It's been a minute since I've been on here. Not much going on with the jeep lately, just love wheeling it. Last trip out I blew up the clutch. Hopefully getting that replaced sometime soon.

Still haven’t fixed the jeep. HOWEVER, I did trade my Tacoma in for something fancy:

Finally fixed my Jeep! While I really enjoy driving it, it’s got an uncomfortable ride... no AC in the summer... soft doors, so it’s loud as hell. It’ll be nice trailering to and from the off road park. I did my first test tow with a UHaul trailer a few weeks ago to fix my Jeep. Fixed it at a buddies shop, and took way less time than I thought. THANKFULLY, my flywheel wasn’t toast. It’s a dual mass flywheel that would have cost about $450 to replace....
I could have got at LEAST another few thousand miles out of this clutch
And finally, all fixed and moving under its own power.

Wow, that clutch is definitely fried. Glad you got yours rolling again. Hoping mine will be too soon.

It's been a minute since I've been on here. Just get busy with life sometimes. Since I've been here last, I bought a trailer. I wanted a nice new Hull trailer, but with a bathroom remodel and a couple big medical bills, I decided I would buy a used trailer until I save up my pennies. Bought it from a buddy for a great price. It's not pretty but it pulls straight as an arrow. I ordered 4 new wheels that are matching, and might put a coat on paint on it someday. I've pulled the Jeep a few times with it, once to Kansas and it does awesome on the road. I'm really happy with the Tundra as well, that 5.7 iForce V8 is no joke. I miss my Tacoma but it's so much more comfortable trailering the TJ. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I'm enjoying it.

Glad to see you back. How do you like the highline metalcloak fenders? I'm planning on getting the overline ones.

I wish I had gone with something different. I’m not the biggest fan of Metalcloak as a company to begin with, and I’m over the look. They were stupid expensive for what they are.

Got hung up in the mini rock garden and did quite a number on my Fishbone Off-road rear fenders... time to upgrade.
And got new wheels and tires for the crawler hauler.
Volunteered to work an event with the Jeep driving people to/from a starting line (runners). We decided to have a little fun waiting.

Sucks about the fender but otherwise looks like fun was had.
