Email me some pics so that I can put them up on our TM site when it's finished... That goes for all the South trail master folks.

Good to see Taylor again and meet you guys today Frankie. Bad that I was wrestling with that silly JKS track bar "upgrade", and wasn't able to wheel. Finally got the new JKS latest and greatest design bar on now, but need to do a little test flexing to check clearance at the ARB diff cover. David at Northridge4x4 told me all would be good - hope that's accurate, cause I'm going to be big time miffed if I have to wrench that new bar back off.

Stayed around and talked to Mike for awhile - he has an awesome looking 2DR Rubi on 37's and a lot of nice upgrades. If you find us Mike, say "Hi".

Thanks for posting some pics - hope you guys let us know if you plan to hit that trail again in the future. Next time I'll try to not have the Jeep taken apart.

I know It would do fine, it's just a mental thing I guess. When I was younger I had a 4x4 Mazda and put it through hell, and didn't think twice. Like I said, the new will just have to wear off a little bit for me.

Hey, that's fully understandable Jordan. Most of us here just want to get out on the trails, do a little climbing, go over an obstacle or two or more, but most importantly . . . not do any damage, and definitely be able to drive our Jeeps back home and to work the next day.

Just take it easy, learn your Jeep (my JK is much more capable than my previous FJ40 and CJ-7), and have fun.

In my opinion, the only good snake is a dead snake!

Anthony - you going to add any gauges during the new engine install?

I like those gauges, but hate the location. I know there isn't really a good place on the dash for gauges, but I just do not care for mounting them on top of the dash. Maybe a pod on the A pillar

And Holy Carp! That Jeep is clean ..............
