    That looks good (y). So how do you solve a power steering squeak? You know... asking for a friend... or something.

    After trying to get it ready for Barrett Lake last year I apparently did not tighten the belt enough. I was in a major rush to make the trip. I took care of it this morning, no more squeak/screech.

    Took it for a ride Sat afternoon. Ran straight and seems to have held up well. Only a 4 wheeling trip will tell for sure.
    On that note my wife went with me and complained the entire time about the exhaust smell. I had to put the soft top on when we went to Barrett Lake in Sep/Oct. because of the snow and it is a pain to take off. I need to remove the roof basket to get the top off. As you may know I have been contemplating a sale for quite a while and will be listing this when things get somewhat back to normal. Still trying to decide on a price. I have write up I am going to post in Off Topic for advice/critiques!

    The whole Jeep, pretty sure. Your repair looks solid Jeff! Are u leaning towards a TJ or JK?

    Selling my rig.
    Thanks Ryan
    I'm not sure what I'll get yet. Rode in a Toyota truck the day my frame broke and was very impressed. A newer TJ was with us at Barrett and that was impressive too. I'm more a Jeep guy though so TJ probably. Don't want a 4 door. Would love to get a LJ but way too pricey for me.
