morning. Coffee I bet 2 almost down range. Ended up ordering that iPhone 12 mini and changed my data plan to get the 12G of data for $50. Now need to look for a life proof case. Without needing to give up one of my kids for shipping it to Canada. ( life proof charges $20 USD just in shipping north of the border)

How do you guys not have unlimited data? I pay for 4 lines of unlimited for $50 each/mo.

Make a unistrut bracket for the roof rack.
I have a Gobi rack, so I could just put it up there but I don’t want it horizontal. One of the reasons I got it is we’re doing a cross country trip this summer to Arizona, and I’ll be having to vent it when we change temps/elevation and I don’t want to climb up, unhook, turn it up, vent, and put back every day. I want to just vent and close it and be done in 5 seconds.
If you never plan on a tire carrier bumper that would carry fuel can's then I'd say mount it to the ladder some how since u got a RTT .
My thought was that if I do get a tire carrier, it will block the empty plate anyway so it won’t be visible then either. I thought about the ladder but I want to use that for the trasharoo. We’ll be using a portable toilet and eating on the road and I don’t want all the garbage inside.

My trip got cut short.

As we finished coming down off the mountain, the 77 jeep Cherokee that was leading the trip lost his axle. The rear passenger wheel came off the vehicle with the axle shaft still attached. Not sure what happened honestly. I'm pretty sure the rear diff was dry, as it didn't look like there was any fluid on the shaft.

Goes to show that maintenance is important folks! Just glad it happened on flat ground, and not as we were on the mountain.

Wheel bearing failed probably. That should be a D44 in the rear. I don't think the Wagoneer or Cherokee used the AMC 20 axle.

Many Jeeps, including Cherokees, were equipped with Dana 35 and Chrysler 8.25 axles, both of which used C-clips to retain the axle shaft at the differential. Not sure of the older stuff. That said, if a wheel bearing on a Dana44 got smoked, there’s be nothing holding the shaft inside once the hub said goodbye to the housing.

I bought a blu-ray copy of Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. Because I couldn't find a good copy to download. Best $12 I ever spent.

/if you don't get that reference we can't be friends

C clip axles are not good for wheeling.

Well that was exciting. We were all hanging out downstairs, and the smoke alarms all started going off and wouldn’t reset. The one that went off is a combo alarm that also senses CO. So I checked for smoke. Didn’t find any. But I know enough from my confined space training days that CO is a silent killer and will literally suffocate you from the inside. So we called the fire department, gathered the animals, and waited for them to show up and sniff the air with their meters. Good to go. No CO and no smoke. The lead guy handed me a couple of smoke detectors and suggested I replace them because they are 7 years old and won’t reset. So they are done. Well, better safe than sorry, considering we are still dealing with an $80,000 claim from the wildfire that knocked on the back door last summer. Good dudes those firemen though. Professional and empathetic. My daughter freaked the frick out. My son just kind of followed me and watched. Kid absorbs everything he sees around himself. Hope he learned a few things about remaining calm during moments of uncertainty.

This would have been the old full size Jeep Wagoneer in the 70s. It was made up till 89 or 90 as the Grand Wagoneer after they introduced the XJ Cherokee/Wagoneer in the mid 80s.

No they certainly are not.

Y'all say this but so far I've seen more bearing retained axles have wheels walk out than c-clip axles... And I wheeled a 12b GM with a mini-spool for several years.

Damn. The ones I just got will tell you which one triggered, but they're pricy
