Most embarrassing off road moment Listener Feedback: Send us your questions and comments!!! podcast@highsierra4x4.com Hey guys, Just wanted to take a minute and say thanks for being so diligent with the twice a week podcasts. I have a 2015 jku that I'm building/saving to build and it's great to be able to tune in and get educated before dropping that kind of coin. I also wanted to rag on Greg a little bit because it cracks me up how much he says, "and all that fun stuff" and "quote unquote"! I think Jeff and Forest should have a clicker or something to keep track of how many times an episode, and Greg should have to pay a nickel for every one. Not sure what you guys would do with the boat loads of change, but if you can't think of anything I'd be happy to put it towards my build lol. Anyway just wanted check in, I'm a first time emailer. Thanks again, I really enjoy the podcast and the addition of Forrest, keep up the good work! Hope to see you guys at an event sometime! -Jason from Portland 2015 willys jku Thread of the Week Steering Questions Events and Happenings: Moonlight Madness poker run Weekend of june 24, 25 and 26 2016 Outro: HIGHSIERRA4X4 - 10% off and free shipping on orders over $70 to the lower 48 podcast@highsierra4x4.com www.highsierra4x4com/podcast www.facebook.com/highsierra4x4 www.highsierra4x4.com

    Episode 113 - Racing on a Budget What’s up everyone, welcome to the High Sierra 4x4 Podcast!! This is the best off road podcast on the internet!! I’m your host Greg Bakken and hanging out with me today is the awe inspiring fullsize guy Jeff Bakken and the mini me Forrest we are here to share our passion for off roading with you!! Episode 113!!

What's up Jeff? What’s up Forrest? What’s up Greg? Announcements: Main Topic: Racecar on a budget Want to race in the limited classes of ULTRA4 Racing? Smittybilt Everyman Challenge and 4500-4800 races throughout the season are our limited classes! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help make it happen! 1.Make sure your vehicle meets our tech rules and you have proper safety equipment. There are three classes racing in the EMC which runs on a modified course the day before KOH itself. Classes are Stock (4600), Modified (4500) and Legend (4800). You do not need to pre-qualify for the EMC but your vehicle must meet the tech and safety requirements outlined here: http://ultra4racing.com/racers/rulebook/. See Section 6.3 for Stock, Section 6.4 for Modified, and Section 6.4.11 for Legend. 2. Create a driver profile at www.ultra4racing.com/races and register. You have a couple of options when registering for the race, specifically whether to commit to signing up for an entire Regional Series as well as KOH or not. If you choose to sign up for a Series as well as KOH, you will receive significant savings throughout the year compared to those who enter race by race. See the race entry pages for more information. The race registration process is straight forward, but should you get stuck, we have created these step-by-step registration instructions. If you already registered to race with ULTRA4 before, please use the same login and password. If you have any questions registering, please email Shannon Welch at Shannon@ultra4racing.com 3. Pay for your race The address to send checks to and online payment options are all available once you have registered online and signed up for the event. 4. Sign up for USAC Insurance All drivers and co-drivers MUST have either annual or single use USAC insurance purchased. Pre-purchasing your USAC insurance online saves tons of time on site. Costs are still being determined and will be emailed to already registered drivers once they are known. 5. Be prepared for additional mandatory costs At KOH there will be additional mandatory costs (including USAC insurance mentioned above) including but not limited to: IRC trackers, pit crew bands, tech fee (included in an annual USAC membership, or charged separate if not paying for an annual USAC membership). Payment and pricing for these costs will be emailed to you as they are known. 6. Show up and race! See you soon. Pending you had a 10K budget, how would you build your rig?

