Just got here. The campsites are nicely set-up. Now it's time to set-up my camping stuff. Looking forward to the morning on the trails!

Just to follow-up on this. Had a great time at the 101 Class today. Kyle is an awesome instructor. Highly knowledgeable and I must say he is one of the most patient people I've ever met. I learned several things today and his lessons also reinforced a lot of the knowledge I've gained over...

I just had a very late change to my plans this weekend. I'm now going to do the 101 course (never done one before...probably should have 5 or so years ago) at Rausch Creek this weekend. Anyone else going to be there?

I went all the south down past the ferry landing to the museum and then started driving the beaches. I didn't want to do any real wheeling alone. I have the annual beach off roading pass now. I'm looking to go back a few more times over the next four weeks. -Matt

I have the 3.5 inch X-factor lift. The 1 inch stretch is alright for that much lift, but I really think the stretch is only really needed for their 5.5 inch lifts. I only went with this lift because my stock 2007 suspension was pretty worn out and I wanted to replace it all. On a side note...

Took a day trip down to the OBX. No bad for a "scouting trip".

Here's another couple pictures from my trip to the OBX today. I had no idea that the Gravedigger's sport shop was down here!

Here is the real light house from a few hours ago.

Every time I park here at the Norfolk NEX, I come out to another Jeep beside me.

I'm looking to do a few day trips while I'm in Norfolk for the next couple of months. So I've been searching for trails that are "close" to the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Unfortunately everything seems to be near the western, or north western side of the state. So I started to search for...

Another great video! Thank you for putting on the event and sharing Eddie!

Here's one I parked by (amongst others) a few days ago at the local dealership.

I'm getting ready to replace my original water pump for my 3.8L. I can get a new OEM water pump for $145 at the dealership (plus doing the work myself) or I can get a new pump at Advanced auto for $42. I've had a good experience with aftermarket water pumps in the past for other vehicle...

All done. More clearance between the shock and the EVO bracket than I had with the RK bracket. That could be seen as ironic.

After making it to Fastenal, I realized they weren't open on the weekends...doh... Should have checked their hours first. So instead of driving to the nearest Granger, I checked their hours on their website and found out they were closed too. So I picked up a couple of U-bolts at Tractor...

After having my forward axle's RK trackbar bracket rip off a few weeks ago I decided to replace it with the EVO front trackbar bracket. When I ordered it, I decided to buy the rear one too to make sure I didn't have a failure on the rear axle in the future. I got some time today to get started...

Jeep is back on the road! Drives better than before now that I'm running a forward trackbar mount that is firmly attached to the axle. I'm also running the stock trackbar and the rear OEM sway bar links up forward per the kit instructions. Here are a few pictures: EVO bracket assembled...

Received my shipment from EVO earlier today. The new front trackbar mount install has begun. Time for a quick dinner break with the family.

Mark, Thank you again for looking into this for me. I took my 15lb mallet to the bracket (in a controlled manner). I hit the bracket around all of the welds and then a little harder on the front of the bracket (up and down and then from each side). It was hard enough to start to bend the...

I cleaned up the axle and the bracket yesterday. I aligned the bracket and welded it on a little while ago today. Here are a few pictures. My first bead, checking the penetration to verify my settings. They're not the best looking beads, but I got good penetration and no burn...
