ITs her 1st 4X4 trip!!!

[Real Big Stache]

And i have a lot ridding on her. I'm so proud of her and have been talking her up so much. I believe in her but i just want to be 100% ready to take on the trails. I just had the oil changed, had her tuned up w a new carb, installed a fuel filter, and thats about it! She runs good but not great. I'm thinking maybe checking or changing out the tranny and rear end. The PO had her sitting around outside for 2-3 years.

What would be a good checklist for an EB going on her first off road trip? I need her to perform for me! Anything would help out a lot. Thanks!

make sure everything is right with the radiator, wheeling can heat things up fast. then make sure you have plenty of dr pepper in the ice chest. good luck!

Check the U joints, if they have greseable fittings greese them. check all your diff, trans, eng, fluids, spare tire. thats about all I can think of for now.

About a year ago someone posted a couple good checklists. One was for truck prep and this was the other. I guess I didn't save the first one. I searched but couldn't find it.

Thanks for making me find those Viper. Those are good lists I hadn't seen before.

Had to cut the 4x4 trip short due to a back tire blow out on the freeway. My tire pressure was fine but its my fault for not noticing that the PO's tires were in pretty bad shape. I should have got new ones. What an IDIOT!! They were sitting around for 2-3 years. The shrapnel from the tire was so bad it swang around and took out my tailight! Fender flares are beat up pretty bad too. I was with 3 of my pals who were all driving jeeps too. Kinda feel like i let the EB owners down.

Nothing worse than breaking down in front of the jeep crowd.
