So, was the oil from the filter messing with the mass air sensor, causing the fueling problem?

White Jeep finally made some new content!

Sounds like another fun trip!

Well..... Mixed reviews. Started Thursday night with a drive to Tulare to go to a meeting. Went great. Friday night, was going to gate crash the Wayalife meet up in Fresno. Made it 15 miles, smelled and saw smoke, pulled over to find engine oil spewing on the exhaust. A sensor with an aftermarket adapter was the source. We called for a ride, got the trailer to go fetch the Jeep, very frustrated by then. Upon investigation, the sensor thread did not match the adapter thread. It had been threaded in about one turn, until it bound up, and with sealant it held, for a while. I was able to tap the aluminum adapter so we could get the sensor fully threaded in to compress the crush washer, and it seems to be holding. The test trip was back on, so up the mountain we went. Jeep runs great. GenRight Elite performs great on the trail, both fast and crawling. After a couple of obstacles, a grinding started so another problem to investigate. Transmission mount was loose, but it couldn't go far, just enough to rub the balance weight on the driveshaft on the cross member. We did a little bit more wheeling then headed home to work on the problems. Fortunately the transmission mount just had loose bolts, but by design they couldn't come out, so getting some loc tight on them and retightening them should do the trick. It's going to take a while to get used to the new set up, and what it is capable of, but it is absolutely a beast! Much more to come later, but for now, we cut the POS EVO sliders off so I can get the body straightened out, armor on, and new Krashfab sliders installed.

Bald Mountain, up by Visalia. You're welcome to come up.

Update: The White Jeep is alive again! Going to go for a test drive Saturday, that it goes well.

Looks good

Is this drive in and camp, or more remote?

What a beautiful place

Well, the atmosphere will basically be like a home game

I have questions about the 40 spline super 60. Is that new? Have I just missed it? Sounds like something that could be in my future thoughts as well.

Interesting topic. I say it largely depends on where and what kind of wheeling you do. My choice runs to high pinion, for driveshaft clearance. With rocks that move a lot, like the Hammers, and others I frequent. The 14 bolt is strong, but comes at the expense of driveshaft clearance. I do like the idea of 40 spline axles. Are you going with RCVs as well?

Good idea to keep greedy hands out of things.

That looks good! Going to save it and give it a try!
