Let us know when you're back in town.

Anybody looking for a set of Rubi axles? There's a set in Athens. I was going to buy but found a set local. Girl wants $2300 and they are complete.

All you need is a switched source of power. My local offroad shop has installed them in TJs. I lucked up and found a rolled TJ Rubicon. I got the axles, t-case, driveshafts, and it had PSC hydraulic steering assist. It also had a TerraFlex high steer kiy. It's going on the TJ next week. If I can come up with the cash, it has a 5.5" Rockcrawler long arm suspension on it.

A few pics from the recent ride out at Raccoon Gulch.

Here we are trying to find the trail.



Although the sun was out, it was a tad cold out there . . . note the chunks of ice on the ground.



Monty escapes the clutches of one mud hole.



Crossing a dry streambed.



Doing a little flexing.



Another stream crossing.
