    Kinda pathetic turnout for the newer GC's
    The two WKs are from vendors, too!

    Actually, one is from 4xGuard, a vendor. One is from a Jeep employee who has borrowed a 3.0L CRD for the event.

    The lack of WJ's this year could be attributed to a couple of items, they were traveling longer distances than most of the ZJ's, although my wife's WJ get way better fuel mileage than my ZJ and I don't think a lot of the owners were keen on taking them on the harder trails thus risking damage to their clean WJs.

    '95 ZJ - after 208k and the fun gear swapped to the '98, now it gets setup to sell
    '01 WJ, T/C skid, K&N replacement - wife's DD
    '04 Honda Civic - my DD

    Yep, that's me. I took one bypass on The Pickle instead of crunching both front fenders.

    Nah, not after we figured out that a little stacking on the passenger side kept it safe.

    Bob, where did you get the end links from. Can we get shorter ones? If the end links where say 3" or so shorter They would be just past the rim I think. That would be enough to clear. The only thing is the swaybar ends might be at too much of an angle. Not sure though. Scott

When we set the suspension up we used my 35's on TR beadlocks (lots less backspacing) and all was good. Willie Worthy (Willies Workbench in the rags) has a similar wheel and tire combo as you and he fought with the factory style swaybar in the tire sidewall thingy too. His is/was complicated by the F8.8 we swapped in it (they are narrower than the D35/44). His solution was to bend the swaybar to get the ends closer to the coils.

    Since I did a F8.8 swap in mine when we started the build (had it laying around anyway) I dropped the factory swaybar and converted the rear to a TJ swaybar. The stock TJ bar was not enough,so I replaced it with an ADDCO TJ bar. Only problem there is you can't get one in time.
    They are S L O W to deliver.

    Simple solution drive it to Moab with the sway, then I can help you remove the sway for the couple of days of wheeling, then reinstall to go home.

    Ditto, but I'd rather break it here rather than in Moab.

    There should be a few places with vacancy, I think the Redstone is booked though.

    We got most of what we wanted done on the truck today. Installed tranny temp, boost, and EGT gauges and flushed the tranny. Wanted to get the power steering flushed too but didn't have time, nor the desire. Tomorrow I just have a couple things to do to the Jeep and we're set.

    Ok, since this is my first event, do we meet anywhere on Thus night or is it just a big meet and greet Friday morning at City Market?

    Sorry for the newb question, I'm sure this is stated somewhere.

    It says on the GSW page, but there is a meeting @ 7pm Thursday night.

    From the site:
    Location: A park across the street from Red Rock Elementary School, which is at: 685 Mill Creek Drive, Moab. MAP
    Last year was all rainy This year will probably be 99.99 deg outside

    But it's a dry heat. Yeah, Thursday night there is a M&G.

    If you signed up for Golden Spike, you need to be at the M&G, so we can see how many want to run it. That's listed on the registration site. If "too many" want to run GS, then we do a raffle.

    OK, so I think with lots of Corey help the rear swaybar issue is solved for now. We shortened the endlinks about 2" or so. The end of the bar is now about even with the rim if not a tad lower. It's a good 1.25" away from the rim.

    Before it was 1/4" from the tire & would rub on a good hard turn or when the tire was stuffed.

    The way it is now it might limit flex a bit but hopefully not too much.

    With Bob's help I'll look into something better/differant after Moab.


    Sadly the other project didn't go so well.

    I have a PSC power steering pump that we thought just needed a Ram 1500 5.9 bracket,pully & new belt.

    Well, the darn bracket hits the tubes coming out of the Steering box.

    This is what good old Matt( in Pennsylvainia) said that all was needed. He just forgot to ad that there's NO steering box sitting under his pump bracket. He has Hydro steering.

    So the PSC pump will have to wait till after Moab as well.

    Corey used some kind of PSC bracket on Chalupa but doesn't know what # it was or what Jeep it was really ment for.

    Other than that I just have to change out the T-case fluid & pop the belly pan back on.

    Cool, thanks for the info! I'm planning on climbing 2 14ers on Thur morning (castle/cunondrum), so I want to give myself enough time.

    If I'm not there, someone drop my name in the hat for Golden Spike please!
