Lol... Glad to hear your jeep is almost done!
The guy drove from Dallas, and got here at 2 am. Test drove it, inspected it, paid me and was gone. It was freakin' crazy.
I was very happy until I began to wrench on my jeep to find the 3 motor mount bolts sheared off the block.
It was like that when I bought it last year. I tried to drill out the bolts and it did not work, so I ended up getting studs welded into the block. It worked pretty well, til now. Chinakee and I worked on it and we welded bolts to the gound studs. Hopefully it holds but I don't know. I may be screwed..

Thanks for the nomination, I deserve it. 
Here are the rocks I'm dealing with

I have a cabin about a ¼ mile above our ranch in Montana. The trail to it winds up the hill for a quarter mile through the rocks and I tried to drive home one night in the rain and mud. The fun part was the 800 mile drive home with a cardboard window, a door that will not open and two passengers, my brother and his wife.

I got my new bike today guys. I paid for an '09 close-out, and they sent me an '07. WTF! I went to the store after doing my research and they said, they can't help me.

Not happy guys.. I hate doing these things, but I'm going to email corporate.
That was my favorite LBS too..

On a related note, I got in 80+ miles last week at lunch, and hope to get in that many this week as well!! Since the last visit to teh LBS, the bike has been trouble free!! I was able to hit a couple of the harder loops too, so I hope I can continue to do those!! I really have a lot of options for riding, right out the back door of my workplace...it's nice!!
