open and tilt the snow blower back so the handles could stick out. Even with a rubber trunk protector the melting snow still made a mess of the trunk. A receiver hitch...

My directionals either side were beginning to flash very rapidly (so fast the bulbs would NOT illuminate). However the bulbs flashed correctly if I stepped on the brakes or I used the hazard lights. I search the boards and found many issues related to the multi-function controller and a few...
