Spartanburg, SC. 2006 IIRC.
Its SO TALL! 
Not like mine was really ready for anything in that timeframe.
Big Dogs, maybe 2007-8. Aaron pimping the Quad colors. Me jumping on a rock. Yager looking on disapprovingly.
Sorry... Just looking through some old pics.
needs moar bypass.
Make sure no one decides to re-surface the flywheel. You will have to buy a new one.
I have resurfaced a 4.0 flywheel and also just hit it with a scotchbrite pad and hosed it down with brake cleaner depending on the condition of the flywheel. Of course I assume the liability of redoing the work on myself, but I do not understand the "you need a new flywheel" mentality.
Damn. That's rough.
Confucious says "You can only do full throttle first gear 4 low launches but so many times"
Huh, THATS not how you remove a driveshaft!
At least the gears look good.
Superglue and duct tape time!
I can say my friend is very happy with his CRD WK. He said he will be much happier with it after a tune...
Glad to see you embraced the name! 
My old 258 would do this as well. Remember there is a difference between volume and pressure. There is plenty of volume, just the bearings are too loose to build pressure at idle once it warms up. I ran 15w40 rotella in it and it helped a little. Only way to "fix" it is new bearings.
The shafts of my shocks are hard chrome. Hard to argue with the properties it adds to the metal. Besides that, I don't have much chrome on my rigs 
I found an orange zip tie in my backpack the other day - they gave them out with the flags 
I have a Neuroc Paragon sticker on my hydro steering box.
I had a certificate free day of wheeling for RC that expired in '04, back when the entrance was by the big rock trucks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.How's that garage ornament of yours doing anyway?
Damn thing would get up and walk off without something to hold it down...
It's just not very common that you see a diesel Jeep is what I'm getting at it and that it would be pretty neat to have one, even if it was just as a project vehicle. Maybe make it your trail Jeep or something, I certainly wouldn't use a diesel as a DD in this economy. I just watched your video Gavan and my god that is an awesome Jeep. That thing sounds awesome too. Did you do all that work yourself?
I made that Jeep from a big pile of parts. I kind of like it myself ;D
I get mid-high teens if there is a lot of towing and hauling and city driving, to mid-low 20s if it is mostly empty and highway driving. For a big heavy pig on 1 tons and heavy 37s, that is pretty phenomenal. I would expect single digits with a health gas motor.
You do a diesel Jeep because you want one. There is no way you can ever justify the fuel savings, there is a lot of work involved, and it takes some dedication and tinkering long after the swap to get everything "right", especially on smaller diesels that there is not as big of a knowledge base on. There is a fair amount of information about the Cummins 4BT, and I am still chasing down all the problems associated with it.
That being said it is still pretty awesome.
A lot of people say diesels have no place in Jeeps, especially 4BTs because they are "big, heavy, loud and vibrate a lot", but they usually do not own one or have been around one that has not been well thought out. Mine is not quiet, but there is no soundproofing, and it is absolutely tolerable - the wind and tire noise over 70 is usually more then the motor, and it runs very smooth on hydro mounts.
Who would do a diesel swap?
I would!!
It's worth it to go. Learned a lot, would go again. Anyone want to bankroll my diesel bill? 8 ain't bad for rolling nearly 40k pounds, but filling up 2 120 gallons tanks over and over again hurts
Nope. Throwing money away. Would be better off trying to find a used stock set in better condition than trying to bandaid a bad set of springs.
Pat and I are gonna make it up to RC tomorrow. We'll meet up at the Turkey Hill. See y'all up there.
I will bring the nitrogen in case the oris need a bump
I will probably be going. If I go I should have a spot on the trailer. Still interested stafford?
Troof hurts.
I caught that as well. The "7000 lbs." cracked me up too. 
Base TJ + one ton axles + 17 inch rims made of 1 inch plate + 15 square yards of 3/16th steel plate "armor" weighs enough...
its when you add the Snap-On tool truck, shop quality continuous duty air with 40 gallons of reserve tanks, enough fluids for an entire fluid change on a D8 Cat Dozer (just in case) and enough spare parts to build a "mini-me" Jeep it really starts to get heavy
Until break something and I need the mobile tool truck/napa store. Then it all seems like a really good idea 
Troof hurts.
