If you wanted to get together I could use the extra help one weekend. Then maybe we could head out to the river road and do some exploring/wheeling.
Alright, just let me know what weekend you want to try. I work at least one every weekend, but I will come help out if I get the day off. I ordered the IPF H4 headlight conversion and figured i order the wheel spacers while i was at it, that way i have them here and ready to go, just in case i stubble across a set of 35's locally.

Also, just wanted to say, if you need to order stuff, Northridge4x4 was great to deal with, i called them and placed the order over the phone and they are shipping the stuff straight here and they didn't hike up the shipping rate like another forum sponsor did. In fact, they even quoted me a really good shipped price for a lift kit... now i cant wait for tax season to come and go.

Just checked my schedule, i will be off this coming Sat and work Sun. Not sure how the weekend after that will be yet, haven't figured out Feb's schedule.

I made it up to AnyShop 4x4 today. There was about 8 Jeeps there. One JK on a lift getting a 1.5" lift and one JKU getting new exhaust. I looked around their shop, they didn't really speak much English, so they just gave me a cup of coffee and let me wonder around the shop. I did spend some time talking to the Korean guy that was getting the 1.5" lift. They dont really stock much, but can order and install just about anything. The only thing they really had there was a few winches. They can get BFG and Mickey Thompson tires local but they aren't any cheaper than ordering online. The BFG KM2 285/70/17 was 400,000 won each and the Mickey's were 500,000 won.

It would be nice to see some pics of the area you guys are at and some wheeling. Hell throw some pics of the border up, that would be worth it just dont get shot in the process.

I would say about 2/3's of them were Korean (civilian) and everyone else was military related (active duty, civilians and retirees).
