Did you throw your cell phone out the window of a fast moving truck again??
Called you a few times, no answer...
(If all goes well I will be home in less than 2 weeks)
This surprises you? I thought that I was bad about not answering phones, I gave up even trying to call GOAT and just PM him here instead.

Just go, and have a blast. Probably 80% of the trails there are completely doable with most 4x4's. Just be a little bit careful which ones you choose. Also beware, you're almost guaranteed to be hooked, and will then need to make return 600 mile trips regularly.
Alrighty...... just hafta to get the driveability shizzle nailed down, and be on the lookout for a red Bronc with white and blue stripes.
Oh, and this friggin snow has to quit so I can make some money....

The only time you can get him is the drive to or home from his work. I was behind him for a mile and it took 3 calls in a row to get him. By the way sweet axle rack there, does a good job of holding up your wall

We are thinking about going not sure yet not really into the crowds and mess with the police.
You need to send us some pics of your projects. Sorry about the YJ project.
I'll start some threads with pics in the next couple of days on the buildups that are in my shop.
And I have done too many YJ's in the shop, but i have been scrapping the frame and going from the ground up on them so it has been interesting. but the mogs are a real pain in the butt. "advice- stay away from mog axles with a long pinion wheelbase and drivelines are hell". but of course you know that dont you Bart, I seem to remember a cirtain few(many) times that the old mog portals blew up on you.
Oh yea there are some current pics on stumphoffroad.com
Nice looking work there Dallas.
Yes, it was the Mogs I was feeling sorry about, not the YJ. For some reason this came to my mind.

So how are those projects coming...
as soon as it warms up (around the end of feb.) the sami will be getting the YJ spring swap, and bumpers, and the LEDs in, and maybe a cage, depending on $$$, since I also need to be saving up for the trip down/trails/etc.:greg:

So how are those projects coming...
The project is comin'! Got a little done yesterday, today was a sick day for Russ, Ian, and my whole family. I spent it downstairs installing light switches. Stupid special order double 3-way switches had a break tab I was supposed to remove to use them on separate circuits, I got shocked about 7 times and removed them and took one apart before I figure out the problem. My buddy dropped off two 6-packs of a top secret new blend for Ian. My wife put the bottles on the floor in the pantry...luckily I saw them and put them out to chill in the garage.
Back to the jeep...Bart taunted me at lunch yesterday that his buggy would be done before teh Green...so last night I got the Tacoma bracket installed and the map sensor installed. Bought a power steering cooler (tranny cooler for compact car) and installed it under the winch plate. Not a lot of air flow there, but I figure it will still dissipate quite a bit of heat.
Lined up the final location and drilled the holes for the winch plate. Bent up the pass brake line to fit the new brackets. Bought a longer line for the driver side tonight. Still need the clips from Kurt.
I noticed that the oil cooler is loose and needs a mount made. Still need to do the relays and run the wires to the tail lights. Cage and bumper is tacked...needs to be welded. Russ has the bracing for the front spring mounts and bumper tie ins. Mbryson has the rear bumper and rack. I think I found the high dollar bolts I bought for all that. I guess we still need to figure out how to mount the rack to the tire carrier and tie in to the cage.
I'd like to get it fired up soon so I can go get an exhaust on it...and find out how hot it runs...and if I need an alternator upgrade...
Hopefully we can get the cage propped up on Saturday and weld it up.
