What happenin fellas? Anyone make it up for the Crawl? Looks like they made around 60k for the MS Society, MN Chapter. I was working all weekend but I was mingling in the campground both nights. Riding opportunities where the new Virginia ORV Expansion East Boundary that was cut LAST weekend by Duluth Offroad, NMJ, and Rochester Rough Riders. They also ran 40 rigs both days down the MMT which is still not open to the public. Lots of broken parts and a couple flops where reported to me when I was doing this... (my view from the truck)
DOA Andy in his KOH buggy yesterday,
I got my rig all tore apart. Took the welded Dana 30 out a couple days ago. Putting my spare open 30 in tomorrow along with a IRO double shear track bar, new UCAs, new shocks, and bar pin eliminators. Gotta weld one new shock mount on the rear axle.. I also destroyed my X member one of the times I was out riding so I will be getting a "belly up" skid and might be replacing the 242 with the 231 I scored from a club member for nothing. Should be ready to go in a couple weeks! Going to start my 87 MJ build when I finally get the XJ wrapped up. I will document the build and once its close to completion, I will post a build thread somewhere...not here.
Jeep tore apart in the "new to me" garage at my new place. (friggen awesome) the red comanche is also inside on the otherside of the 89....
Here is the 87 MJ.. you guys probably seen it before. Got lots of work ahead of me! Cant wait to start! I hope to have it wheelable by October, and pretty much finished (well where I want for the time being) by the next Crawl.

Just thought I would give you guys heads up on these rock sliders of mine. I lost my jeep last year and don't need them anymore.
