I read where some one out there makes a kit to upgrade the axle and convert them over to the same lenght, but I can't remember right off hand.

First, the Rubi D44 and JK D44 have different spline counts. Second, the JK D44 has equal length shaft where the Rubi D44 has one short and one long shaft, neither of which is the same length as the JK D44 axles.

True dat! This time of year, I pretty much only go out to places that have patios. It is just too nice to be inside, especially after being in an office all day (not that I am complaining about actually having an office!) And Bison's is on the way home. So it all works out!Side note: anyone looking for a used set of 4 33x12.50x17's? I have some that I got from Jason, but don't think I will use them. Gime a shout if your interested. Price will be right ..............

Tire Repair Kit
Picked up a highly regarded tire repair kit (metal instead of plastic handles) just in case things get crazy out on the trails one day. 
Make sure you're sitting down if you're curious and want to check on the price of these kits.

not saying this is right to do, but I have some serious issues with the this forum and their stance on vendors.

I am mulling over the thought of hitting that Level 4+ trail over in Skyline. Should be nice and dry as it hasn't rained in a couple of weeks.

New Forum Look
On another note, I like that the forum didn't stick with the pure black and white look that it seemed to have for awhile recently - back to some differing gray scales, plus the light blue for some text.
Still need to figure out the deal with the folder symbol on the left next to the thread titles (differing colors, sometimes they're open, sometimes they're closed).

I mention it b/c we have several "non-contracting" type folks and others who have a hard time meeting our 11-1 lunch schedule...plus it is primo patio weather right now.
Heck, maybe I'll approach a local establishment and see how keen they are on having a "Jeepers Creepers Show-n-Shine Happy Hour" in the near future. Doesn't have to be just JKs, right? Maybe invite some of the local TJ and YJ folks that I've been seeing driving around town.
Let me tell ya......10+ bad-a jeeps parked in a parking lot will in fact bring in some new business.
Just a thought...what's everyone else think?
