My mistake. Looks good. I'm going to wait a little bit before I get mine on. I've got a lot of project to start another one. Any parts show up for you since you were going?

Not yet, but there should be a diff skid coming in the next day or so that was on backorder. Been battling gas cap light all day and I think I have it fixed. Also updated my tuner and don't ya know, my spark knock is gone! After spending money hand over fist for sensors and stuff, all it took was updating the tuner online.

I think I may swing my plans on the Jeep to use a different lift to the EVO doubleD. I'll put off the rear tire carrier for the following year. I want to be able to flex as much as possible and I cant see the lift I have now is going to be able to get what I want out of it. I guess I'll find out next year on the current lift, that's if I havent decided to swap it out by then. I was thinking coilovers but with a new lift that's going to wait!!! :sigh: (thinkig out loud I guess)
 
Arent you planning to do any snow runs? Just because summer is over doesnt mean we done wheeling. We just getting started.:D

This was up by beasore last year, we had a blast. EVERYBODY got stuck at least once, but we all helped pull eachother out. Out of everyone there,mine was the only casualty, when my TB bracket started to tear off my axle housing.

I'd for sure be up for a snow run since I've never gone. I'd have to get some snow chains for just incase and a bumper!!!! OOOOOHHHHH......Got excuse to buy the bumper sooner!!! :clap2:

You don't need snow chains. Just air down those pretty new meats and you'll be fine. But investing in some recovery gear can't hurt, even if it's just a few D-rings and a snatch strap or two.

And he doesn't know it yet but that Hawaiian guy in Bakersfield is going on a run with us soon:D

I ended up getting a hand riveter for the skins so I know it will get done.

Thank you Sharky for pointing me in the right direction.

Could have just borrowed mine, but I know we don't live that close. Hope all goes well.
Will be interested in how it goes.
I bought the same one about 3 months ago after 10Frank9 suggested the same one.

You are my new best friend. Can I rent that thing from you in a couple weeks? :)

I thought we were planning on completing them together? I've got to get mine over to the powder coater. I have to make sure they form to the body of the Jeep first before I think of powder coating first. Haven't had the time to do that yet.

Yeah that was the issue that you live so far away or I would have borrowed yours. I'll for sure be posting how it comes out.
