I have a bunch of broken fox bodies, but they should be fixed here shortly. Then its off to the races on the Jeep to get it ready for Moab in the summer.
I like Hooters........both kinds.....Funny thing my ex wife and oldest daughter both worked at Hooters at the same time..... Mrs. Busam & Miss. Busam on their name tags....Busam pronounced Bosom....at 6'6" 269Lbs. I guess it's safe to say I'm the bigest Busam any of you guys have seen?............hehehehehe

Sorry to hear about your axle problems. Hope it gets worked out for you without too much pain. Nothing worse than having new mods to the Jeep and not being able to enjoy them ..........

Well I'm at RCOR right now, and they immediately took it in to diagnose. Dan was really apologetic, and will take care of the damage. He even offered to take care of the towing bill which was covered by my insurance.

It looks like a faulty pinion bearing, but they have to finish taking it apart to fully diagnose. He offered to overnight the parts and get it back to me by tomorrow, but I'll be out of town until next week. I'll let you guys know how it turns out when I get it back next week.

So far good customer service though...

Glad to hear they are fixing it without any drama. Hopefully nothing else got destroyed in the process.

There is a Red Rock Unlimited that I see a lot in Madison. I think he/she works in the Wyle building, as I have seen it in the parking lot there on several occasions.
