Awesome, hopefully your trip went well! I haven't had a chance to use the tent yet. Keep having things come up at work.

Haven't posted in awhile. Been really busy with work and other life things. Got the gears done in the Jeep about 2 months ago and they are really nice. They gave a lot of life back to my Jeep and am happy that I went ahead and had them done. The 4.10's pair nicely with the 31's, feels very natural. I'm still trying to figure out the drive-line vibrations I'm getting above 55MPH or so. Maybe I'll figure it out one day, probably not. The jeep turned over 150K while I was gone, didn't get an exact picture because the wife was driving it.
Had a little bit of time before being gone for a month for work to knock out the drivers side ball joints and u-joints. Went pretty smooth besides the cheap ball joint press from O'Reillys trying to press the ball joint in sideways. Had to use a poor man's shim. Had time to reverse sear a Tri-Tip while doing this, turned out pretty good. Going to be changing the break in oil in the gears this weekend since I'm at about 950 miles. Also going to be installing my SOLID diff covers.
Also, helped a buddy throw a 4-inch lift on his JK this past weekend. Turned out pretty good, forgot how nice it is to work on a vehicle without any rust!
