[TwoToneX]

John - Yeah, hopefully she'll be ready for some tough stuff I'm finishing up finals right now (done on thursday, lift goes on starting sat.), so it's not too bad. I'm just in "__ days till Moab" mode right now

 

[RockRanger]

From the sounds of it it looks like we will be having a well built group showing up. Cant wait to meet more people from this board. Everyone so far has been great and cant wait to meet more.


Hey Ray,

Hmm. . I've only got to get an Atlas II installed, get new driveshaft(s), and pray that my powertrax front locker gets here before the 28th (they're back-ordered a month right now )

I can't wait!

Matt,
You're welcome to caravan with my brother and I. I'm planning on getting in to Moab early evening on Thurs.

I am working on a set of rock sliders and the lift will have to wait untill RCD's coil-over kit comes out, so I will be a low rider this year.

Doh totally forgot that you were going as well from so cal. When Are you planning on leaving? I am thinking of eather leaving crack of dawn thursday morning and drive strait there, or leave wed evening and hit the desert at night so it is a bit cooler and get to moab early thursday afternoon and crashout. I guess it will kind of depend on what my dad wants to do cause he is coming along. Kinda worried about hitting all those desert miles with no Ac in the truck and it likes to overheat when it is warm outside. Hopefully I will halfdoors by then so I will get a nice cross breeze through the cab Let me know your plans. Not sure how much you will want to hang with me. truck is a bit slow when i hit the grades.

Great, there's ANOTHER thing you reminded me that I have to do.

BTW, I tried calling that place yesterday and no one was there, and ran out of time today. I'm gonna get my Dad to call tomorrow because I'm in the middle of finals. I'll let ya know...


I need to buy gears too. I'll prolly end up buying those tomorrow and seeing how fast they can ship them here. Speaking of, does anyone know where I can get them aside from Randy's Ring and Pinion? I know they're a great place and all, but when I called, I had a hellish time with one of their reps and would prefer going somewhere else.
