sweet dude! just went to Howards Shop to get an anlignment. Told me only thing he could do is set toe. No charge till i come back with the adjustable uppers. What a good guy! im going back to him for all my alignment needs, both civic and jeep!

Yea - he's a really nice guy! If there's any problems, you can take it back for no charge...I wonder if that includes after 4wheeling too hard? LOL

I'm hoping to go to Glamis with my bro but I am having gas money issues.

Yeah and I found out my junk does damn well on the whoops and in the sand in general. I was hitting 50 mph floating over the whoops on sand highway at Buttercup a couple weeks ago.

No wonder you want me wheels...

Yeah, by the way, about those wheels Aren't you coming out this way soon?

hmmm, not sure, my next big trip is out to Joshua Tree for Turkeyday weekend for a 300+ person desert bash....

i wonder if we should start a parts train? If I had the space, I'd bring them to JV to hand off to someone, but 2 passengers, a dog and gear won't fit 4 extra wheels.

ps: got an offer to buy em, and turned em down. Wheels are sitting waiting for your paws to put sand tires on em. But I wanna see at least video of first flying sand if I'm not there...

Go ahead and sell them, I will find some. I might just re-max out my credit card and buy some new steelies.

I have the Cragars and I have bent them up so I want to get something a little stronger, thanks.

 

[HeepSpeed]

Do you really need to if they're just rolling sand tires?

I will use my bent up cragars for the sand tires and the better ones for my BFG's.
