Honestly, it was easily the best wheeling trip I've ever had. I would go back again but bring a lot of hard learned lessons with me.
The hardest I've had yet.

It's FINALLY official! Three jobs and months of savings:
-1 ARB 35 Spline D44 Locker
-Front and Rear Yukon 4.88 Gears
-Both Yukon Master Install Kits
-Nitro 35 Spline Rear Chromoly Axle Shafts
I've also had the front Rubi D44 that's trussed and gusseted with the factory locker in it and stock shafts (run 'em till they shatter)
Today is a good day. Everything should be installed by the 13th and then the only other possible thing I'd like to do is wheel and add some ACE sliders over my Rubi rails.
A huge shout out and thank you to our Forum's sponsor out of Maryland, Overland Off Road (www.Overlandoff-road.com). Josh is a great, down to earth guy. He had no problem working with me on my schedule (working night shift) and called me at around 9 pm tonight. We actually talked Jeeps for about 30 minutes before he gave me a smoking deal! I know where I'll be shopping for future Jeep parts from now on. No more Quadratec for me!
Also received a mysterious package in the mail today... A 50" light bar I didn't order? I won't name anybody (because I was asked not to) but this Forum has some great people on it and you never know who will become one of your closest friends. To the mysterious sender, thank you and it will be repaid at some point in the future.

I'm already thinking about it... I took a NASTY scratch last Saturday on the back passenger corner so I'm thinking I should get some corners back there... And stretch it while I'm at it!.... And go 37s... And it never ends...

I'm looking at Meartz's build thread and pictures of wheeling and it just hit me how broke I'm going to be after all this... 
I'm hoping getting where I haven't been able to go before will make it all worth it.
