For the Trail Master lift owners, I found this paragraph concerning maintenance of the control arm joints. I recall mkjeep posting something about this, but I couldn't find it. So I went out looking and found this:
How to service the joints:
The Krawler Joints are unique when it comes to service. We do not use or recommend grease! Grease attracts more dirt and debris then it is worth while doing more harm to the joint itself. Our Krawler Joints are also to tight for grease which is designed to be used in flow through application. We simply recommend removing the service screw, putting in a few drops of 3 and 1 oil and then replacing the service screw every time you perform an oil change.

Pics from this Weekend's Wheeling
Gathering on top.
The descent.
Trying to avoid the mud holes.
It was a beautiful day with plenty of sun . . . at least prior to nightfall.
The trail was marked with orange blazes.
The JKs represented.
Unfortunately, we were headed up the creek without a paddle.
I like Frankie's footrest who waits while the spotters (and the peanut gallery off to the left) discuss the best line.
Not a problem - he's up and over.
Going up. That's 256offroad in front.
Nice clearance which allows for finesse.
Fairly long creek with moments of respite for the weary . . . me.
Once you were in, you were pretty much committed till you reached the top.
More orange blazes.
I'm on top now and got this shot of Taylor approaching the last tricky section - at least on this creek, which I thought was a kiddie ride compared to the next one we climbed. No pics of the latter as we did it in the pitch black of night, which may have skewed my opinion with regard to difficulty.
Had fun guys!!

It was a club organized ride by the damn locals. David and I are both members. We were the only jk's there. There were a lot more people that came out than were expected so it got to be a traffic jam most of the time. All in all we had a great time
