    My trip to Rausch Creek...

    Fun fun...

    The Jeep... Rocking the 33's and ready to ride.
    And then..........



    The water got a little deep in the center. I should've LISTENED and stayed to the right.
    Got it out, pulled the plugs and cranked the water out. It fired up then and made it home... Changed the fluids in the diffs, transmission, and t/c. They all came out milky... Changed the oil and filter, put in a new cap and rotor...

    Seems to shift and drive alright... I'll have to check it tomorrow in the light to make sure I don't have leaks or anything.

                        Nice Simon - I was wondering how long it would take you to get these on here - I looked through them on FB.
                        So what happened did the intake not seal right?
                        The best part of that had to be the soggy seat ride home lol. - makes me miss my old tub

                              really does look like you had a good time. Did you do anything to project your floor boards from the usual rot? Jeep is looking great still.
