That works for me too. 6am at Walmart parking lot off of memorial Pkway

BTW, went wheelin today with neighbor down off of TN River bridge on Memorial Pkway (north side of river). OMG, talk about mud flinging. Broke tow strap 3xs. mud everywhere, the thick stuff. we need to take a trip over there one day.
I learned real quick that a chain is much better than tow strap. Also need to add short shovel and a come-along.

Be careful using a chain, I've had one break on me before. Can be dangerous when they snap!

6AM sounds good - I like the idea of taking our time, and not having to do 75+ on those back roads.

Default For Sale: Five 17" Rubicon Machined Wheels for JK

Hello Everybody...I also posted this in the For Sale section but wanted to make sure Jeep folks in the Huntsville and surrounding area see it.

I have a set of five 17" Rubicon machined "polished" wheels (no tires) for sale...they are new vehicle "take-offs" and in excellent condition...they fit 2007 to 2009 Jeep Wranglers and are 17" with 5X5 bolt pattern. $400 firm and cash only...for pictures email harry.buford@gmail.com or call 256 683-8788 or 256 759-2640. The wheels can be seen and picked up in South Huntsville.

JK-Rubi - thanks for making me aware of this site...lots of excellent info and JK pictures. I also mounted the rails and they look really good. Thanks!

Thanks,
Randy

You're welcome - glad to hear the Rock Rails worked out. You'll have to come meet everyone one day when we're just going to go out and splash some mud.
