p.s. reason I thinking wheep hole, is that when the seal starts to go it can start to leak. But seals can re-close as well. Where as a gasket useually started to leak it keep leaking.

yeah i'm pretty sure its the wheep hole.it seems to be coming from the passanger side of the water pump.its not coming from the hose on that side and it doesn't start high enough to be from the bypass or the one on the driverside.


i drove it sunday night and a few times on monday and it was bone dry this morning but i came home from work about an hour ago and it has started leaking again.maybe i should just drive it more,haha.

Do you ever get up to Beartooth pass? Not any challenging Jeep trails I'm aware of but some of the best backcountry snowboard/sking I've ever done.

Depending on when the pass opens we usually get down there in late may or june.

The first place that comes to mind near Bozeman is the Willow creek drainages on the northeast side of the Tobacco Root mts. A couple of trails climb up into the Alpine zones. Not very tough trails but very scenic. Add some snow and they can become very challenging.

I haven't been there in a long time, I hope the trails are still open.

^ i was wondering the same thing.i haven't done anthing more than a little mudding since it got the jeep and i can't seem to find any good spots.i was up in johnson canyon and i saw some trails leading off the main road but i was still stock so i didn't go very far and i haven't made it back to check 'em out.there were a bunch of people up there with quads so i'm assuming its mostly quad trails farther back.

In your neck of the woods, we wheel along the Stryker powerlines.

Down here, our ORV club (Big Sky 4 Wheelers) has worked with the Skyliners out of Polson, and we've done a bunch of work to the Blacktail/Wild Bill ORV Trails---with Forest Service permission, of course!

BF Goodrich and Tread Lightly recognized the Blacktail Trails as an outstanding trail this year, and presented the Skyliners with a grant to help with trail maintenance and such.

If you haven't been down to Blacktail/Wild Bill, you really need to!

I'm still trying to finish up my axle swap---I have the Scout rear 44 in, and the narrowed Waggy front 44 is in place but not bolted up yet. I just bought some Bushwacker flares, so those are waiting to go on as well.

But now it's hunting season, so my spare time is even less HAHA

I'll post pics when I'm all done.

have you welded much before?
if not i would start with sliders... seems like a good place to cut your teeth
then if you think you need more work before you start bumpers you can weld me up some sliders too...
AND if you still dont think your ready for your own bumper, you can fab up some bumpers for me...

only sort of joking
