Tested some oils with the tester we have at work before changing the engine oil and filter. Recalibrated it for each test with a clean sample of each oil. Engine after 8500 miles Royal Purple 0W20: Still technically "good" showed no signs of notable metal particles, Antifreeze, or water...

The camp host said it was all vehicles on the trails, and since it was a holiday weekend they were probably going to have Rangers closing gates and writing tickets so I wasn't taking chances.

Yeah the weather was about 65 degrees. There was a closure due to fire risk at 1PM so I had to hit the trails early, I started about 6:45. There was a little bit that was slick, but honestly the logs at Wild Bill I did two weekends ago were slicker.

Back out on the trail, this time in Tillamook State Forest for Firebreak #5 and Cedar Tree #13. I also had some goober asking where my tent was. Apparently he was upset I was camping with only a hammock.

So, I mean, in theory you could convert it with a tedious amount of math, but in practice having done the stock bolt a twice and I actually just did a teraflex Falcon steering stabilizer today, it's probably in the ballpark of 230ish based on my calibrated arm.

The factory spec is 52 ft lbs +155 degrees

Find somewhere to park that is as flat as possible, take measurements along the smooth sections on the axle tube to the ground, they should all be the same. As far as that causing your wear, if you get taller measurements closer to the center that could cause that weird tire wear. Or something...

Is your axle bowed?

Replaced my steering stabilizer with a Falcon Nexus because the stock one has been damaged beyond function for the last 18 months. Zero death wobble to report in that time as well which lends credibility that the stabilizer is a bandaid if you're replacing it to get rid of death wobble.

Months.

And two new badges waiting in the mailbox when I got home, how bout that?

I threw on some Synergy Mfg wheel spacers to stop the little bit of rubbing I was having. I also replaced the shitty factory 2 piece lug nuts with some nice single piece lug nuts. Conspiracy time: two piece lug nuts are a scam by big lug nut to make you buy more lug nuts.

710: the mystery fluid your crews ask you about when they're holding the Jerry can upside down.

Actually it works better to wrap your whole jeep in it. And then be sure to replace your windows and windshield with these: https://www.leadshielding.com/products/lead-glass-windows?variant=40993084637344

I hope one day I can track down an old military jeep.

Are transmission filters backordered or something? It's been a week and my order is still processing :(

Nah I just don't really romp on the skinny pedal.

Pay him no mind, there's a 90% chance he's either a bot or paid advertiser. He joined today at 9am and his two posts bragging about MPG read like a sales pitch.

It's been 5000ish miles since I installed the gears and lockers, and I just did 1500 of them over this past weekend including two badge of honor trails so I dropped the diff covers to inspect what's going on in there. Gears still look like they just came out of the box. I did fluid swaps at 750...
