Any Jeepers in here?

[jrogers88]

Very true. I still have to fix the front axle then its gonna be getting an ome suspension setup and probably some 30's or 31's. Ive been considering changing to 16" rims on it since there are more tire options now for them over 15's

No Jeep gets abused off road, it just gets used for the original purpose that Jeeps were built for.

Jeeps are like women, they thrive on neglect and abuse

Anyone know of any good offroading spots in SW Indiana? I live in Franklin IN, just north of Columbus.

Not looking for anything crazy just something I can check out by myself with 33s and a front locker.

Haspin...just east of shelbyville....join 4 wheel to freedom

Go to Badlands, something for everyone (including myself at Stock).

And never wheel alone. You never know when something will break and you will need a tow back to the work area.

How far south and west? Interlake. Red Bird.

+1 Never wheel alone.

Closest legal wheeling is Haspin (not my favorite place) in Laurel, and then Redbird in Linton. Both The Badlands (Attica) and Interlake (Lynnville) are about 2 hours from you. Badands is likely the best spot for less experienced folks and/or less modified vehicles - they have something for everyone.

And, yeah, never go alone! Grab a buddy, or hook up with another group.

NOTE: Redbird SRA is having a Night Ride on April 6th. Pay one gate fee, and wheel all day/night. Camping available across the street at Redbird Station, at Green-Sullivan Forest, and Shakamak SP. Several clubs are doing trail maintenance that morning, so keep a lookout for workers on the trails.

Has anyone installed a Novak Shifter Linkage kit before?

How difficult is it to do?

I'm getting tired of my Jeep popping out of 4 wheel drive.

i never have, but have heard from several who have that it isnt hard. I tend to live up to being a cheap Jeeper and couldnt find it in myself to pony up for one. Made my own from some all thread, 2 heims from a local race shop, an S10 tcase shift lever (the one on the tcase, faces opposite direction as the jeeps), angle grinder, and my welder.

Pretty much like this, but slightly different: Redesigning the np231 shift linkage | BS Fabrication. I found in my ZJ that I had to extend the lever on the shifter to get it to work right and not bind as much. To extend it, I just used the original lever off the tcase, and welded it onto the shifters lever. Welded a bolt on each lever, the just adjusted the link and tightened it down. Works great. My tcase is also clocked, for what its worth

I haven't, but some friends have. Not that hard at all.

I assume you have adjusted yours already?

had fun in this little snow storm.. the land rover / jeep / whatever did AWESOME. pushed a girl out of some snow by hand.. then pulled a beamer out of a snowbank.. didnt even tip me.. kinda disrespectful when a tow truck will run you 125.

I have before. Dunno why it popped out this time.

The weird thing is that it doesn't happen all the time. It did it twice this morning, but didn't do it this evening.

I dunno what's going on.

My ZJ did it. Had a broken motor mount
