Yet another blessing to reflect on this Thursday.

By the way, what made you think Dana 35? Does the D44 only come with tow packages and Rubi's?

The D35 has not been the standard since the TJ....I think. All JK's have 44's.

In fact, before I met up with the GA guys, I was talking to them over the CB. Helped a bunch because I thought they were ahead of me on the road to the Trailhead, but turned out they were about a mile behind - was able to slow down a tad through the twists and turns on the road to the trail. Plus they're very helpful keeping track of everyone while on the trail, not to mention the good natured banter that livens up the ride.
is there anything you HAVENT bought for that jeep of yours Gary?

What was total if you don't mind me asking (figured shipping would be more than $50)? Please send PM if you'd rather not post. Thanks.
