I like Buffalo Wild Wings we usually go to the one on 231 (Babylon)

I never ordered wings from there tho.. usually just chicken sandwich's and salads.. I love their Asian Zing sauce

since its pretty warm out, warmer than its been, ive taken on the task of painting my undercarriage to prevent some more rust. My skids as you can imagine are insanely rusty and mangled.

I first hit the skids with a wire brush, arms are killing me

Then sprayed them with Duplicolor rust to black primer.

Im waiting for that to dry now....then im going to hit it with krylon black

ill put up some pics when its all done

....and the BEST wings are at O'NEILS

Your Sahara probably could run over mine. Also went to 112 today, bailed realizing that its not worth screwing up my top for a mediocre trail that a stock ZJ could run.

Why work so hard? I just use black Rustoleum and spary anything and everything with a scratch. Right over the dirt and all! I keep a can or two in the garage at all times. Looks good and is easy to keep touching up. Prevents rust too.

Saw a Black 2 door with a JK sticker 3 times in Plainview today. Black rims, soft top. Parked on Grohmans, then cruising down old country road and again a few hours later on Plainview road. Anybody from here?

Joe, saw you on 83 heading south today around 4:30ish. Was heading to Popei's Seafood in Coram on Middle Country, good place. Easy to spot that rig.

Brendan, forget the wire brushing. You'll spend DAYS wire brushing dings and scratches. Go over it with Rustoleum primer then flat black. Call it a day.

I was under the JK as well this morning taking a good look at the damage, the Flowmaster muffler got MANGLED and twisted to hell, now I know what the major rattling noise was. It's jammed against the frame. I started spraying all the rust scrapes everywhere, stopped after 20 minutes, doing the rest tomorrow. SOO many spots got hit to hell. Finally mounted the ammo cans in the back of the JK for more storage, easy to get my straps, shackles and rings now plus the other can has Mopar spare parts (small ones, sensors, belt, pulley, u-joints, etc) Need to take a pic...

To everyone who wheels, check your toe at all times after wheeling. My tie rod is bent and had toe-in at +/- 5/16". Set it at +/- 1/8" a couple of wheeling trips ago. Had to reset it to +/- 1/16" toe-in, feels WAY better.
