Yep. It's the old closed road. Once I get my lift on and new tires I'll be game to go. Probably a few times over the summer too since it's close to home.

Ya that's exactly why I haven't tried it yet. As soon as it warms up a little more I'm going to put a 3 inch rough country lift on and some 31s. I'll stay in touch and let you know when I'm going to go for sure.

Any body live in the GR area and want to give me a hand replacing my u-joints, I don't have a garage, all the tools or even flat concrete driveway. I really do like to work on my own vehicles but like I said I don't have the stuff to do out. Heck if you just let me use your flat concrete driveway that would be awesome!

What U-joints are you planning to replace? Drive shaft (front or rear)? Axle?

Those can be a pain but you dont need much in special tools, you'll have to rent a axel nut from the parts store. I could possible help but it wouldn't be untill next Friday (not tomorrow) I would know for sure later next week, That would be my next day off. What axel do you have up front?

Yeah I know its going to be a pain, that's y i was looking for some level cement. My whole driveway is pretty much a dirt/gravel hill. No place to even jack the jeep up. Yeah today is my day off and I decided I wanted to fix then today if possible lol. But yrah let me know about next friday cuz I probably won't be about to get them fixed today
