That would be great if you can find some old movies or even still pictures of what the place looked like back in its heyday. It clearly had a lot of work put into it at one time. Interesting place.

We will be back every October to do this maintenance clean up to preserve the site. Just keep up with the Heartland Trail Trash page on Facebook to see projects coming down the pipe!

I'm really interested in the history of the Spring and Homestead, if you have any you care to share I'd love to talk!

Definitely can, to keep up with the plans, look into the Heartland Trail Trash page on Facebook, I'd really like to do a rough history video on the site in the future.. Really I could plan for that before the next clean up..

@chriskneibert were glad this is getting some attention, it's such a great little spot to chill. The spring. The bridge. The foundations. I find it to be a very peaceful place

Really the history I know.. the first recorded ownership of the land was in 1856 to a Jesse Criddle, apart of 320 acre plot. Then Dr Fred Kneibert was born in 1903, and acquired it in his lifetime, the Mark Twain Heritage team thinks the homestead was build in the 1930s, so that would align with Dr Kneibert's age of going to school and ending back in Poplar Bluff area in 1928 to take on Brandon Hospital, and get married in September of the same year. He owned the property up until the 1968 when the USFS acquired the land, not sure why/how they acquired it.

​@@YourFriendStChris Thanks for that info. It looks like a special place and it's great that there are people interested in cleaning it up and preserving what remains.

It's a nice little town that is trying to become the better fresher version of its former self.

@@jeffreyulrich3592 I do miss the trees along this road, and the much narrower road, there was also the quick up and down elevation change on a turn that used to exist right at Kensington Lane. It is much smoother to drive on now, but doesn't seem to live up to the old title of most haunted road in Cape.

@@jeffreyulrich3592 Glad you appreciated what I'm doing with these videos, It's for the past present and future in one video.

​@@YourFriendStChrisYou're doing great work. Keep it up. I wish you could've gotten some footage of Snake Hill before they straighten the road out, but that happened a bit too early to be on YT videos unless someone has some old home movies of it.

@@jeffreyulrich3592 Technology has came a long way since that time.

@@jeffreyulrich3592 I'll have a video of downtown (Main Street and Broadway) coming soon, just posted one of Siemers Drive too.

@@sixstringsofsam What I do know for sure, in buffered mode engaged, you can do a spill over setting for bypass on/off, but from what I hear when I change presets it immediately changes, so no, but I can confirm next time I pull my board out.

@@jeremysales1232 not simply put, from the guy that has owned this one for a decade, early on I cleaned and painted the undercarriage of my jeep with Rust reformer and then flat black rustoleum on top of that, and it has held up great, the one thing I didn't do was the inner rockers, and a north east snowstorm was the beginning of them rusting out, I repaired and replaced what needed to be done and then I treated the rest of them by cleaning them out and putting a fresh coat of POR15 where I could, but I've also witnessed POR 15 fail because it is not UV rated, and it will peel with time. Granted, spray paint will fade with time if it is exposed to wind and loose terrain or dust, but on the inside of the rocker, this is less of an issue for both the POR 15 and the spray paint, but both work if you're Rust hasn't reached flaking off stages and my rockers were still in good shape elsewhere that I left, so it should do the trick for the next decade, after that this XJ will probably get turned into the next version of itself, and the rockers will probably be gone. My question to you is how do you get POR 15 into the inside of a rocker that still closed, can it be sprayed in a similar fashion?

@@jeremysales1232 I should also add that I pulled the interior carpet out 7ish years ago and took care of the surface rust that was starting in the cab and sprayed them down, about seven months ago I had to pull the carpet from Water/mud getting in, and all my surface rust correction still looked fantastic.

Let me look into the DAD configuration site, I have since updated to newer beta version of the firmware for this, and I'm not positive this old video will work as well as it did the year I filmed it. I can still look into it, what firmware is on your Midi Baby 3?

Sorry for the slow response. I got a lot going on at the moment.

@@YourFriendStChris All good, I know how it goes. My Midi Baby 3 is on Firmware 11.

So if it doesn't leak, is it not necessary? Phew.. I always wondered, I just relied on, if it's working, it must be done somewhat right.

