Dosen't make it much easier, just had the gears done at mac's shop last weekend. Still need some rock sliders, a spare tire/carrier, and I'd like a locker before the moab trip.


With 4 doors and a dana 30 my JK might be more of an XJ than yours.

Re: Important

Anybody have some D44 Warn hub mounting screws laying around? I need to replace a few and can only find complete rebuild kits. (The allen screws that hold the hub on)

Not sure if you found any, but I haven't had a moment to look in the shop and see if I have any laying around or not. If I get a chance, I'll let you know.

I got the air compressor done in the JT. I bought a Genesis dual battery kit for it, but the batteries that I ordered have yet to show up...so we'll see how that goes. Otherwise, I did order some of those ram mounts for the JT for holding the phone/HT radio.

Been upside down in work, just got back from Vegas Friday after a 16 hours travel day...9 hours in Chitcago waiting for a 30 minute flight.

Hopefully the permit process for the Moab event is about wrapped up, that's been a thing for the last 6 months...

Registration closes in two weeks...

After almost a year. I finally cracked through the bureaucratic wall and was able to get a vin# and register my homebuilt buggy for off-road use. Thanks Indiana. After going through the process I get why most people vin swap or go use one of the other questionable methods.

No Moab for me this year. Too much work that I can't get out of.

Re: Important

How about a MWC dinner Thursday night at the Moab Brewery? Cindy and I will only be there Thursday and Friday nights and there will be a lot going on Friday night. Would be great to catch up with all our MWC friends!
