    So. Many. Stickers.
    Axle seals are easy. Part of the gig.

    Diff seals are also easy. Relatively.

    Not worried about doing them (the seals)... looking for a reason to go big-as if I need one. No opinion on the 9"/choices?Dana choices?

    I work.
    You think it's been easy watching grass grow and filling bird feeders for the last 3 months.

    I think he would like to go.
    It would be great to get a WI crew to go.
    As Dave said, if you can do Tigerton, you can do a lot of Moab.

    Some of it just has a bit more pucker factor to it.

    I'm in. Now that I have a rear bumper, Golden Crack may be doable for me.;)
    Kimm'r said I could go. Rich wanted to do a solo trip. After you posted about wishing you were out west wandering around, I have a hair up my ass to go. My roof rack is sitting in pieces on the garage floor, and ALF is bald. Gas can holder is "in the cart".
    "I think he would like to go...." ya think, Dan.;) I'm f'n retired and there's sh*t to do. I'm guessin' I have 'bout 14 more years left on this planet. That'll put me at 80 y.o.

    FYI: Freeze-dried ice cream sammiches are pretty flipping good.

    Not in particular. Both are strong choices.

    Of course, above I said to just run a Tundra axle :D

    And there will 10,000 jeeps there hogging the trails

    Hopefully they will be on different trails, I'm going to be there March 28-29.
    I plan on camping on Shafer/Potash Rd and driving chicken corners the next day.

    Here's a shot of the roof rack delete. I should wash and ceramic the roof before I do the install.

    :rofl::rofl::rofl: "Truck finished". That thing will never be finished. Same for @pearing .

    Looking at my calander, I have appts next week so leaving on Monday is out. There's also a monthly steel silhouette shoot on the 21st and I try not to miss these matches. 40 rds from a deer rifle pinging steel at extended ranges will rock your world. :headbang:

    Plan B is to leave on the 22nd and be back by Oct.3. That way I can make the elephant gun shoot on the 5th. :D

    When can you have your truck ready? Are you talking about a day trip, weekend trip or other?

    That's my window. We all have plans to meet @pearing near Bayfield on the 10th.

    Between E.C. and Clark County forests there's 187,000 acres to play on....

    Open invite.....if ALF ever gets that itch to get his wheels dirty.
