What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2012

[CmmdrDan]

Finally got rid of the annoying clank from the rear end. Tightened. Up the sway bar. Heading back down to OBX at the end of the week. So it would have been really bad listening to that the whole way!

I left for Charlotte stopped to wash the jeep on the way out that took forever. Stopped for gas 1hr later set the pump ran inside for coffee and the pump never shut off I leaked about 3 gallons on the floor but the jeep stunk real bad. Found another car wash 30mn later I was getting stick at this point my lips were numb. I guess I still had some mud stuck in there that soaked up the fuel and kept it from evaporating.

Then my hotel was so nasty I had to check out and wash all my clean clothes again because they smelled just from being left in the room overnight. My eyes were watering for hours after I left that place. I didn't even know hotels still had smoking rooms but they do because I got one with extra room mates the roaches allowed me to spend the night with them LOL I complained to my work they got my roomed switched but when I got back there the power was off in the hotel WTF then they fumigated for the roaches they said didn't have LOL so they smelled real good. I just snapped at that point packed all my stuff up thew the key at the person at the front desk and left. I'm in the Drury Inn now great place modern clean free hot breakfast and dinner plus a drink card with 3 free drinks for every night LOL Then on the way to the new hotel all worked up and T'd off I slammed my knee into the key while driving! Everything shut off except the engine was still running but showing 0 RPM weird. Threw a bunch of codes 10 of them in all even one that said original VIN mismatch Any way I cleared them off and they stayed off so far been a weird few days.

Installed an Aussie Locker in the rear end of the XK. Spin test was a success. I'm locked now!!!

What brings you to Charlotte? Btw, I just got back from watching my brother graduate from Basic in FT. Leonardwood. AIT started today for dive school, 90% wash out rate! lol


Anyways got that free oil change from the stealership a week ago, those guys didn't see anything wrong with my axle *clicking sound*. Their best guess was calipers sticking? I'm not sure they even looked after getting that response! haha

You probably won't see it in action. I'm really thinking about pulling it right back out. It is soo loud when you make a right or left turn from a stop. I'm not impressed at all. I'm actually pissed that I didn't wait for the powertrax no slip to be available. This Aussie should only be installed in a rig that's pulled by trailer.

Transmission shop said my oil pan was leaking because it seems to have "hit something". Never thought I actually knicked anything last year at uwharrie, but I guess I was wrong. They are agoing to reshape the oil pan and add a new gasket make it all work. Relatively cheap for new fluid, filters and gasket its just under 140, seemed fair to me.

Looks like if I am planning on wheeling soon, I will need a tranny skid from SA. But for now, no wheeling is in my future for right now with the baby here. Maybe time to upgrade my UCA's soon but we'll see.
