Some changes are about to occur

The truck I've been using to tow my 6x12 car trailer has discontinued it's ability to reliably pull my trailer.  It's most likely a transmission component called a Torque Converter.  If it sounds expensive to pay someone to fix, that's because it is.

Thankfully, I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee (XJ) that has been put out to pasture.  It still runs and will become my transportation for now.  I plan to pull a smaller trailer to carry things in, and car-camp in a tent.  I will also setup the Cherokee so that Lacy and I can sleep in the back if the weather gets crazy.

I have been wanting to drive my Jeep in some of the places I've been, so I'm in luck.
I had a rebuilt engine installed about 40k miles ago.  It has a 3" lift on it, and some pretty new off-road tires.

So, the last month or so, I've been hunkering down at my friend Weldon's property and getting ready to make the necessary changes.
