Hopefully if I get a number of nice rides accumulated, it won't seem so bad when those GA guys schedule us for another one in the mud, rain, and snow this winter.

We just aren't afraid of getting dirty.

Past three posts really made me lol
By the way Anthony, can you describe the noise your engine was making before it kasploded? I've been hearing a pretty harsh ticking in the engine lately. Changed the oil last night after only about 3K and it was black. I'm getting a little concerned about the awesome bearing.

I hope you aren't at the beginning stages of an engine failure! Are you under warranty still? May want to have the dealer look at, to diagnose/document any issues before its too late.

Fantastic time and more notches, but we found a trail near the end of the day that we wanted to climb bad, but didn't have the time. You would love this climb - we'll be heading back again so be thinking about another day off if possible.

In the rear, you will notice it....some binding and popping at the point it disengages. It takes a little getting used to. You will not want to drive it in any snow or ice conditions.
Personally I'd put the aussie locker in front, and a good limited slip in the rear...........that is if selectable lockers are not an option.
The reason is if the front tires can't get over the obstacle the rear will never get there. You will also be able to choose the line you want if the front tires are locked.
with the limited slip in the rear the jeep will drive normal on the street in 2wd

BTW, saw a few does and a 300+ hog. One doe had three fawns with her. Was cold in the mornings but hot in the evenings out in the woods.
