Picked your Jeep up from a shop!?!?!? Starting to sound like those Master Pull guys....
Dude, we could have done your gears and locker.....Seriously, I know it's good to have a pro do gears and give you that warranty. I just had to jump on this opportunity to give you a little crap. You would have done the same to me.

had them install a long arm suspension lift kit on my cj5 to rock 42" tires for rock crawling a few months ago, only to have to pay an extra $800 for the "labor" cuz it took an extra team member to do the job. I couldve done the work myself, but i was recovering from a dislocated shoulder and snapped elbow from a work accident, plus the landlord didnt want any "project vehicles" in the driveway and I had to get it done before i got evicted... oh i should add the landlord drives a hummer... bahaha
What was ur experience with them?

Pretty Sweet lights, Tim. My last wheeling trip went pretty well other than being HUGELY disappointed when Reiter was still closed. Walker was great. Somwbody has given the Lower Mainline Trail a lot of love since I ran it that night when you guys were up. I ran the whole thing bottom to top without pulling winch cable once. There are a couple new trails that have just been built and just opened up. To include another killer Rock Face climb besides the one on Expressway that claimed my axle shaft last time. Expressway was very muddy and it just gets more fun the wetter it is when I do it. You guys definitely need to come up on the weekend of April 17th if you can. I promise a good time will be had by all so long as it is our usual group of 6 or less locked, geared and well set up Jeeps. There were just too darn many rigs there last time to keep any steady forward motion. It has NEVER taken me half the day to just run Upper Mainline and Expressway. Those trails should only take a 2-3 hours and that is making time to get people unstuck. So, do you or anybody you know of have a 4wheeling trip planned for this next weekend? It is supposed to rain all week so I'm sure Evans would be a blast whether it gets snow or even if it is just really super wet and muddy. Let me know. The boss will be out of town Wed-Sun.

I've been in contact with the DNR guys who manage Reiter Foothills ORV area. I'm in the process of setting up a weekend where guys fro CherokeeForum can go up to Reiter and volunteer to get some trail maintenance done. I'm down with giving a little of my time and sweat if it means getting Reiter opened back up sooner. I'll keep you guys posted on what I find out.

Picked up my D44 with new superior 4.88's from ACRO and mounted in the rain. After 7 months of overhauling, the war wagon is almost ready for her "maiden" voyage!
