BTW... I'll be headed DOWN to Payson next weekend. I'm part of the Flagstaff CMA (Christian Motorcycle Association) chapter... and one of our big yearly runs, called "Run for the Son", is us heading down there for the weekend on our bikes. Hope it will be good weather.

Thanks guys... Well I'm back in the fight again. This time it is with Dad. I AM NOT going to let him quit yet. He's tired, and the environment has him down, but the only thing between him and getting out now is eating and exercise. I'm personally standing over him and pushing him because the system doesn't care either way...

Love my new high powered laser. 2000mw that will shine for miles and will light things on fire. I guess I just like cool toys. Can't wait to try it for some long distance photos. I know a lot of you guys are shaking your heads like why would anyone buy that but I guarantee you every person I have ever handed a laser to and let them play with it thought it was so cool and didn't want to put it down. Get two or more lasers by a campfire and you can put on quite an awesome laser light show in the smoke.

After a month of work, I'm finally close to being able to go playing again! "Project" included swapping out the automatic for an AX15 (I converted the automatic cooler to use as a PS cooler), full beef up on the NP231 (6 pinion, wide chain, SYE and 2 low conversion), WJ knuckles, full frame stiffeners (front, mid and rear), control arm drop brackets and leaf spring drop brackets. Before, I couldn't get more than a few inches of drop. Now I get a good 10" of drop in the front!

Thanks. I now have to figure out what I want to do about a sway bar.

Well, now that I have an awesome front suspension, the rear is the next part to tackle. I went wheeling around in the desert near my house (some pretty rugged trails). While it went really well (front end was amazing), I found that I'm in need of some shorter rear shocks (probably need stock XJ shocks as I'm currently using Wrangler Rubicons front and rear shocks) and some taller rear bump stops (right now the shock and rear shackle mount are acting as the bump stop). I'm trying to avoid going to longer shackles, but that may be necessary as well.
