Speaking of water, I just started taking my hubs & axles out today. The axle tubes were full of mud, sand and a lot of condensation. The passenger side hub spun a bearing. I installed the new Alloy USA Outter Axle Tube Seals. I'd recommend them to everyone. They're around $ 80.00 a pair but a good investment in my opinion. Easy to install and greasable. I dropped my axles off at a local shop & let them press the new U-joints. The Locker should be here today or tommorrow, I'll do a write-up on it as soon as I'm done. It's my first locker install so wish me luck. Ahh Mud... good luck Chip. Get a big hammer..

Checking Tire Pressure - Determine Correct Pressure How to figure the correct tire pressure for larger tires.Typically larger tires handle your vehicles weight differently than stock and the original door recommendations don't necessarily apply. Why should you care? A tire not properly inflated will wear incorrectly and quicker than a properly inflated one would. Replacing tires that are worn out too quickly will hurt you in the pocket book, in actually more ways than one. An under-inflated tire will cause increased rolling resistance which will rob you of fuel economy and possibly damage the tire due to excessive heat. Other symptoms of under-inflation can be a steering pull. On the other hand an over-inflated tire can give you an improvement in fuel economy but that savings will disappear when you need to replace your tires sooner. Over-inflation will also cause a harsher ride potential poor handling since the tires may skid over the road instead of grip. The illustration is a cross section giving a better view to what proper or improper inflation does. Under-inflated: Wears the edges of the tread more than the center. Over-inflated: Wears the center of the tread more than the edges. Proper: The entire tread is worn at the same rate (aka, correct pressure). What to do? Checking proper tire inflation is rather simple and requires some chalk or a utility crayon. Make a mark all the way across each tire. Drive the Jeep for a short distance, a straight line is best. Note the wear pattern in the chalk. If there is chalk left at the edge the tire is over inflated. Chalk left in the center means it's under-inflated. A clean pattern indicates the pressure is just right. Make a note of the pressure for future reference. This procedure would need to be performed again of different size or style tires are added.

Hey everyone.. Ok i'll be first.. Been Jeepin for a long time and I like to fix and build. I hate mud.. You can say what you want I will still hate mud.. My YJ had 8 inches of lift and I put a weber carb on it to keep it running. It had a dent on every panel and my hood was crunched when it flew open one day. Also had pro comp 35.s. Yellow Rubicon is a few years old to me and I found it in South Carolina. I flew down to get it and drove it home. 4" procomp lift on 33's. Made my front bumper added all the rest over the last few years. Thats it and maybe see you on the trail one day... ;D
