Casey, you know as well as I do that these front ends are basically junk if we want to do any kind of hard wheelin. I mean if ya take a stock rubicon and inner/outter sleeve, double gusset, custom truss and weld tubes, regear, HD ball joints, and throw in some chromo shafts we jus start to have something worth wheeling with, but other than that, we're just on borrowed time. All I'm needin now is the HD ball joints and Chromo shafts and I'll be about set. If I were you Casey I would look into a truss and weldin th tubes also while you got it tore down. Those tubes do come loose and ya can bend a tube by the third member. Just somethin to think about, I found out the hard way.

I spoke with Steve the other week and when he turned back from Cleator they went back and ran the waterfall twice. He said he was going to go back again sometime and film it.

Ya might have a tough sale there for most of us all. West siders 2 hours drive, East siders 3 hours drive, ante up the bucks to the Parker 4x4 club when ya have all kinds of free wheelin around here right out the back door (20 miles away). They are startin a OHV park (pay to play) a little north of you and it was brought up on another forum or 2 and there was a lot of negative feedback from many about havin to pay to play. That out here in the West is a real turnoff especially since there so much free land out here to wheel in. I know eventually the state will go that route of pay to play just like the Eastern States have. But even back there (I lived in IL. and PA.) it's a bad subject and not liked at all.
