Man! TN would be a blast with Gary, but I want to stay local if possible...especially with the rain we've rec'd the past few days.

I'll be in/around Ft. Knox till Friday midday, so just make a decision as to where and I'll logon Friday to find out the details.

I'll be sure to bring the winch for you...

we need to bust ass on a YJ and see if we can get it running. I'd gladly come play then. I need to get motivated to finish it. I need a couple of more big pushes to get it done

Who was it that had a recommendation for someone that does gear installs around here??

I've been considering doing it myself, but I have a feeling it would take a few days and I haven't re-registered my truck since the end of 2007, plus took insurance off of it. I'll need to have the JK out no more than a day

I feel as though going inside a trans and setting up gears are the only 2 things I know absolutely nothing about. I know I can fix anything else.

That would be me.... below are the details.
Autosport
1018 Conception Ave., Huntsville, AL‎ - (256) 533-2360‎

I have had two vehicles done and about four of my friends. I have over 150K on the same rear end with not one problem.

I would be up for a ride but I really need to get longer shocks.... any body out there have the shock extenders.
