| Best Rust Penetration Study |
 Received an email from Marcus at http://go.jeep- xj.info:
"This information comes from another group but thought it was worth putting up here as well.
Machinist's Workshop magazine tested penetrants for break out torque on rusted nuts. They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically rusted" environment. The results are as follows;
Penetrating oil..... Average load
None ............ ......516 pounds
WD-40 ............ ....238 pounds
PB Blaster ............ 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ..... 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............ 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix....53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50-50 automatic transmission fluid and acetone.

The Photo Gallery was not working correctly. This was due to our web host moving our account to a different web server. We have resolved the issue and you should be able to view the gallery again.

| DieselPower covers a 2.8 CRD Engine Swap into XJ |
DieselPower now has an article that covers a diesel conversion in an XJ using a 2.8L CRD from a Jeep Liberty. They include some nice photos of the swap including some beefy custom motor mounts and the result of the engine bay appearance. Unfortunately, they do not cover enough technical information but atleast it gives you a visual idea.

| Petition to Save Johnson Valley |
 From an email:
As many of you know, Johnson Valley OHV is being seriously considered by the US Marine Corps as their new training area. The public scoping meetings and studies have been completed. The Public Comment period ends on January 31st, 2009.
Five of the options that were offered took all or a portion of Johnson Valley , the sixth was to do nothing at all (which is unlikely)
It is imperative that you read and sign, including your email and mailing addresses. Upon the end of the comment period, this petition will be submitted initially to the Marines, and then we will forward the signatures and addresses to each local legislator.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS LINK TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW WITH AN INTEREST IN SAVING OUR PUBLIC LANDS.

| PFJV Hosts Meeting with JV businesses and Military Reps |
Jan 12, 2009
Partnership For Johnson Valley hosts meeting with local businesses and Military representatives from Twentynine Palms
What was to be a routine meeting to discuss the proposed expansion of the Twentynine Palms MCAGCC chaired by Harry Baker turned into an emotional discussion about the economic impacts the military's proposed expansion would have in Lucerne, Johnson, Yucca Valley and surrounding communities if tourism was removed from the region.
"This is a Route 66 scenario" said one of the business owners concerned about local impacts on tourism that could turn our communities into ghost towns.
Ed Waldheim, President of the California Trail Users Coalition and a Director of the Partnership, was visibly shaken and genuinely concerned that the emotion of these local retailers could never be channeled through typical scoping methods. Range Expansion Program Manager Joe Ross, assured us he would relay this overwhelming concern demonstrated by local business owners to the upper military brass and that every comment carries weight. He noted that socioeconomics will be one of many important items to be fully analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

| Johnson Valley Trails are in Danger |
We normally try to post only XJ related topics but this is very important for all those who wheel in general. There is a real possibility that we will lose our favorite Johnson Valley trails in California. The government is considering expanding the 29 Palms Marine base by claiming most of Johnson Valley.
As part of the effort to fight this closure, there is going to be an online rally at Pirate4x4.com to give people the chance to show that they use the area, talk about how we use it, how often we use it, and how important it is to us. The rally will be on Wed, March 12th from 2-6 pm PST. Please post up something during the rally to add to the numbers of people showing support. Here is a link to more detailed info about the rally:

| Team Garry Hall Enters XJ for King of the Hammers |
Team Garry Hall has entered an XJ for the King of the Hammers race for 2008. The XJ labeled as Blue 52 is owned and will be driven by Richard "GoatMan" Gauthier. His co-pilot and navigator is Paul Sinclair.
KOH is the first race of its kind. The event will take place on February 22, 2008, and is a non-spectator event. The event will part rock race, and part desert race. Race teams will start at 30 second intervals from Means Dry Lake bed, and will navigate through the desert on a set race course to their first rock course. As of today, the official course has not been released, and is not going to be released until race week. What we do know is there will be approximately 50-60 miles of desert racing, and approximately 7 Johnson Valley trails (aka: Hammer Trails - Sledgehammer, Jackhammer, Wrecking Ball, etc) to make up the course.
More info about the XJ (#52) is posted at NAXJA.org
More info and live race coverage is available at Pirate4x4.com.
UPDATE!
Goatman and Paul have physically finished in 6th place but for actual position based on time, it's currently looking like 7th place.
Congratulations!!!
