"If you have the schedule flexibility for tomorrow, Tom and I are visiting some "up north" trails - Old Flowers Road (and perhaps one or two others, TBD)."
Thanks Jim and Tom, I wish I could have made it! YJ is actually in the shop getting a whole new LuK clutch kit in. I wanted to do the job myself, but I live in an apartment (not by choice, I'm engaged...) so the maintenance I can do is limited without taking up a friend's garage/renting a trans jack. I *have* been able to do an oil change, trans fluid change, brakes/rotors, rear diff fluid change, transfer case fluid change, install a radio, and a few other little projects, so I figured one trip to the transmission shop isn't bad.

It's a 4cyl with the 5 speed and 179k miles. I bought it off an older lady who had it for 25 years. She took very good care of it over the course of it's life, although it was pretty neglected for the past 4 years as she had gotten a new car (one with a/c...)

"the side-step/running board is not YJ....."
That would make sense as the running boards are all jacked up/not connected properly and have cracks as a result. I'm 6'3", I think I might just ditch them