@YourFriendStChris that's correct if it's not leaking it doesn't need it they were never but in on the assembly line they were put in by qa at the end of the line or at dealer if it leaked

@@jeremyhanna3852 Thanks for your input!

Thanks for the kind words, I just try to help where I can!

5/16" by 18 thread, 1/2 in head.

Your the man!!

How long?

@NorEastBeast It's my go-to size for a lot of things. The pucks have held up well thus far, 1.5" long will get you taken care of.

I’m at the hardware store now and you answered in a heart beat. I am now your biggest fan brother. Subbed and liked! PS. Last question. I don’t have a drill press or advice. What would you suggest the best way to drill the center of the puck?

Now that is just plain stupid and greedy.

Yes it did!

Glad to help! As long as you got a year specific part for that 95, You should be good to go for a while, they are just a slightly different part for the 91-96.

Since this video my trans has not leaked. So I guess it's withstood the test of time, and I don't baby my Jeep around. I know you don't know me well enough to know how serious I take this, but I wouldn't have posted this up had it start leaking.

thanks Chris-I was hoping that all went good-you never told me if you felt a click or snap when pushing the line back in?-just a bit of reassurance to know that its in for sure-keep up the good videos-and thanks for being my Friend 👍

There was a defined seating of the clip, might make a click but probably not, but it should not allow the line to come back when tugged on.

It felt obvious that it was in there from memory, the clip expanded as it falls into the track it rests in.

I take it that you haven't done a complete line as of yet?-fingers crossed

It's 30.6" tire, 265/70r16, on a 2.25" front lift, and a well wore in 2-3" lift in the rear, about to put a new BDS Suspensions helper spring / add a leaf back there.

I know my main ground is bad so I’ll do that first. But I do need to check all that stuff. But could it be the cps too?

@@shimani141 I could be a number of things, fix the ground first, if it is still happening, It is probably the Crank Pos Sensor or Camshaft Pos Sensor / Pick Up Coil Sensor, but could be a fuel pump, or other throttle body sensor. I have another video where I track down the problem of a Failing Crank Pos Sensor on my 99. It's here: Crank No Start and Wiring Woes 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ th-cam.com/video/y4M-BZs47kU/w-d-xo.html

Mark Twain has 7 different "units" the closest to you is Poplar Bluff and Doniphan Unit, featuring towns such as Van Buren, Winona, Hunter, Williamsville, Greenville, all have Forest Routes, I know there is hidden gems all through them, especially if you just want to mainly camp, and a lot closer to you than Glade Top is, for actual offroading, I would suggest Fredericktown Unit, it has the best bang for the buck and is much closer to you than Glade Top.

Another spot to look up for your location, would be Land Between the Lakes, and the offroading area within LBL, Turkey Bay OHV park. OnX Offroad App, has all my documented trails for all the area I have mentioned in these two comments, well worth the $35 a year to see where you can go and what you can expect out there. I try to give really good details on what I put in the app! Let me know if you have any other questions.

No problem! I've documented most of the trails I know in the OnX Offroad app, if you want to see more, check it out here: onxoffroad.app.link/7oOfxouNWEb I've documented a lot in SEMO. Coming back to Glade Top on Saturday.

I actually have more videos on it if you search my channel. I made it work with a Wampler Terraform at the same time. Now I'm trying to figure out how the get the new Beta update to work with both pedals again. it's a little less functional at this point, but I'll figure it out!

Oh yes! Over by Garden of the Gods? Well it's probably like 10 miles to the west of there, but none the less close..

I've found like 5 of them over here in Missouri that you can still climb to the top, including this one.. th-cam.com/video/9bXZJKMShTk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wuyV82MEQhJ8vTpo

I'm on 2.25" in the front, sway bar disconnected with the JKS ACOS coil over system and some hockey puck bump stops, rear is just shackled and add a leafed up to 2-2.5", with 30.6" tires, and it does great in Mark Twain NF.

from all the videos I saw no one seemed to worry about much more than cleaning it, so I just went the same route. What primer would be best?

Appreciate it! Thanks for commenting man, it helps get more exposure for my videos..

Yep, last year, it was a part year of distributor and then coil. Mine is a early 99, built in 8/98.

They have coil packs

@@nathansmith8969 But they also don't.

Damn man
