The new driveshafts are in. Jim at HigherGround designed it so that the front and rear are only about 1 inch difference in length. This means that we will only need to carry one spare shaft. He also had them rebuilt with a thicker/stronger material.

Yeah, one of the first things I told the realtor was how much clearance I needed in the garage. Most HOAs would not be very happy with BEAST parked on the street!

The Beasts' climbing ability is beyond words! Thanks Dave for letting me experience this for myself
Here's a screen capture of your Jeep. I was trying to figure what angle it was to the hill .. and it could have easily climbed more
