What did you do to or with your CJ today?

Yea, once the hydraulics start to seap it can be costly.

And messy. thinking about something like this if I have to replace it.

Plugged in block heat, started the jeep, drove it for assorted chores never getting warm inside lol. - 10 degrees and soft top. Grinned the whole time, thats why we have jeeps right?

That is awesome to have those lifts!

Back about 25 yr ago when I was working at the GM Proving Grounds in MI, one of my tasks for a while was to manage the replacement of car lifts at the facility. Usually nighttime work for dozens of double and four post lifts.
Sawcut, demo concrete, dig up/pull out mechanism, install new mechanism and suspend in hole with I-beam steel, backfill with pea gravel, place new concrete.
Could replace one over 2 nights plus a morning for the concrete placement.
Allied Inc. lifts, as I recall.

drove up to Georgetown Co for the 47th season of ice racing on the frozen reservoir. You have to check the schedule, but I think it runs on the weekends from January to march. Saturdays have pro street, street studs, competition studs, and competition cheaters. Sundays are bare rubber and a track set up for anyone wanting to get out on the ice with their personal vehicle. Watching a porch loose it on a turn is fairly spectacular. The races start at 9:30 and go until the mountain shadows fill the valley.

The last picture of the black jeep shows a young man that managed to bury his wheels with front and rear lockers engaged. The more he spun, the deeper he went into the frozen lake. A guy came along with a snatch strap and yanked him out.

ourgangracing.com. puts it all on. If you want to participate on the ice, you will need to register. You have to park in a smallish parking area so get there early. The races are a distance from the parking area, and you can either look on from the shore or walk out to the track area. Some planning is needed, you will be standing on the ice, and you do so at your own risk.

Looks like a lot of fun, except that ride home in an open Jeep.

They were trailered in enclosed trailers. some of these guys are a bit serious.

 

[Manic Mechanic]

I've watched that before. Kinda neat I've seen em use spiked tires and an E-Brake tied to only one wheel to get a good slide

Yeah a trailer and lots of hot chocolate.

Very cool! I’ve noticed them there in the past while headed up for skiing.
Hate the evening drive back though on I-70.

Made my own greasable stainless steel shackle bolts.