Announcements: Main Topic: Wearable Parts Jeff and I have always preached maintenance for your rig. Well, what does that mean? What needs maintaining? What are parts that will last a long time, but need attention every once in awhile vs a part that might need maintenance once a year? What do I need to monitor on my rig? Jeff seems to have had some serious issues that he has discovered. Luckily he found them before the where major problems. Budgeting for rebuilds and repairs? Sounds like Jeff needs to upgrade to a HP Dana 70 front or build a custom 14 bolt front. What brand gears is he running that he keeps chipping teeth off of? Listener Feedback: Send us your questions and comments!!! podcast@highsierra4x4.com Hi guys love the show and the addition of Forrest hope everything's going great. I particularly loved the episodes you did on overlanding and off-road trailers. Would love to hear more content on overlanding in general. Have you guys thought about an episode on roof top tents? I'm in the market right now and have been considering the local brands like CVT and Tepui. Any suggestions? Do you guys run a RTT? Thanks again keep up the great work. Nick K. Thread of the Week Rattling sound from my jeep! my 2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited started making this rattling sound a few days ago. The sound reminds me of a baseball card on a bike spoke. The first day the sound started in was only when pressing the accelerator and now 2 days later it's only when idling. i haven't got to do much investigating yet to attempt to find out where exactly the sound is coming from but I'm doing that tomorrow morning. I am pretty much clueless when it comes to automotive stuff but I'd really like to change that. Anyone had something similar happen and maybe have some advice?

What's up Jeff? What’s up Forrest? What’s up Greg? CB Installed, thanks Jeff. Tuning it? Hate Mail!! Sorry to break your hearts, but this really isn't hate mail - just having some fun and busting your chops. I listen to your podcast on my phone using Stitcher. I really enjoy listening to you guys. I wanted to shoot you an e-mail and add to the automatic transmission conversation. One thing you guys didn't touch on is how the first gear in an automatic really isn't fixed. For example the JK's WA580 (also known as the NAG1) automatic has a 3.59 first gear ratio. However, the effective first gear ratio is actually between 6.46 and 8.97 because of the viscous coupling of the torque converter. The only time the stated gear ratio on an automatic holds true is when the converter is in lock up. There is some good reading in the below link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_converter One last thing. If I remember correctly, I think Jeff kept saying automatics had belts in them. This is not correct, I believe the word Jeff really meant was bands. Old automatics did use bands with friction pads. The new automatics like the WA580 do not use bands. They are hydraulically actuated and use electronically controlled solenoids for their operation. Regards, John Announcements: Main Topic: Transfer Case Well, if you’re into four wheeling at all, at some point, you’ve thought about your transfer case. What does it do? How does it do it? What’s the benefit of upgrading your transfer case? What kind of upgrades should I do? Gearing? What’s a doubler or dual cases? Is there a difference? When should I gear vs dual cases? How about an aftermarket transfer case? What does twin stick mean? Listener Feedback: Send us your questions and comments!!! podcast@highsierra4x4.com Important to note that NV gear is out of business. As the 3500 becomes harder to find used the similarly rated AX15 is still available new. Other than the early jeep and bronco 4 speeds I think you covered the big manuals to be worried about. As to auto's I think the popular Jeep slush-boxes being the AW4, 32RH and 42RLEs deserve mention. AW4 was found in XJ cherokees with the 4.0L engine. Great transmission if you keep it cool. Not as efficient as modern units but it was also used in v8 landcrusers so it somewhat underrated behind the 4.0. Add a transmission cooler and they last 200k miles. Jeepspeed guys thrash these things so there is decent aftermarket support for them. 32RH was a 3 speed unit found in early 4.0L TJs. Durable transmission based on the 1970s 3 speeds that sat behind V8s. Lack of an overdrive hurts dual purpose rigs on the highway. Dead simple hydraulically controlled auto is great for dedicated trail rigs and no computer to worry about. 42RLE was a 4 speed unit found in ZJs, later TJs, and 3.8 JKs. Generally regarded as a "meh" transmission. Odd shifting and so-so reliability. One place manuals have a distinct advantage is deeper snow wheeling. Auto's will build heat at slow speeds where a manual has no slipping to generate heat and no cooler that can get airflow blocked by packed snow. Manuals have a disadvantage in terms of stress on the rest of the drivetrain. An auto will reduce shock loads to the drivetrain as the transmission is an indirect link at low speeds. Autos generally wont notice slop in the drivetrain like a manual will pronounce. Kris
