Well, being the new XJer (modding them at least) Ghost and 2offroad has offered to help me slap on my 3" kit and romp through Ghost's back yard! The word on the street is Ghost has an open invite to turn this into a get-together, so anyone who can make it, should.

How freakin cool is that?!

If my xj drove, id take it down there and we could slap the new axles on. I know its gonna be hella hard doing it by myself, but I still need a few parts anywho.

when are the festivities?

North Georgia military college and state University (computer sci major). Took 5 years, but hey, he has a kid and is married so some slack has to be given! Yes, he is commisioning and already has his orders ( :( ).

LOL stucks in the parking lot count! Sounds like you cats had fun!

:cheers: to ImmaHonkey's bro!

My day went so-so: got the tranny filter mounted & plumbed, when I primed up the cooler (AC condenser) I found a massive core leak where I had tweaked the output fitting... Got disgusted, went in/ate lunch & took a nap. Tomorrow's projects be stealing the condenser off the MJ to finish that on the XJ, replacing the alternator in my DD XJ, and maybe do some plumbing for the OBA.

Thanks a ton guys! Made it home before the wife, figures since I hauled ass home that she's in Pineville eating with the kid. :P

Yeah, I got a few cool pics of the wheeling and I'll get them off the camera and hosted Monday. I'll shoot the pics up Monday evening or durring the day if I can keep the boss off my back.

Rode home great. I think the ride is better now than pre-lift. Only problem is at 55 the shimmy sucks, but that was there before the lift and it still could use an alignment, toe adjustment and I wouldent doubt a fresh balance just to top if off.

Hopefully if the Relay for Life isnt the end of mine, the wife/kid/I can show up at Morrow Mountain and they can get to meet you guys. Wife missed me so it's off to bed...... :greensmok

Cannot wait to see the pictures! Please email them to me! picturem@yahoo.com Been thinking about the Rear DS again and I bet those blocks are causeing the pinion to rotate up and bind the DS hence the straps break! Enjoyed the wrencing and playing in the yard and wheeling in the clay pit! We will have to get toghther again, and I think a trip to Saudi might just be in order! :confused1 Hopefully I can get the new springs on this week and the DS fixed yet again!

Sounds liek yall had a blast! Graduation was ok (one speech lasted almost 45 minutes!) Commssioining was cool too. Me and my other brother got to pin his bars on (I think he is a second leutenent (sp?) ). Him and his wife are on ft lauderdale now (lucky sobs, but they deserve it!)
Anyways, next wrenchfest plan a little in advance and hopefully i can make a weekend out of it and learn some useful stuff.

We'll definatly have to get something else up soon, but like you said, a little more advance warning. Kinda came up fast on me so I had to act. Free time is hard to come by! :)

I'll shoot the pics to you tomorrow evening and post some up on the site too!
