Yeah at that angle it’s hard to see how the new mount works.

I did the best possible thing I went off road. Near to destination I saw my Transmission shifter flex 4 inches lateral. Time to retreat only 45 miles to the blacktop. Crawling down in 4 low I hear what sounded like my fan was coring out my radiator (it was). So for sure its new radiator, fan and fan clutch. I cant wait to discover the true damage lmao!

The chalk test is the most accurate.
Tire Pressure
A question that often comes up is "How much air pressure should I put into my tires?" This really depends on too many factors to give a specific pressure. But here is how you can find the correct pressure for your jeep: Take some chalk and draw a line across the tread, from the inside of your...

After reading that I’m sticking with 20ish. Maybe 22 to drive north in a couple days. But since it will be hot, and on the road all day, I might need to let some air out maybe just to get to that.

Finally replaced my front brake line. First time doing that! Flared the lines and put new tube nuts. Took it for a test drive. Now I need to bleed the lines and I’m ready for off-road again.

I ordered parts, damage was the result of a motor mount bolt that left. My body mounts had also gone bad, lost bolts ,body mount bushings so a whole new kit on the way too. the turn signal stalk will now wait another 6 months as will the park brake release lever.

I find 20 is about right but rough on economy, 25 helps economy but the center section wears bad. I want a 33x9.50 on 6 0r 7 inch wheels and thats impossible.

No it's not. I've run a 33x12.5 on a 7" wheel with 25 psi without problems or heavy wear

I cant think of any tire maker doing 33x9.50 if you know one I would love to know. Nitto does a 33x9.5 but they say its not a DOT tire only for utv. Maybe it is just my tires Maxxis RZR 33x10.5 15 being wear prone.

Here's a couple options. I prefer wider 12.5 with 33s. I'm currently running 31 x 10.5 on factory wagon wheels and 33 x 12.5 on a 7" wagon wheel form a ford

Oh that's some good smoked heaven right there Manic. Especially the whole hog and dual bacon explosions. Are those bacon wrapped jalapeños with sour cream as well?

Sure are.
Pig got a little dark but was absolutely delicious. We stuffed the pig with chicken as a trick to keeping the loins from drying out. We did brisket tacos for breakfast

And I'm not supposed to get hungry watching this? Raining here at camp and I can't make a darn thing.
