Woke up this morning to a cold house and found that the bearing on the draft inducer blower on my furnace had seized. Does anybody know where I could possibly get a replacement part this weekend? I lubricated the bearing and got it spinning again but am heading out of town for work early Monday...

I have been carrying a Kershaw Leek for the past couple of years and have been very happy with it. I just recently picked up a CRKT Pilar as well.

I have a friend that is interested. Sent you a PM.

My current XJ is my first 4x4. I bought it completely stock in May 2017. Here is a pic of when I first brought it home and what it looks like now.

Looks like these are an Idaho thing and having lived my whole life until 5 years ago on the east coast I have never heard of them. I now need to get me some finger steaks!

You gotta give us more info than that!

Epilogue With the XJ at home in the garage I continued my troubleshooting work. I got a fuel pressure gauge and confirmed I had good fuel pressure. I checked the compression and all cylinders were within spec. I fished the CPS bolt our of the bell housing and got the new CPS installed. Finally...

DAY 7 We spend the day relaxing at Kevin's waiting for my brother who had to work in the morning before he could leave to come get us. With everything arranged to get us home I had no desire to try to continue troubleshooting the XJ. Saphire and Copper spent the day playing. My brother...

DAY 6 (New Years Day) I woke up the next morning when NAPA opened and continued trying to troubleshoot. I had drained the battery the night before so took that into NAPA to charge. While I waited I bought spark plug socket and started checking those but didn't find anything abnormal. Norelle...

...DAY 5 continued As we continued east across the park we were halfway up the 5k foot pass between Panamint Valley and Death Valley when the XJ stuttered once and shut off. Luckily it happened right as we passed a pull-off so I pulled over and started trying to figure out what happened. The...

...DAY 5 Continued We had some amazing views of the valley and the Sierra Nevadas as we drove back down the mountain. A side road that looked like it went up to some mines caught my eye so we headed up to investigate. We found a mine that was once fenced off but the fencing had been...

DAY 5 (New Years Eve) We woke up and decided that we would head back into Death Valley to check out the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes (these are where the Tatooine scenes in Star Wars were filmed) and then continue east into Nevada to camp for the night and then head back home on New Years Day. As...

DAY 4 We woke up, packed up and filled the XJ from our gas cans. When we headed out we decided to try to make it out the north pass because we had heard reports that other vehicles had made it out. Being in the XJ and having chains plus 4 traction boards and a shovel I wasn't too worried...

DAY 3 We woke up in the morning and this is what we saw. The springs created an oasis where palm trees had been planted. This is the less pretty back side where the caretaker that lives there had a permanent camp set up. We asked around to find out exactly how far it was from the hot springs...

...DAY 2 continued again The views in the valley were just as amazing. We headed north toward the hot springs and passed a salt lake and some mining ruins that we stopped to check out. We arrived at the hot springs after dark, set up camp and went to sleep looking forward to the...

Thanks! I love the look also. I was skeptical at first since I really wanted black 15" wheels. When I posted here in RME looking for suggestions on wheels and tires multiple people recommended the Rubicon takes offs. I'm glad I went with them because they saved a lot of money and look awesome.

...DAY 2 continued We continued on past the playa and stopped for lunch at the beginning of Lipencott Road that takes you through a pass down into Saline Valley. We had heard of some semi-developed hot springs in Saline Valley that were there before that area was added to the park and operated...

DAY 2 We woke up and loaded the XJ back up at a leisurely pace. This is vacation and without any real plans we were free to take our time and enjoy the morning. Once we were all loaded up we continued the drive to The Racetrack. The road had some snow on it but it was packed by other...

DAY 1 The next morning we woke up early and finished the drive. I had read that gas could be extremely expensive around the park so we stopped in Pahrump, NV to fill up the gas cans. I read that it recently snowed at higher elevations in the park and saw on a map that some roads required you to...
