Naturally, I found a little mud on the way home

Yes, it was GREAT. And Vin, you watch now, the Jeep Wave will come at you in spades now!

Also, let me put this out there, if ANYONE ever needs anything in terms of an extra set of hands, or a garage to work in, just let me know. I'm available to lend a hand.

And the rest of the pics can be found here. Clicky clicky.
The pics were posted YESTERDAY! I dont' mess around. See above.

Also, I do want to get those skids that require welding. And as long as the welder is warmed up, I'm gonna have to get those rubicon add-on tubes that get welded to the Rubi rock rails. They look like just what I need. Have you seen them?

I KNEW you would, with those 35s!!!! how's it feel to drive? is it very sluggish?

As for the lift, my older son said it's not high enough!

My 5 year old is determined to get in/out on his own. He's been crawling up and down all day. It's fine now when the Jeep is clean, but on the trail he's gonna be a mess!

Hey, there's a guy on Ateam who posted TODAY that he wants to get this lift and was looking to host an install party. He said he's a professional chef. I told him he's a day late! But I of course offered up all of our services, seeing as we're experts now (at lifts AND at eating!)

Sounds good, I know I'm always down to lend a hand to anyone who needs it, better off helping each other out and saving some dough on labor so we have more $$ for more parts!

Got my Cobra 95 w/ Firestik coming in this week and thinking about ordering a teraflex steering stabilizer and adjustable front track bar. Got a road trip to Florida coming up at the end of June and need to make the ride as smooth as possible!
