Made my first trip to Moab this week and tested my TJ and myself for the first time after the build. Hells Revenge was my first stop and boy did it scare me. Had an issue where my auto trans would drop out when I was vertical too long. Which is a bad time for it to happen, like on The Escalator. A mechanic friend recommended a half quart of fluid even though it was full on the stick. Problem solved. In three day I ran Hells Revenge twice and fins and things 5 times. I put the Tom Woods shafts, G2 D44's, Currie suspension with Antirock, Currie steering linkage, and Rancho shocks to the test. Only problem after it all is my steering wheel is about 20° to the right but my track is true. So, some minor adjustments or an alignment should sort it out. 6 more days in Utah riding BLM trails, and back to Fort Worth, Texas. Next Jeep job is to turbo the 4.0 or drop in an LS V8. The mountains are brutal and motorhomes are passing me. I would be embarrassed if I were in anything other than a Jeep.
