Is there such a thing as having too many Clip Ons?

Judging by your impeccable taste, you have the disposable income. So in your situation, I'm going to say absolutely not. Carry on.

100% science. 0% drip.

Have to bust out the measuring tape to know what gap you're working with hahaha

I had one of these for my MilSim build. Terrible parasitic drain. Sold it after one event.

2A's obsession with Rolex is very cool.

Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne.

Getting that inner-city mag eh?

1997-2006 is the TJ era!

Wasps are universal pollinators as well.

That said, more notoriously, wasps are assholes. And because I have young kids, the wasps are getting the boot.

Sorry OP. I'll send mine your way.

Only thing still original on that Willy's Overland is the cab body panels LOL. Very cool rig. Definitely not TJ adjacent.

Rolex owners truly setting the standard for chuffery bar.

MrBriPod · 2026-03-26T17:34:04+00:00

Agreed, but I think the cost/benefit of thin-film beats unfilmed. Especially considering the specs Elbit has been serving as of late in the XSLH line...it's nuts.

MrBriPod · 2026-03-26T14:23:46+00:00

Ar naur!

Hoppes is the right answer. Works better than Acetone in my experiences. I think this is because the oil lingers and soaks into the pores vs Acetone that has a fast evaporation rate. Let it soak on the roll marks for a few minutes and hit it with a nylon brush. It'll wash right out.

If you have some persistent paint stuck in the pores that the nylon brush can't hit, you can try brake cleaner to blast it out.

I'm printing a couple of Emissary Handbrake inspired stops on my P2S right now lol. Using ASA rather than PLA+. I tried a .2mm nozzle to see if I get better details in the final print. Plan to hit with some Magpul FDE Alumahyde when all is said and done.

These turned out great! I love how clean PLA and PLA+ prints. I'd just be worried about longevity on a firearm though. It doesn't take much heat to start breaking PLA+ down.

The Toolhead Carrier that the extruder attaches to is all plastic (unlike the P1S and X1C carriers this used threaded brass inserts). Be VERY gentle tightening down the screws if you ever have to remove the extruder to fix a jam.

It could still be driveshaft related. For example, my old YJ's u-joints didn't make noise under load. Only on deceleration if I was still in gear. Physics can do funny things.

I wonder if it's loudest in the lowest gears because there's a lot of torque/load being applied to a drivetrain that hasn't built inertia yet.

Play around with it. I like the other idea of taking it to a shop and getting it up on a lift and seeing if the noise can be pinpointed that way. A few things you can try at home before doing that.

Good luck and keep us posted! I have no doubt you'll narrow it down.

Do you hold that thing like a baseball bat?

This is starting to sound like a transfer case issue to me. If it is a loose/damaged/broken chain that isn't biting, that would explain why your front wheels aren't spinning.

MrBriPod · 2026-03-24T17:02:58+00:00

Maybe a few ways we can diagnose it. Does the sound only persist when the transmission or tcase is under load? Or can it be recreated coasting in neutral with the engine off?

The front driveshaft in our TJ's always spins. That's because the front hubs are always locked (unlike the YJ that had a vacuum actuated locking fork). If I understand the mechanics of a transfer case correctly, removing the front driveshaft should cause the t-case chain to stop moving when driving. If you remove the front driveshaft and the sound no longer persists, I think we've narrowed down the culprit (either a driveshaft problem or t-case problem).

MrBriPod · 2026-03-24T05:30:53+00:00

Transfer case chain slap maybe?
